Personal Branding

Personal branding is the platform from which the world sees you. If you don’t shape it yourself, other forces shape it for you. You don't have to be a household name to employ personal branding strategies. Such skills may help you land a job or get your budding business off the ground. In life, many people will try to define you. Take control of your identity and of the ways others may perceive you. Remember that makes you different can be your strength and your competitive edge.
