The Standout Personal Brand: A Stanford speaker spills the beans on personal branding success
A personal brand is what people say about you when you leave the room.
This atomic idea is courtesy of a session, organized by the Stanford Alumni Association, aiming to provide guidelines from personal branding executive coach and blogger Suzannah Scully on creating an outlier in personal branding. She discussed the importance of personal branding and its benefits in the longer term.
Understanding Personal Branding
Personal branding is the process of marketing oneself to others. Everyone already has a personal brand, consciously managed or not.
The crucial question is whether one actively manages their brand. This session emphasizes the importance of understanding and intentionally shaping one’s personal brand.
Who Needs Personal Branding?
Personal branding is essential for everyone, especially professionals such as job seekers, entrepreneurs, and leaders. Each group markets themselves to different audiences: employers for job seekers, the marketplace for entrepreneurs, and peers and industry for leaders.
Understanding these target audiences is key to effective personal branding.
To establish a personal brand, you must first be yourself.
