Power of Personal Brand on Important Stages

Your personal brand can’t hide on stage

This episode’s topic, in a nutshell…

I share what I noticed while watching a huge range of specialists and public figures take to the stage at the Octopus Energy ‘Energy Tech Summit’ in Battersea Park.

And, I reveal why being on stage is such an eye-opening test for the strength of your personal brand.

Highlights

In this episode I unpack:

• Which of the people on stage stood out because they knew their key messages, kept their answers simple and sharp, and stayed connected to the audience.
• What happens when someone loses the thread of the conversation, strays into self-interest or fails to respect the other people sharing the stage.
• Talk about why I think strong opinions and viewpoints are valuable for subject matter experts – while respect for other people’s knowledge and experience matters too.
• Three simple takeaways for strengthening your personal brand when you are on stage.

I hope that what you’ll get from this discussion is a useful reminder that your personal brand is not simply what you say about yourself. It is also what people experience when they encounter you in real life. It takes effort and commitment to decide who you are for yourself and others – and stay true to that, regardless of the situation.

A stage can be a brilliant opportunity to bring more of yourself into the room, demonstrate your knowledge and help people recognise you as the specialist you say you are.

Want to work together?

When I work with clients on their personal brand, we do work on gaining clarity on what your key messages are that you want people to hear you for, and connect to you – while still sounding like yourself.

If you’d like to talk to me about working together on your personal brand strategy – then let’s have a relaxed conversation about it.
