Show Highlights:















Personal branding is the idea of stepping out into the proverbial world and saying I’m an expert at what I do. @chrisdessiA limiting factor for me was that the only people who knew I was good at my job were my clients and my boss. @chrisdessi







For me, the first step in personal branding was to create a blog. @chrisdessiWhen executives of an organization are building their personal brand properly, it can only amplify the organization. @chrisdessiPersonal brand building is about appropriate content with a strategy and definite focus on achieving something. @chrisdessiCompanies are afraid of personal branding because they don’t want to be out-shown by their executives. @chrisdessiIt is our jobs as the head of an organization to make sure we are giving our employees the tools, infrastructure and systems so they don’t leave. @chrisdessiWe all have something important to share with the world. @chrisdessi
