In today's episode we are looking at the importance of personal branding to career progression especially in today's workplaces.

Your personal brand can be vital to you professionally.  If you are the type of woman who is ambitious, wants to drive change, push her career forward and reach new heights then your personal brand is everything.  It will make all the difference to where you get to in the work you do.

Are you using your personal brand?  Take the mini test - how many 'yes' answers do you get?  See what you need to do next?

 

"We want to be noticed but don't want to tell people about what we do. And this dissonance keeps us stuck." - Gemma

 

"BUT the difference between letting it happen organically and doing it on purpose and then using it to your advantage is HUGE." - Gemma

 

"Ultimately women want to belong and it feels like we are stepping outside the circle when we start to promote ourselves." - Gemma

 

"I truly believe that the lack of self promotion is one of the factors that holds women back and results in a bigger gender pay gap and inequalities in workplaces and at home." - Gemma

 

"Women can struggle if they have forgotten who they really are and what matters to them - getting older, doing different jobs and growing a family can all impact on how we see ourselves and this is important to think about when building a personal brand." - Gemma
