PERSONAL BRANDING RESOURCE CENTER

​

I LOVE THIS STUFF. Personal branding is the process of making oneself stand out by using corporate marketing tactics to stand out. In its modern form, personal branding was popularized in 1997 when Tom Peters wrote "The Brand Called You". The benefit of personal branding is you can distinguish yourself for whatever reason you want--job and career moves, community leadership, product or service promotion, or simple self-promotion.

​

For me, personal branding is strongest when people have a true sense of identity and value, meaning they know who they are and how they influence others. The trick is knowing how to articulate one's personal brand. The resources below can serve as a foundation for developing a winning personal brand.
