Building your own brand outside work

Building your personal brand is so important—something I wish I’d realised earlier, both in and outside of work.
It’s a long game, but your brand evolves as you grow and develop more interest in a specific area.
Best advice for anyone is just START. You'll figure it out as you go.
And the easiest way to begin is by refining your LinkedIn and portfolio—that’s the tangible stuff.
But if you want to go deeper, try running a personal brand sprint. This guide is a great place to start: The Three-Hour Brand Sprint.
