These 9 methods can seem overwhelming at first but you don’t have to do all 9 at once, ideally one of these methods jumped out at you as something you already love to do but never thought of it as a way of telling your story. Embrace your story and test out new methods and ways to connect your story with your community. Storytelling is a powerful weapon but YOU must be the one that owns that story and embraces these new methods being the producer, marketer and director that makes you memorable to your community!
In my recent blog post “Personal Branding 101: Whats Your Story” I discussed the importance of story telling and understanding what your story is before you worry about building a personal brand. To

Comparisonititis = compare yourself to others.
Symptoms include FOMO (fear of missing out) and feelings of inadequacy.
Cost: you live outside of your own story, your strength.
Remedy: #onlyness

YOU OWN your brand! 
 
You Are Responsible for Your Own Brand - #JayToday  

How you treat people is up to you, not up to your circumstances!

I recently had the chance to meet and interview Ron Howard, who is extremely humble and kind. I was a little surprised because of his massive success. But it got me thinking – why wouldn't he be? 

Similarly, I was told several times over the last couple of weeks from conference directors and events coordinators that they were impressed that I was so approachable.

Yes, things are going pretty well in Jay Baer Land, but success doesn't give me the right to be a jerk. And being successful doesn't have to equal being inaccessible.

Why Ello is Not The End of Facebook, and Other Social Media Tales

'Ello' is the name on everyone's cursor tips in the social media world. The new platform is getting a heap of attention for it's non-commercial approach - but can it realistically challenge Facebook or other big players in the market?

In a new piece on +LinkedIn, I look at how new players in the market have gone onto become the next big thing, and how Ello shapes up.

There is a difference between collaborating and someone using you for your information and not valuing your time... I'm trying to balance this right now and this post is spot on! 
No, it's not "do you mind if I eat the last piece of pizza?" Although that's not one of my favorites, either.The question in question, if you will, is "Can I pick your brain?" Or other queries like

Employment
  • Broadsuite
    Chief Digital Officer & Partner, 2014 - present
    At Broadsuite I will be focusing on initiatives that connect paid, owned and earned digital channels through maximizing community involvement and content utilizing social and technology. What exactly does that mean? I’ll be teaching and leading change helping B2B’s, small businesses and technology companies connect, communicate and become active members of their communities both internal with employee advocacy and personal branding and externally utilizing community events such as weekly Google+ hangouts, Twitter Chats and video podcasts. I’ll be helping brands orchestrate content marketing tactics that situate their brands at the moments that matter to their audiences by focusing on creating content and social engagement that provides value while helping customers solve problems where often times earned and owned will trump paid. I’m excited to help brands embrace this change and I know change is scary and slow for many I believe by joining Broadsuite I will have the team and tools necessary to make this happen.
