Be sure you take a moment and read Peter’s post about Debunking Personal Brand Cultural Myths and the myth that so many believe – “Only executive and managers need a personal brand”.  Please weigh in – is this something you believe? Or someone close to you?

The insightful contributing authors covered these topics and much more. See what you might have missed and be sure to weigh in with your comments.  Agree or disagree – we want to hear from you!
