🎙️Show Notes for Episode 101 - Personal Branding for Independent Consultants

Feb 15, 2023
 
 
As an independent consultant, you represent both yourself and your business.
 
Personal branding is usually defined as who you are, your mission, your values, and what makes you unique and distinct in your niche. Business branding, on the other hand, is usually defined by your assets, such as the logo, website, and social media handles. 
 
In this episode, I drill into personal branding for independent consultants. This topic is commonly misunderstood, misapplied, or overlooked by consultants, yet it's an important foundational aspect for IC businesses. 
 
Today, we’re diving in so that you can
  • Stand out as a consultant
  • Become sought after for what you do
  • Lay your personal branding foundation (commonly overlooked)
  • The 5 Questions to ask yourself to define and refine your personal brand
I want to ensure that you're laying this foundation so that you've got a solid personal brand and can make business development much easier for you and your business.
