Personal branding tips for female executives. As a woman determined to stand out from the noise in my field of expertise, I realized that there was one thing that I was going to have to work very hard on" my PERSONAL BRAND". Initially , the thought of recognizing myself as a public figure and nurturing my brand felt like a task I would fail at, because I had many misconceptions and contradicting beliefs that I had to work on and unlearn. here are 3 of them that I had to work on: 📍1. Branding yourself is an expensive task that can only be done by celebrities. 📍2. Once you are branded and/or become successful, people in your circle will no longer accept you. 📍3. Branding yourself and managing your brand means leaving a life so public that nothing in your life is private anymore. No take note of the fact that , although I had those points ringing in my head, I decided to give it a go any way and told myself: If I succeed, awesome, and if I loose, I would have discovered multiple different ways in which not to do it. and bellow are some of the things I discovered. 💡1.Branding is not only for celebrities, you are already a brand, and you get to decide if you grow this brand or not and if you leverage it and enjoy the benefits there of or not. 💡2.Brand yourself or not, you need to remember that " People always want you to do well, just as long as you don't do better than them". So ensure you have a small circle of people who will always be there for you no matter what. Lights on, lights off, they will be present. I am grateful for the ones in my life. 💡3. There are many things that happen in my life that I don't share publicly, I select what I want the world to know, and give it just that, period. So to those of you who think building a brand is an impossible talk, go ahead and start where you are, trust me, 12 months down the line, you will be glad you had started.😊 If on the other hand you are unsure how to go about it, let me know in the chat or DM and I will be glad to help you start out your journey.
