Kamikaze:
I would recommend you to read the post one more time and try to understand what I mean by it.

Please read the response to Pia as well.

To give you an example of someone that has changed their brand, look at Michael Jordan. His determination and actions during many years made him who he is today. Do you think he would have had the personal brand that he has without his actions?

I totally disagree with the concept of “have no personality”. We are born with some th basic characters and personality that has inherited from our parents through our genes. But it is true that environment and society will shape us. The other point I disagree is “Just as you can change career, you can change who you are”. It contradicts with the basic concept of branding of being consistent. Changing career might change what we will be but not who we are. I do not think it is practical concept.

Regarding to the Personal Brand concept, I believe is just a way to control the impression people will have about us, as Rynge said “you dont choose to have a personal brand,everyone has one”, the personal brand is just a name given to something that naturally happened, but the awarenes of the concept able us to control this image, besides, when creating a personal brand you don´t have to lie, or made up things, you just have to highlight you skills, achievments, lets say..everything positive of your character, and when I say creating a Personal Brand( it may look like, mading up) but the “creation” is just the process to analyse wich of your characteristics will be highlighted. By the way,I´m probably making the same assignment as Pia and this blog is part of our Personal Brand process.

Great post! I certainly believe you are absolutely right. I’ve personally “reinvented” myself a couple of times and… yes, it works!!! Sure, it’s a bit like creating a character in a novel, you decide on styling, “tics” and positioning, including such things as ambitions and dreams.
Right now I’m in the middle of deciding my new “brand” for the next decade… Quite exciting because you do not only create a new “you” but also a lot of new possibilities…

When you say what you do makes you who you are, do you mean someone’s occupation or do you mean in general, because if you meant your occupation makes you who you are, I disagree, a number of things can determine who you are, and having one brand because of your occupation limits your attributes.

therefore i agree with Pia.

I think nobody is just born with a personality. Our personalities always depend on the enviroment we are in, and the culture we have and were brought up with.
We all have personalities and even
‘ Not having a personality ‘ is a type of personality itself !

i always thought about that. i think personality is something developed naturally with us while growing up and last with us. in contrast, personal brand is something you develope in according to our desire and can be changed or altered as we wish.
