There is plenty of myth-busting to be done surrounding the art of personal branding.
In a world of influencers and high-profile social media personalities, it's easy to assume that developing your personal brand means deviating from who you really are. But, that's not the case.
In fact, as we discuss during How to Build Your Personal Brand, staying true to your authentic self is actually an important step in the right direction to making your brand work.
Think About the Value You BringBuilding your personal brand means bringing value to others. That doesn't mean shifting your values to seem like someone you're not. Instead, it's about understanding what motivates you, defines you, and embodies who you are.
