4 Key Components of Building Personal Brand for a Gentle Business

Do you find personal branding overwhelming? In this episode, I share my approach to personal branding for gentle businesses. I explain why personal branding doesn't have to feel heavy or complicated. Instead, it can be an authentic way to connect with your audience.

You'll learn my four-part framework for creating a personal brand that aligns with who you are and the gentle business you want to build. I also reveal the biggest mistake most entrepreneurs and graphic designers make when it comes to branding (hint: it's about where they start the process).

In this episode you'll learn:

  • Why understanding your core identity is the first step to authentic branding
  • How to connect with your audience by understanding their journey
  • Ways to communicate that feel natural to you
  • Why visuals should support, not lead, your brand strategy
