More Than Just a Headshot: How Leaders Can Manage Their Own Personal Brand Through Visual Imagery

I am SO very excited to welcome Stephanie Simpson to #TheEverydayLeaderPodcast! ??

Stephanie Simpson is a business and personal branding photographer with her own firm called Simpson Portraits and she loves to help leaders like you show the world why you stand apart from the crowd.

I asked Stephanie to join us on the Everyday Leader Podcast because she is not just any photographer and she takes more than just headshots. When I met her, I was like most of you – looking for a headshot and a couple images that I could use on my bio and different collateral pieces. I had no idea what I was in for when I met with Stephanie. Her bio suggests she is unique with her background in cinematography for big name television networks like Warner Brothers, not to mention her teaching experience in film and TV at the university level. But boy was I in for an experience.

I left her studio on top of the world as if I went in one person and came out someone different entirely. She didn’t just capture me in images – she saw the version of me that I was not stepping into and helped paint that picture for me through her magical strategic lens. Now that I’ve been working with Stephanie myself for nearly a year, it is so apparent to me that managing our personal brands through our photos and images is a crucial differentiator that is so easy to do but even more easy not to do.

So friends, as you listen to this podcast I want you to think about your opportunities to show up in front of all of your audiences being that version of yourself that you know you are and are so often frustrated that others just don’t see. This might just be your magic silver bullet – how can you leverage our virtual world and any opportunity you have, no matter what your position or what business you are in – to show up how you want to be seen. I’m absolutely thrilled to introduce you to Stephanie and talk about the importance of leveraging personal branding.
