You don’t need constant media coverage to build a powerful brand. Sometimes, all it takes is one feature if you know how to stretch it across your branding ecosystem. I remember the first time I landed a press feature following my journey into entrepreneurship. I was excited! I shared it once on LinkedIn and moved...

Your personal brand is not built once. It is built over time through action, experience and growth. And at the core of that growth is one simple principle: lifelong learning. I talk a lot about authenticity, visibility and consistency in personal branding. But one thing that often gets overlooked is how learning fuels it all....

Your personal brand isn’t just a logo, a LinkedIn headline or a few decent posts. It’s an ecosystem. If you’re serious about building real career momentum, not just visibility, then you need more than a profile.
