EP46: Rent Your Title, Own Your Brand

In this episode, I dive into one of my favorite leadership topics: personal branding. I believe that if there's one thing you can do to take your career and life to the next level, it's mastering the art and science of personal branding. Join me as I share my personal experience of turning down a major promotion and the lessons I learned about the importance of owning your narrative and taking pride in your personal brand from that experience. I also introduce the PIE framework (Performance, Image, and Exposure) as well as the three key steps: show up, speak up, and step up - so that you can cultivate a strong personal brand that opens doors to new opportunities.
