Lorenzo!! Each day you amaze me with your knowledge and thought process in your blogs. Thank you for sharing the information and concrete steps to evaluate ourselves where we are in Personal Branding.
Gonna create a evaluation sheet based on your questions and evaluate myself.
Thank you :)
You rock, Lorenzo 🙌
Me reading "hmm, yes , ok ...try to skip..wait..ok..this one too, yes sounds good, uu, yes yes so true" 😃
I think the article is comprehensive, touches all the delicate parts that in most companies and circles are "taboo" or "unknown". It is hard to treat ourselves as products and services, being humble humans and such.
The hardest thing for me is to evaluate the value I added to companies or could add, it's always a team effort and based on opportunities. I know what I've done, but then all the "What if"'s come into my mind and things get blurry.
This year I started a self-retrospective and touched most of the subjects you wrote about, I think I'm on the right track. I open a blog last week, started to contribute to open source projects and do some networking. It's hard work but I have some free time and I think it will worth it.
I will use this article as a "TODO" list.
Great, for the first time i see someone talk about branding in this way, you cover the whole thing, everybody is just talking about social media (when it is just a slice of the brand), a brand is just a complex word for relationship, and you build a relationship by doing different things : like being so good at your job, writing a blog, how you talk, personal projects,...it is every big or little action you take with the people or audience who care about your work. not just that maybe actions you took outside your work also! like having an experience on something for example. finally thanks for writing this lorenzo.
Thanks for talking about this. After all these years I've collected a few accomplishments but still I struggle with marketing :)
There's always lots to learn!
I didn't even plan on reading this post entirely, but i'm glad I did! It has gotten me to think about my personal brand, which really escaped my mind. Thanks for the post.
Brilliant!
