3 Tried and Tested Power Moves For Your Personal Brand

1. Contribute both online and offline. A great way to get your name out in groups and communities is to tap into other people's networks and get involved in a valuable way through guest commentary, blogs, podcasts, or interviews.
 

In doing this, you:
Showcase your expertise meaningfully for your existing audienceBuild a reputation and a following from a new audience 

2. Public Speaking is networking on steroids, do it. A lot of people get to know you quickly this way and you establish yourself as an industry expert if you are consistently visible.

You can ease your way into public speaking by joining a panel, and you can train and gain some confidence before you hit the stage as a solo speaker.

3. Use LinkedIn wisely. Don't just observe: Connect, contribute, and comment! 

Media communications company CEO (and social media star) Gary Vaynerchuck says in one of his keynote speeches that LinkedIn today is what Facebook was circa 2011. That speaks volumes for what it can do and how much it can accelerate the growth of your Personal Brand, and career.
