It's about being your authentic self, telling your stories, sharing your journey and making it relevant, educational, entertaining or inspirational to your audience. Don't overthink it.When I started building my personal brand (which wasn't that long ago), crazy things started to happen. Opportunities. I think that the future is personal branding. Especially personal branding for lawyers. People buy from people at the end of the day.
