Key Points:

A personal brand is a perception or emotion maintained by somebody other than you that describes the total experience of having a relationship with you.

You may have to dig deep into yourself to discover your personal brand.

You may not have a million followers, but you do have a platform – your sphere of influence.

If you wouldn't do or say it in person, don't do or say on social media.

Your personal brand includes how you handle situations.

Build the Golden Rule into your personal brand: treat others how you want to be treated!

The three words that describe you can help you define your personal brand.
