Here we are heading into the end of the year, and most of us are not only looking forward to the end of 2020, but we're feverishly working on our vision and goals for the new year. One of the most overlooked ways to help accelerate those career and life goals you've laid out on your vision board or yearly planner is to ensure your personal brand aligns with your goals.
Your personal brand can become a stabilizing force in an unpredictable work climate. It...
When I work with speakers, coaches, entrepreneurs, and executives on creating a powerful professional image, it’s because they’ve either been told or they’ve come to understand that an effective brand is essential to showcase their knowledge and skills. They know that cultivating an overall image includes (but extends beyond) what you wear, your attitude, how you show up, the strength of your communication skills (verbal and non-verbal), and your digital footprint.

Are you familiar with that famous line "all the world's a stage" from Shakespeare's famous play "As You Like It?"
That line has held many interpretations over the years, but never has it had more significance then in the social media world we live in today.

Ok, raise your hand if you're still using a manual toothbrush?? If so, then you'll really want to pay attention to this post.

February is heart health month and on social media recently I shared a story about a scare I had that took me to the emergency room. Since heart disease is the number one killer of women, I want to talk about a major contributor....gum disease.
Gum disease has long been...
In today's competitive market it would be negligent, and irresponsible, not to develop a strong personal brand. A strong personal brand should be a key component of your career management plan. And let me make it clear that when I say "personal" brand, I'm speaking about how you individually are showing up in your professional space.
