Is it really all about YOU?

When your face graces the cover of a book, it's easy to assume that you are more important than the message within. And when your larger-than-life image dominates the opening slide of a presentation, it's hard not to believe that you take precedence over the message itself.

I've encountered countless justifications for this phenomenon. Some speakers and authors choose to use their own image for all personal and business branding. They refer to themselves in the third person and even write posts and comments using their own name when speaking from their perspective. While this approach may suit some individuals, it can be disconcerting. In fact, when naming a company, conventional advice suggests avoiding the use of your own name, unless, of course, you are a celebrity or have plans to sell the business in the future.

Of course, the decision lies entirely in your hands. But consider this: the belief that you will be remembered longer than your message may hint at a touch of narcissism. Is that too blunt? Well, for some, it might be. Particularly if they've never looked at the situation from this vantage point. It may stir up a bit of discomfort, a prick to the ego. And if you find it difficult to overcome that twinge of pain, then perhaps it's best to stop reading and move on.
