Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you. KEY TAKEAWAYS We are an ever-changing ecosystem - our personal and professional identities are continuously evolving, requiring us to actively create what's next for ourselves. Every interaction and external stimulus—be it visual, auditory, or kinesthetic—leaves an undeniable trace on us, shaping who we are every second of every day.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you. KEY TAKEAWAYS Leadership presence is like perfume; it's the scent you leave in a room. Try setting waypoints instead of rigid goals - trying something, reflecting on the lessons and what you enjoyed, then determining your next step - to foster continuous learning and celebrate your progress. Working autonomously lets you focus on your strengths and attract opportunities that provide the most enriching partnerships and collaborations for you. Social media...

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you. KEY TAKEAWAYS The consequences of your choices go well beyond you. Being aware of the wider systems creates opportunities for us to be responsible for the consequences of both our direct and indirect influence and behaviour. When leaders take responsibility instead of shifting blame, employee trust increases, engagement rises, and team performance improves. Leadership is about taking responsibility for understanding our impact and influence, and being willing to...

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.

The journey to authenticity begins with noticing the stories we tell ourselves and questioning their truth to better understand who we truly are.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you. KEY TAKEAWAYS Being a leader is both about us and it's beyond us. Leadership is a choice you make - that's why personal branding matters. Personal branding is at the core of effective and authentic leadership.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you. KEY TAKEAWAYS The first step in building an authentic personal brand is being congruent - that is, being in agreement or harmony - within ourselves. Who we are is not what we do. Because our stories shape our identity and influence our behaviour and interactions, showing up authentically comes with responsibility and judgement. The significance of collaboration and collective leadership in today's world means that authentic personal branding plays a critical...

Reading of any kind of genre is powerful and allows us to learn from stories and experiences other than our own. Our starting point does not define our future. Explore new reads, revisit old ones,...

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
We are all different, and that is our great strength.
Trust not just that you can do it, but that you can survive your choice.
