“who you’re
becoming” as a
person.

12. The future of corporate branding is personal, but….
When representing a brand, personal or corporate, it should
never be about you, it’s always about your customer - even
when it’s about you. People can tell when you’re self serving
and that's not beneficial to your personal or corporate brand.

13. Managing Your Brand Through A Failed Idea
• Stay focused on the positive
• Look for the learning opportunity in the failure and apply what
you've learned
• Take responsibility and don’t blame others
• Make learning from your failures a part of your personal brand - It
makes a good story, humanizes you and your brand, and
underlines future successes
