Own Your Story

My book, "Own Your Story, or Someone Else Will," was nominated for Marketing Book Of The Year 2023 by BAM - Belgian Association of Marketing - Belgian Association of Marketing, a recognition for which I am grateful.

But is this 100% a book on branding or a leadership book in disguise?

It's the latter; this book is a reason to think and work on your visibility and legacy as a leader. And branding has to do with it.

Personal-ity Branding

Own Your Story challenges you to reconsider your approach to personal branding. This isn't about self-promotion or ego but about creating a lasting legacy within your professional journey as you cultivate your business. My concept of personality branding empowers you to showcase yourself as a leader in your field.

When you embark on this transformative journey with the book, you will reshape your perspective on the myriad tips circulating on social media. By critically evaluating the advice thrown your way, you'll realize it often leads to uniformity – everyone following the same tips, templates, and scripts. If everyone is doing the same thing, how can you distinguish yourself?

Exclusively for personalities

The personality branding I advocate is tailored for professionals whose individuality makes a significant impact. Let's be honest; relying solely on knowledge and experience to make an impression hasn't been sufficient for some time. Fusing your personality with your expertise compels people to invest in your company, product, or you as the Trusted Expert.

If you want to understand the power of using your personality better, I invite you to explore the four criteria outlined in my book.

Overcome your Triple F.

Begin by scrutinizing your Triple F. What about your Fear of Other People's Opinions? How do you deal with your Fear of Standing Out? However, the most crucial of the three is the Fear of your Own Opinion.

Gain insight into how these fears impact your mindset and cultivate power and confidence. It's time to break free from the shackles of people-pleasing.

Develop your bullshit radar.

OYS guides you in developing a bullshit radar. Stop blindly adopting every new tactic thrust upon you just because it promises more followers. There isn't a singular path to success; I provide various formulas in my book, allowing you to choose what aligns with you. Additionally, I share insights on crafting your unique content creation formula because, as the expert, you know your topic best. It's time to communicate it effectively.

Embrace storytelling

Steve Jobs once said, "The most powerful person in the world is the storyteller." While storytelling is a skill you can acquire, the impact of a story is intricately tied to the storyteller's personality.

Nobody knows you

OYS provides a reality check, emphasizing the distinction between the ongoing process of personal branding and the eventual status it can yield. Posting on social media doesn't guarantee visibility; not everyone sees your content or talks about you.

Build your brand in dimensions

Crafting your personal brand mostly happens online, but the pitfall lies in ensuring congruence with your real-life persona. This dimension is often overlooked. With the rise of Generative AI, a third dimension becomes crucial in shaping how we present ourselves.

Own Your Story, or someone else will. If you fail to claim your narrative, someone else will. Initiate your journey into personality branding and leverage your unique qualities to establish your presence, whether for your company or yourself.?

Because you are worth it.
