You are the face of your company. You set the tone, mission and vision for the entire organization. Today, personal and professional lives are merging, so as business and personal branding. Personal branding continues even after your engagement with a company ends. So, connecting with your followers ensures they travel with you.

Branding coaches usually work on defining personal brand that address how to engage internal employees and external audiences. But it is challenging to continue branding efforts on a regular basis. For example, when your team went through a management training, the trainer leaves behind a process and/or a tool in order to continue the efforts. So, why don’t executive coaches leave behind a process or a tool for sustaining branding!

Your followers sign up to consume your content — want to know you better, your interests and initiatives. So, Content should be a combination of these topics.
