No one wants to hear about how great and wonderful you are. They want to see it. If others recognize this, that's what's important. I have recently found a site personavita.com where essentially you create your brand, have all your work on the site and then have it validated by others. Its a great checks and balance system because people know what you did and did not contribute to various projects and thus can praise you, or not. </p> All the bullet points are spot on, especially the one about having others sing your praises.

But that's still great advice. I guess it amounts to doing things, doing them well and being seen to do them. But that’s still great advice.

You added "Be Authentic," and Lisa wrote, "Personal brands are rooted in your ability to be authentic." I wouldn't normally point out something like this, but the idea of being authentic and sincere is central to Lisa's thesis here. @Shama – I don’t mean to pick on you… but did you read the post?
