How did you find the courage/motivation to embark on the path of doing what you’re doing?
My motivation to achieve is really via persistence and hard work through driving myself to excel at what I do and add value. The path throughout my career has never been specifically plotted as some opportunities have presented that were unexpected…rather it was by taking a few risks to move outside of my comfort zone that has allowed me to achieve in my career.
What are your top two strategies for promoting your personal brand to help your business?
Confidence – be clear on who you are and what you are capable of…be confident that you add value to the business and make an impact Build partnering relationships – understand the business and work with other individuals in the business to ensure the business strategy and plans are driven forward. It’s critical to build strong positive relationships with individuals within the business so that you can work as a group to deliver plans.
How has personal branding helped you to achieve your business goals?
Branding allows you to consider who you are and what you stand for…to provides a level of professional confidence in your ability and present this confidence visually.
From your experience, what advice would you provide to other entrepreneurs/Leaders on personal branding?
Be clear on what you are wishing to achieve in your career. Asking the question “what am I working towards, what am I trying to achieve?”…Take a few gambles and step outside of your comfort zone.
