Yes, I’m still talking about personal brand. Before you skip, this one is an extremely personal message and insight into why I think personal brand is so important. My personal brand isn’t about what other people think; It’s about what I think when I see myself. It’s personal. I’ve said before that the reason I make these videos, posts and more is to help me get better at being a leader and a person. This week’s message is a personal note to myself about why I make these videos, newsletters, podcasts and more. Personal branding, for me, is not about traditional branding. In marketing, we all know why brand is important. Brand is what people think and say when you’re not around. Some time ago my personal brand became important because I wanted to make sure that when I look in the mirror, the person looking back represents all the things I think are important – To me. This goes for everything. The creative work I’m producing and what I’m putting into the public. My fashion. My work. My relationships. When I look in the mirror, am I doing the things I want to represent me? When I think of the things I’ve done, is that it impress others? Or did I do it for me? I want that answer to always be I did it for me. So that when I look in the mirror, the man I see is the doing the work, the art, relationships I want to be looking back at me. You might say, I’m doing it for the man in the mirror… --- This is part of my Get better Friday, all about being a better leader. Each piece is about me describing what I’ve been practicing to help me become a better leader and coach for my team, my career and my personal life.
