I gave a presentation on Personal Branding.

There were some great abstracts from the presentation I gave regarding “personal branding” to the Social Media Club of Kansas City. First — let me start by explaining MY definition of the phrase: Personal Branding is about building and managing the associations/images the public has in regards to yourself about a specific field(s) or topic(s).

The focus of of my presentation was centered around 4 fundamentals to maximize your success in your personal branding efforts:

Authenticity

Consistency

Sharing

Adding Value

I felt the discussion was fairly interactive in the sense that the group asked lots of questions. Each principle listed was questioned, rationalized and ultimately one, if not the biggest takeaway was naturally extracted by the group discussion: “following ALL and not just 1 or 2 of these principles is essential“. In order for these principles to work, they must be exercised in tandem.

If you’re looking for more, I have a lot more to say about the concept of personal branding in a previous blog post. Or you can check out the 5 slide PowerPoint from my presentation at the meetup. Enjoy! As always, I love to hear your thoughts, so drop a comment below or send me an email.
