Let's Nail Your
PERSONAL BRAND!
This course is for ambitious people who are ready to take their career to the next level. How? By establishing their identity, their Personal Brand.
Ever notice how some people introduce themselves with confidence? Wouldn’t you love to be that person who knows exactly what to say, whether it’s in a meeting, during small talk at a cocktail party, or when you're "on stage"?
YOU can be that person.
In this course, you will:
- Learn the "strategic principles" of Personal Branding (context, definitions, and examples - what you need to know!)
- Be guided step-by-step through a sequence of critical inputs to your Personal Brand.
- Learn to articulate the things that make you unique - your superpowers.
- BONUS: You will learn a framework to introduce yourself in any context.
- ...and more!

Testimonials
“Previously I had a hard time finding my authentic voice. Developing my Personal Brand with Andrea has been transformational. We went deep, into the early experiences that shaped me, my values, what I will fight for, what I am against. The exercises were imaginative and fun but also highly effective! The process Andrea created unlocked my confidence to share who I am, what I care about and how I can help clients. I highly recommend Andrea for anyone who wants to nail their personal brand and learn how to communicate it to the world.”
Lindsey, agency partner & entrepreneur
“Andrea's Personal Branding content is incredibly empowering, teaching you to identify and embrace your uniqueness whilst learning how to harness these attributes as your own personal super power. The stuff they don't teach you as you're climbing up the corporate ladder. Andrea is highly motivating and engaging.”
Lorna, global chief of staff, big 4 audit firm

Marc, president, research firm

FAQs - Frequently Asked Qs
Q: How long does the course take? Are there set dates & times for this course?
A: This course is SELF-PACED and you can access it for one year from the date you register for the course. So you can start whenever you like and run through the curriculum as quickly or as slowly as you like.
Each "Step" should take you 1-2 hours of focused time to complete. That includes watching the video, writing, thinking, and taking the quiz. Of course, you can always spend more time on each step, and you can even go back and repeat a step.
Looking for more guidance in terms of timing? We suggest you take 2-7 days for each of the five steps, to truly internalize each of the inputs to your Personal Brand. So that’s a total of between 10 days up to 6 weeks. Again - it’s up to you!
Q: Why should I focus on my Personal Brand?
A: People with a strong personal identity feel an elevated sense of confidence in everything they do, from day-to-day interactions to important presentations. Once you've articulated your Personal Brand, you'll also have more control over your narrative - starting with how you introduce yourself! You'll also have more insight to reference when you're making career and other important decisions. When you learn to articulate your Personal Brand, you can lean-in to your superpowers!
