Personal Branding Weekly – 13 May 2013

Celebrations often take an entire weekend to travel to and from so the following Monday you sometimes feel more tired that going into the weekend.  Here’s your chance to rejuvenate and focus your week into productivity in your career and your work on your personal brand.

Here’s what our authors covered:

This week we welcome Kevin Monahan to our author team.

As you kick off your week, I hope my podcast about the 5 Daily Gratitudes will help you focus!

Gratefully, our authors cover and provide some great insights this coming week, too. Henrieta covers what can be gained by multi-tasking; Nance covers the end of paradigm; Ken explores if where you went to college matter to your career; Elinor covers the shift from losing to acquiring clients; while Heather shared how you can really create a portfolio that stands out.

Stay tuned!
