Personal Branding Blog Weekly – 15 April 2013

One way to make managing your personal brand less taxing is to learn from other people’s experience.

For example, Aaron McDaniel’s article titled “Are You Scared of Your Boss” provided a valuable tip about “asking for clarity”.

If you’ve been focused on other things (like your taxes), then take a look at all the great highlights from last week:

This next week Jeff shares with us how to deal with every day obstacles; Nance reveals why we need a sponsor more than a mentor; Roger covers an important key to building your personal brand which is simplifying your message and Michael really delves into tips to do well at lunch and dinner interviews.

This week’s Buzz2Bucks Bootstrapping Podcast covers Facebook’s Edgerank Formula and Why It Matters to Your Brand.

We look forward to your comments and feedback!

Behavioral scientists found that people who write about their thoughts before a difficult conversation don’t just feel more confident — they’re measurably less likely to say things they later regret, because the writing settles the self before the self has to perform
