Ep 133: Adapting without losing your personal brand
“We will go in and we will look into the business and see how we can translate that in order for your corporate executives to be able to live and breathe the brand.”
“Number one would be what is the product or services that you are selling? And number two, what kind of customers are you targeting.”
“Appearance, behaviour, communication, the ABCs of image. So, there is no point in you dressing up very nicely, but at the end of the day, when you communicate, it doesn't sound professional. The language that you use, your vocals and verbal cues are incongruent with your appearance, that will also affect the whole brand as well.”
