You are such a source of good information, Kathy! Thank you. I probably do have a brand of sorts, but it's not conscious, not deliberate, and, since I'm changing careers, not adequate for my intended direction. Thinking I need to read that book. Any others that might serve me well? It is a new idea to me, and absolutely one I need to learn more about. You are such a source of good information, Kathy! Thank you.

This isn't something I've felt much enthusiasm for, but I understand its importance all the same, so I need to shift my perspective on it, I think. This is giving me a lot to think about - thank you!

Thank you for the links to additional resources! While I think I peripherally knew the concept, Steve's article sort of hit me over the head with it. I also got Cathie Black's book for Christmas so I am starting to read that. I am excited to learn from these masters (yeah you get tossed into that category too!) as I try out some of these concepts. I tend to be very work-a-holic so the hard part for me is the turning off and having a life. That pesky balance! That said, I have spent little time branding myself. I have my little fledgling blog that is still trying to 'find itself' but have been, well, too chicken to do much more than that! How do you get over the 'shy' aspect when it comes to using your REAL NAME in public forums? I am getting better, but I find that my natural shyness holds me back more times than not - even though I am constantly trying to push through it and people don’t believe that I am shy!!!
