Episode Highlights

Rob always starts personal branding work with a definition. "I love the Jeff Bezos definition—your brand is what other people say when you're not in the room." That said, this takes a degree of self-understanding and assessment. Rob shared an exercise that makes this a little easier.

What does a personal brand blueprint look like? Whether corporate or personal, a brand is more than just a logo. But what are the key deliverables for a personal brand? We always provide someone with an overarching brand story along with a LinkedIn and resume reboot."

"It's a matter of intention, it's a matter of purpose." As Rob shared, personal branding starts and ends with purpose.

What brand has made Rob smile recently? "There are all kinds of different smiles," Rob began coyly as he shared that the brand that's made him smile most recently is the Royal Family as King Charles steps into a new role in building his own personal brand.
