Does persistence matter in building a Personal Brand? Watch this video interview with Sunil Robert to know more!

Personal branding is about investing in establishing authentic relationships. In the 14th edition of Intraskope's Personal Branding Series, Sunil Robert - communications leader, speaker and author of I Will Survive & Bound to Rise shares his inspiring journey, trials and tribulations as he carved a path for himself. He is someone I know who has built strong relationships through networking, stayed grounded, been values-led and rooted in family tradition.

“I wanted to be a brilliant communicator. However, I struggled with low self-esteem. I needed to leapfrog over others who were way ahead of my grasp of the language among other aspects. To be the best I felt I needed to bridge the gap in learning. How do I write better? How do I speak better? I used to get mixed up with words since I didn’t have the necessary grounding. I didn’t have access to books and libraries. I joined a young orators club at a fancy place and felt out of league. However, I just persisted. I was beaten and battered for my knowledge and language. Not a nice experience I would say. I went through the crucible and came out with solid learning. Opportunities come like that. says Sunil. Watch this interview now!

“When it comes to networking people think of Linkedin. You build a network before you need it like you dig a well before you are thirsty. Just because you have a connection, does not mean it is a relationship. It is not a node; it is probably an influencer. How often do you give back? How often do you reciprocate and invest in your network?”, says Sunil.
