“This is the only book I’ve seen that provides you with a foolproof process for defining and establishing your personal brand in the workplace. Bence’s personal branding system takes you from where you are now to where you want to be. Finally, someone has made personal branding simple!”
—Thomas White, Group Head of Human Resources
Zurich Insurance Group
“I have always thought Branding is about focusing on the essence of a thing — whether for a product, a company, or a country — and then communicating it in a way that truly understands the point of view of the receiver so that what you have to say is relevant and attractive to them. If I have been even partly right all these years, why wouldn’t that apply to YOU — or should I say YOU — as a person, too? It is such a simple yet powerful idea. I wish I had thought of it!”
—Tim Isaac, Vice Chairman-Asia Pacific
Ogilvy & Mather
“Today’s competitive marketplace requires that everyone find their niche — that goes for people, as well as products. The only way to achieve success is to build a trusted relationship that is remembered, and branding is how we stay in the minds of our audience. This book teaches people how to do just that in an extraordinarily friendly and no-nonsense way.”
—Julia Tuthill Mulligan, Managing Director
Global New Ventures, Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company
“As a corporate marketer, Brenda Bence has built successful corporate brands all around the world. Now, she shows you how to make your own personal brand just as successful. Her straightforward approach to personal branding will ensure you stand out from the crowd, no matter what environment you are competing in.”
—Michael Wood, CEO-Greater China
Leo Burnett Worldwide
“I have constantly found that the most effective candidates we interview have a clear definition of who they are, what they want (in both life and career), and where they need to go. Those who craft and communicate their personal brands achieve greater success not only when changing jobs or careers, but importantly when they take on new roles and responsibilities in their current organizations. The powerful personal branding system shared in this bookallows the reader to do just that — achieve success through personal branding. Highly recommended!”
—Charles Moore, Managing Partner
Heidrick & Struggles
