“always on, always connected” world will be converting
information into insights; managing time and staying

aging, shrinking workforce in most of the developed
world over the next 50 years, maximizing the productivity
of the workers that are available is critical.

16. Defining Personal Branding
• The opposite of the next big
thing…
• A definition : “Achieving personal
and professional goals by
differentiating yourself and
articulating your unique value
through a consistent message.”
• Is “Branding” simply what we used
to call “personal reputation”?
• It’s how we use technology that’s
evolved
