Whether you are trying to build a bigger business, looking at colleges or scholarships, or aiming for a better job, your personal brand helps you stand out from the crowd by showcasing what makes you unique: your mission or purpose; your skills, talents, and gifts; your personality and passion – your best authentic self and all that you bring to the world.
