Ever feel like the black sheep in your industry? That’s not necessarily a bad thing—after all, being different is what makes you stand out. But there’s a fine line between being unique and being difficult to work with. Recently, I helped a friend give medicine to her sheep, and it got me thinking about personal branding. Among her flock, she has a black sheep—beautiful, unique, and… incredibly stubborn when it came time to get treated! It was the hardest one to work with, and that made me realize something. When you’re building your Personal Brand, standing out is essential. You want to be different, to be known for something. But if your distinctiveness makes it hard for people to collaborate with you, it might be time to adjust your approach. Strong branding isn’t just about being unique—it’s also about being understood.

There’s nothing like a day of burning piles on the ranch to bring a powerful personal branding lesson to life. As we cleared out acres of woods, I noticed something fascinating—when a piece of wood falls away from the main fire, it quickly loses its flame. But when I push it back into the heat, it reignites almost instantly. And that got me thinking… Are You Pulling Yourself Out of the Fire? To see what I'm up to with the burn project, catch the video in the comments. #PersonalBrand #GrowYourBrand #networking #leadership

You’ve got brilliant ideas and bold thought leadership plans—but if your brand foundation (aka your soil) isn’t ready, they won’t take root. 💡 A powerful seed needs fertile ground. If your personal brand isn’t clear, aligned, and timed right, the coolest ideas just… won’t grow. 📩 Book your Personal Brand Consultation and get clarity before you plant - link in the comments #PersonalBrand #GrowYourBrand #brand

Personal branding isn’t just about your job or LinkedIn profile. It’s about how you show up in real life, recognizing opportunities to contribute, and living your values authentically. How Can You Apply This? Look for small opportunities to help. Don’t hold back because something isn’t “your role.” Infuse your unique qualities into everyday situations. Read the full message in the blog post in the comments. If you’re not sure how to define or leverage your personal brand, let’s work together. Book your Personal Brand Consultation with me and start living your brand authentically, every day. DM me to schedule the consult. #PersonalBrand #GrowYourBrand #IRL

There I was, standing on our deck, sipping herbal tea, facing east, waiting for the sunrise. But all I could see was thick fog. It was cold, misty, and bleak. No glowing horizon, no vibrant hues—just gray. And yet, Butch, our rooster, started crowing. He knew it was sunrise time. He didn’t need a clock, the internet, or even to see the sun. He just knew. That moment struck me. It reminded me of the mentors in our lives—the people who just know when we can’t see the way. They guide us, even when the horizon is hidden. Watch this message (and see the foggy horizon here at Star Gazer Ranch!). Who Are Your “Butches”? Think about the mentors who’ve helped shape your journey. They could be coaches, family members, colleagues, community leaders, or lifelong friends. These are the people who see the potential in you when you can’t see it yourself. They crow encouragement, offer guidance, and remind you the sun is rising, even if you can’t see it yet. And often they’ll mentor you without any special coaching arrangement. Even if you haven’t hired an actual coach, I’m sure you can think of people who have made a positive impact on your life – even in just one conversation. Here are a few more of my favorites quotes about mentoring: “A mentor is someone who allows you to see the hope inside yourself.” – Oprah Winfrey “Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.” – Benjamin Franklin “The delicate balance of mentoring someone is not creating them in your own image, but giving them the opportunity to create themselves.” – Steven Spielberg How Mentorship Helps Grow Your Personal Brand Personal branding is all about how you are perceived in your industry and among your peers. Having a mentor can accelerate growth in several ways. Be a Mentor, Too Mentorship isn’t a one-way street. Yes, get the mentor for yourself! But lift as you grow and proceed through life. Who can you support through their foggy seasons? Maybe it’s a junior colleague, a friend, or someone in your professional network. Your experience can be the light they need. You, can be a “Butch” to someone who is having a hard time in their foggy, gray days. Or, maybe they just need a little instruction on how to properly shake hands?! Ready to Shine?
