Thoughts on personal branding and personality

By Delfina Morganti Hernández✍️

“You have to become somebody else to create your own brand and stand out.” Ouch.

"Hey, look! I’m great. Be like me, I rock.” Nope, that’s not a #brand, that’s just a self-centred someone trying to gain your attention.

You don’t have to sound like them.

.Being different (from what/whom?) is in vogue.

The less you look and sound like the person next to you, the more striking you'll be to the eyes of passers-by, so seize the moment!

The time has come to stop hiding and give free reign to the idea of being that which your family, your teachers, your class-mates may have feared you could be: yourself.

That’s personal branding: your inimitable style despite those trying to steal your content.

It’s the trace you leave in everything you do and say.

It’s being consistent with yourself.

It’s finding that which makes you memorable to others that you do without thinking, by just being you.

So no, you don’t have to be an impostor.

We the people love genuine #brands, brands who dare to be authentic will win our hearts.

#Branding is the 21st century’s massive call for you to be yourself.

Who am I to say this? Well, I’m myself.

Thanks for reading this very me-like blog. Hope it’s inspired you to post like yourself.
