Building a Magic and Magnetic Personal Brand

February 12, 2010 by 1 Comment


On Smart Networking Radio this week I interviewed Career Architect Cindy Yantis who had so much valuable insight to share about:
  • Thumbnail image for CindyYantis.pngWhy EVERYONE needs to have a strong personal brand — whether you’re an employee or entrepreneur
  • How focusing your personal brand around your core values lets you put your own unique stamp on what you do AND gives you a clearer vision and sense of purpose
  • How to take the right actions to support the goals of your brand
  • How to own the room at a networking event or interview
  • And much more!

You’ll want to listen to EVERY minute of this content-packed interview.
You’ll also hear about a great opportunity to work with Cindy on building your own magic brand. If you don’t have all the business referrals or job leads that you can handle, then it’s time to do something about it.
Check out Cindy’s signature program Five Weeks to Building Your Personal Brand which starts next week. It’s already VERY attractively priced for the amount of training you’ll get, but listeners of Smart Networking Radio can take advantage of a generous $50 discount with a special promo code revealed on the show.

Nancy Ancowitz, author of Self-Promotion for Introverts, on Smart Networking Radio (Tuesday, 1/19 7pm ET)

In today’s tough economy and ruthlessly competitive job market, nobody can afford to go unnoticed. Too often, introverts get passed over while their chattier — although not necessarily more gifted — colleagues get the jobs and the promotions.

But it doesn’t have to be that way, according to business communication coach Nancy Ancowitz, author of an excellent new book called Self-Promotion for Introverts. Step-by-step she shows you how to find your voice, jump start your visibility, promote yourself without bragging, and use your introverted preferences to your advantage.
If you’ve ever worried that being an introvert has kept you from getting hired, getting promoted, or getting clients for your business, make Nancy’s book your bible for overcoming obstacles and crafting a plan to get the recognition you deserve.
As an introvert myself, I agree with Nancy that it doesn’t have to be a liability, and in fact, it can be a great asset. So I’m thrilled that on Tuesday, January 19th, she’ll be joining me on Smart Networking Radio to share sage advice to help introverts learn how to succeed with their own style.
She may even spill a few secrets she learned from HR and leadership experts such as uber investor Warren Buffett, basketball star Magic Johnson, Hearst Magazines president Cathie Black, former president Bill Clinton, and marketing guru Seth Godin.

We’ll have the chat room open and you can submit your questions or call in live via phone. See you there!

Date: Tuesday, January 19th
Time: 7pm Eastern

Well, at least these guys do! Robert Gold and Andrew Brown host the weekly BusinessCast Podcast to help entrepreneurs across all industries address their strategic and day-to-day business issues. Broadcasting from Toronto, they’ve interviewed a range of experts covering the gamut of topics from mobile marketing to pricing to customer service.
