Does the effort you put into “selling your personal brand” have the payoff you expect. I have had mixed success over the years with wins in like cultures, but less than desired results in different cultures. What is your brand and your experience?

An interesting question and I look forward to the responses. I see my brand as the seasoned guide who helps find the path through uncharted territory but suspect the perception is more of a guy who gets things done.

My personal brand can be described as "Helping others do their work more effectively." I believe his is how I'm perceived by those with whom I work.

George -

Depends on what your career path and role is.

Some folks have to sell their brand explicitly to differentiate themselves - lawyers and real estate agents come to mind. Others can have their network of advocates promote their brand for them - I'd like to think that PMs fall into this category.

I agree that your “advocate network” is the preferred catalyst, but I would add, that the network wouldn’t exist unless you had already had some degree of success in marketing and substantiating your brand.

I also agree that your career path and role is the primary pivot in determining your approach; and I would add the “environment” as your secondary consideration as you would not use the same technique in a disparate multicultural enterprise as you would use in one that is non-diverse and centrally located.

I believe that my team members have a perception that I'm a problem solver and a go-to person for fixing issues. So, my brand could be described as a collaborative problem solver.
