Developing & Branding Your Personal Competitive Advantage

The foundation of my identity was established before I was eight years old (are all of ours?)  I was polite but argumentative and competitive – started a lawn mowing and snow removal company and created a cartoon family and told the story through books, etc.  Playing sports or games with friends, I gravitated to ‘grown up’ conversations with the adults on our block.  I told people I wanted to be a motivational speaker when I grow up; advertising was interesting and I wanted to help entrepreneurs (I don’t think I knew what that meant at the time).  

Not much has changed – I studied marketing in college and was directed by an insightful mentor to pursue a career as an executive recruiter to, as he put it, acquire a peer group of “grey hairs”.  I found that I love working with business owners and visionaries.  Turns out, I love supporting passionate people in whatever they do to make a significant impact.      

Bringing my experiences and passion together, I built and operate Your Brand, LLC. Your Brand, LLC. helps individuals develop, manage and brand a productive career and business. We unleash your potential with a personal brand, help you answer the "So What" with a great vision. Like a great ad agency, but for people!  Our products are the Strategic Career Plan which is like a business plan for people and Personal Board of Advisors which is an online personal, professional and business development tool for a global community. Watch the short video about Personal Board of Advisors.

My direct and supportive leadership style has been captured in the company, its tools and events. I am fortunate to have passionate and focused partners contributing detailed attention to the Personal Board of Advisors product.
