I prefer the word reputation. I see some of the personal branding writings as a need to get to the top of the ladder. That’s a little too male hierarchy thinking for me. I just work on building a good work reputation and extend that to networking with people I feel have respect for my work and I can learn from or share with. A group of us connect when someone is looking for work to help them think about it. That kind of authentic relationship is what helped me most when I was offered the job I have now. With some spirituality in there I guess that’s how I see my personal branding.

One of my mentors would talk about the goals, values, communication style, being authentic etc in building a reputation. It’s worked so far for me.
