The personal brand has not been guessed for Brand Autopsy #5. Take a stab at it!

Personal branding has come a long way since 1997, when Tom Peter’s wrote “A Brand Called You.” In celebration of the 10th Anniversary of Personal Branding there will be a global telesummit (dial-in conference) with speakers in various fields related to personal branding. Personal branding was just a vision 10 years ago, but now, with the rise of both social media and competition, personal branding is the key to success. The event will be held this thursday, November 8th, and registration details are on the main site (www.personalbrandingsummit.com). The summit is expected to draw more than 100,000 professionals from throughout the world.10th Anniversary of Personal Branding
