Peggy,
Great quote/analogy. This is the exact the point – we are all “products” in a sense. We are marketing, promoting, selling ourselves. This is extremely hard for the best of sales executives. For the rest of us, it is even harder . However, with the proper tools, mentors, and guidance, it isn’t as tough as it appears.
Thanks for the feedback!

This is a great step-by-step plan. Excellent tips. One of my favorite quotes about personal branding comes from Andrea Nierenberg: "In the grocery store of life, you have to figure out why someone would pick you up off the shelf. Are you new and improved? Are you repackaged? What are you doing to get that competitive edge? What you want to do is position yourself as you would a product.” The point being, it takes concentrated energy to brand yourself, and an idea of where you want to go, so that you know how to position yourself to get there. I have a few more tips about personal branding to offer on my blog: http://www.phcconsulting.com/WordPress/2008/06/04/whats-your-brand/

Hi Kevin,
What a great post! You have mentioned things that have really forced me to seriously think about things and how I can portray the way others think or see me.
I have been laid off since November 2008 and things just don’t seem to be getting any better. However, reading this post has sparked a fire in me to really drill down my objectives and personal brand. To really focus on exactly what it is I want and go after it.
Thanks so much for your wisdom and sharing your knowledge.

Kevin -
Thank you for your very informative article. When I discovered what made me different and how others perceived me, I developed my personal brand and my career success catapulted. In fact, the confidence inspired by my personal brand gave me the courage to take the leap from my VP position into entrepreneurship.
Today, I consult with businesses and individuals to develop their personal and business brands. I also have a self-discovery and branding web destination for entrepreneurial women due to launch shortly.
Developing a personal brand can feel daunting, however, utilizing the step-by-step plans like Kevin’s are a great way to make it happen. Happy branding!
