Why Personal Branding Matters Now More Than Ever – And How You Can Get Started
In today’s fast-paced world, it’s harder than ever to stand out. With constant noise from all corners, how do you ensure that your message cuts through? Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a social impact leader, or a professional aiming to make a bigger difference, your personal brand can be the key to unlocking opportunities and meaningful connections.
That’s where the Personal Brand Challenge comes in. Co-hosted by myself, Wanjiru Gathanga, alongside expert Brand Strategist Maja Grcic, we offer a unique 6-week live online programme designed to help you craft a professional profile that reflects your values and attracts the right people. Our next cohort is coming up in 2025, and we want you to be part of it.
“Your personal brand is what people say about you when you are not in the room.”

Why Personal Branding?
Personal branding isn’t just about having a snazzy profile picture or posting catchy updates on LinkedIn. It’s about presenting who you are and what you do in a way that resonates with your audience, enabling them to understand the value you bring. It’s about building trust, creating clarity, and positioning yourself as someone worth noticing in a crowded field.
Crafting a strong personal brand not only sets you apart
By focusing on your personal brand, you’ll:
-
Clarify your mission
What do you stand for? What problems are you solving? -
Connect with the right people
Whether it’s potential clients, collaborators, or employers, your personal brand helps you attract those who share your values. -
Expand your opportunities
As your profile gains visibility, so do your chances of securing the partnerships and projects you deserve.
The Personal Brand Challenge: A Roadmap to Success
We’ve seen it time and again: people with incredible talents and ideas struggle to communicate what makes them special. Our Personal Brand Challenge is designed to help you articulate your value with confidence, authenticity, and purpose.
Over the course of six weeks, you’ll participate in four comprehensive modules, each packed with practical assignments, live sessions, and expert guidance:
Session 1: Doing the Inner Work – This session sets the foundation, helping you uncover the values and motivations that drive your work.
Session 2: Defining Your Professional Identity – Learn how to pinpoint exactly what you want to be known for and how to make your message clear and compelling.
Session 3: Understanding Your Audience – Get to the heart of your customers’ needs and ensure your personal brand is aligned with what they value.
Session 4: Binging Your Story to Life – With your personal brand story crafted, it’s time to get visible – particularly on LinkedIn, where so many professional relationships begin.
You’ll also benefit from an accountability Session 5: 10 weeks after the challenge ends, ensuring you stay on track and implement what you’ve learned.
Why Now Is the Time
The truth is, if you’re not actively shaping your personal brand, you’re missing out. In a world that values authenticity and connection, standing out isn’t about shouting louder – it’s about being clear, genuine, and strategic. By participating in the Personal Brand Challenge, you’re taking a significant step towards a more impactful and fulfilling career.
