Why Now Is The Time To Develop Your Personal Brand

It’s hard to believe that it’s 2021 and that creating a personal brand isn’t an integrated part of the educational experience for all learners. One of the quotes I reflect on often is from author William Gibson:

The future is here. It just isn’t evenly distributed.

Willliam Gibson

Today’s guest believes we can democratize more access and exposure to opportunities through the development of a personal brand. She’s not alone.

Here’s an excerpt from Seth Godin:

The internet shines a light on your projects and the only way to prove that you are indispensable – someone worth recruiting, moving to the top of the pile and hiring, is to show, not tell. Projects are the new resume.  If your Google search isn’t what you (need) it to be, then change it.  Change it through your actions and generosity.  Change it by so over-delivering that people post about you.  Change it by creating a blog that is so insightful about your area of expertise that others refer to it. This investment in your personal brand, your portfolio pays dividends for years to come.
