Hi Rahna! Excellent topic. I’m printing it, exercising my highlighter and thinking about my overall digital brand during the snowstorm tomorrow! Hope you had standing room only at the Tolland Library tonight.

Rahna, You spoke to my entrepreneurial class at Hartford University over 2 years ago. Your presentation was the one I remember the most from the 6 months worth of speakers. Most eye-opening was the information you shared about the “unconscious” factors that people use when meeting someone. These factors help us decide whether we should give them our trust, our admiration, and most useful to me: our business. Being in the design industry I have always given great credence to “looking the part” EVERYWHERE even the grocery store! However, knowing that other judgments are being made about my intelligence, honesty and professional ability has made me stronger as a businesswoman. I have recently opened my studio in a commercial location, built my own website and started a blog. Thank you for the great advice.

Absolutely! That’s exactly what we do. We work with companies to teach their employees about the impact of personal branding on their careers, and we have a specific program that facilitates a team exploratory on the interplay between company and personal branding. Give me a call if you’d like further info. It’s really powerful to see the lightbulbs go off in people’s heads about personal branding when they ‘get’ it. Thanks for the comment!

I think it is important for companies with a great deal of staff/customer interaction to educate on personal branding and help their employees craft a personal brand that is going to speak well for their organization. Could be a great idea for a niche consulting gig if someone could work with large corporations to assist in education this way.

Absolutely. It is still true that every day the most valuable resources of a company leave the building. Even in this economy, we need to find ways to nurture employees and have them acting as a part of the solution, not part of the problem. Your employees build (or destroy) your brand every day.
