Recent research demonstrates how personal branding is important now for effective career and leadership advancement:
93% of employers check a candidate’s LinkedIn profile, with 85% doing so immediately upon receiving an application.
Your personal brand is how others perceive you, your skills, and your value.
And if you want to grow in your career, it’s crucial to be intentional about shaping that perception.
Why Personal Branding Matters
- Visibility Creates Opportunities When people know who you are and what you stand for, opportunities start to come your way. Whether it’s new projects, promotions, or collaborations, a strong personal brand opens doors.
- You Control the Narrative Rather than letting others define your reputation, personal branding allows you to highlight your strengths, share your expertise, and communicate your career goals.
- It Builds Trust and Credibility A consistent, authentic brand makes you more trustworthy. People are more likely to invest in someone who is clear about their values and vision.
What are some things that you can do to start defining your personal brand??
- Define Your Core Values: What do you want to be known for? Identifying your core values helps you stay authentic and consistent in how you present yourself.
- Share Your Expertise: Whether it’s through LinkedIn posts, speaking engagements, or writing articles, find ways to showcase your skills and insights.
- Be Consistent Across Platforms: Make sure your online presence—on LinkedIn, social media, or even your portfolio—reflects the same message about who you are and what you do.
