077: What is PERSONAL BRANDING and can it improve my career prospects?

Personal branding... Is this a concept that you have come across or is it completely new to you? Whether familiar or not - if you are someone who is on your career journey and will likely need to positively stand out in a competitive marketplace... this is a great time to lean (further) into the world of personal branding.  This episode of the Dive Into Your Career is an introduction to personal branding and highlights how understanding and implementing this concept can be beneficial for your career development. I also share a few examples, off the top of my head of people whose in person and / or online presence includes a strong personal brand that they are likely to attract opportunities as well as be in a good position to be competitive in what they may seek. When it comes to you... how do you stand out in a crowd in relation to your employment prospects or entrepreneurial endeavours?
