Unleash the power of the authentic ‘You'

We all know that branding is a key ingredient to business success, but do you know that purposely branding yourself to fit in with the expectations of others can be damaging? Research shows that trying to fit yourself into perceptions of what your brand should be can be detrimental to your mental and physical health.

Brand You is an antidote to that. It will help you discover your true authentic self, understanding the wealth of assets you bring to your world and the value these bring to your career, community and society at large. With the strong core of self-confidence, purpose and resilience this gives you, you will be better able to present, promote and apply your brand:

• Present yourself to the world with authenticity 
• Align your professional and personal life with your brand
• Attract people who are in need of your unique talents and values
• Develop a social media strategy to enhance your network

This edition brings new chapters and exercises focussing on authenticity in personal brand development and promotion, as well as providing a general refresh to bring the book up-to-date with societal priorities and culture changes.
