Brand expert, Sonya Barnes of Sonya Barnes International, places great emphasis on the need to develop your personal brand and not be satisfied with your default brand. In this episode, she stresses the need to be consistent with your personal brand standards and the importance of never falling beneath those standards regardless of the environment. Sonya also walks us through the model of personal branding:
- A = Appearance
- B = Behavior
- C = Communication (verbal and non-verbal)
- D = Digital footprint
For those working from home or in hybrid environments, she provides advice on how to remain professionally visible, show value, and advance one's career.
