In this session, author Dorie Clark joins in to talk about personal branding — on an individual level as well as for an organization. How does a leader’s personal brand align with the impression of an organization as a whole? Can they be separated? (Think: the association between Steve Jobs and Apple.) Dorie and Beth dig into what personal branding actually means, how it can impact your reputation, and how — or if — your personal brand changes as you choose different career paths throughout your life.
They discuss:
- What does personal branding actually mean?
- How is building a personal brand for yourself different than building a brand for an organization?
- Why your reputation is important and how it aligns with your organization
- How to be seen as a leader who can cultivate a pipeline
- What are some some ways big organizations can clarify their focus?
- Will choosing different career paths impact your personal brand in the long run?
