332: Defining Your Personal Brand: The First Step to Becoming a Thought Leader with Carol Cox and Diane Diaz

332: Defining Your Personal Brand: The First Step to Becoming a Thought Leader with Carol Cox and Diane Diaz

We’re kicking off a new series all about personal branding.

Do you know you have a personal brand, whether you're aware of it or not?

Now more than ever, your personal brand is essential.

We're all swimming in a sea of online content, from social media posts to podcasts and videos, and even AI churning out more stuff.

How do you stand out in that crowd? How can you connect with the people you most want to connect with so that they understand who you really are, what matters to you, and then how they align with that?

We know it can be confusing about what personal branding actually means.

How slick and buttoned up does your personal brand need to be? Does it feel superficial or like a facade to have a personal brand? How does your personal brand connect with your company brand?

That's why we're doing this series on personal branding. It's a perfect match with thought leadership and public speaking. So, let's navigate this together and help you make your mark in your world.

In this episode, Diane Diaz, our lead speaking coach, and I talk about:

  • What a personal brand is
  • What it looks like to define your personal brand
  • Our 3 C’s of personal branding
  • How to determine what your personal brand is currently
  • And more!
