Our personal brand is a powerful business tool to establish trust, credibility, and belonging in a world where face-to-face is not always an option. Cher Jones specializes in personal branding for the hybrid workplace, and she joined us on this episode of the Campfire Circle to tell us all about it!
Her mission is teaching leaders who love their jobs and the companies they work for how to develop a strategic personal brand so they can take charge of their own success at work.
Join us in The Campfire Circle as Cher walks us through the mindset of showing up online, leveraging social media for work, and achieving a socially active presence.
“I need to let people know what I'm good at, so they can use me more in those situations where I can add the best value. But there’s a lot of unpacking, rewiring, and giving yourself the language to feel good about … actually owning that [expertise].” - Cher Jones

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
