“Personal brand is really key to your well-being because it's all about getting to know who you are, what you like to do. What makes you happy? What you want to spend your time doing? . . .  We don't want to be on autopilot, just going through the motions. We don't want to be disengaged from our work, from our colleagues from our clients, from our loved ones. . . . We want to be whole true, authentic selves and so I think really understanding what your personal brand is really requires you to sit down and look objectively, maybe dispassionately and passionately at different times about who you are and what you bring to the table and what you want to be doing.”

 On this episode of Practice Well(Being) we had a chance to sit down with Sameena Safdar Kluck a personal branding, social media and legal technology strategist. Prior founding Amplify Your Voice LLC in 2021, Sameena spent time as a practicing lawyer and working in large and small legal technology companies in sales and then legal marketing and branding. 

 We covered a lot of rich ground in our conversation including: 

• How living and working authentically impacts not just your wellbeing but also the people around you.
• Key questions to consider when developing and refining your personal brand. 
• The powerful intersection of authenticity and inclusion.

 We also discussed the ways that authenticity and personal brand are an important influence on and tool to be used as we navigate the Great Resignation/Global Re-Prioritization/the Great Upgrade (we all have thoughts about what it should be called!) and how being able to live and work authentically can be a huge energy saver.

“We are not taught the ways that mental well-being or happiness really impact our overall, not just well-being, but performance and success. Oftentimes happiness feels fluffy but I would argue that . . . living happy might be one of the highest value investments we can make in ourselves, in our families, in our communities and in the world.”

 In this episode of Practice Well(Being) our co-cost Rebecca Morrison shares her wisdom including:

• How you can leverage happiness as a competitive advantage.'
• A fail-proof method to get unstuck.
• Living Happy isn’t about bypassing the tough stuff but rather being able to successfully navigate every emotion that the human condition might bring our way.

 She also explains how happiness fits in to the bigger picture of well-being, why happiness (or positive emotion) is her favorite place to start when trying to improve your well-being and why you shouldn’t get hung up on believing that your circumstances are primarily responsible for happiness.

“If you are here on this earth, you are important . . . and it means you have something meaningful to contribute. Now what you need to do is to figure out what thing is you want to contribute. So if you are in a state of well-being . . . and when you are in alignment and connection with what that is, you can truly develop your potential, you can truly be more productive in the way that you work, you can take the friction out of the hustle, you can work more creatively and you can build more positive relationships, and you can cope with everyday stresses of life . . . that enables you to make that meaningful contribution.”  

 In this episode of Practice Well(Being) our co-host Nita Cumello shares her wisdom including: 

• One question you could ask – as a leader – that will allow you to understand how to use well-being to sustain individual performance for those on your team.
