Why would you develop a Personal Brand?

'Woo hoo...because I want to be pretty/handsome and fun!' That thinking won't get you anywhere. You have a message to share and defining that message is a key part of developing a strong brand that will attract more valuable clients. 
Start by defining your style, who you are and why you do what you do. A brand by the way isn't a business plan. They have very different purposes. Your personal brand will influence your plan but not visa versa.
Next, get help. There are literally thousands of resources online including how to and what to do articles, apps, videos and more. Look for ideas and questions that will guide you toward discovering, internalizing and communicating your personal brand. 
Hiring a consultant may be the way to go for you. That person will support you, give you advice, keep you on track and provide valuable feedback. A brand doesn't happen overnight. Be patient. 
Are you ready to build your personal brand photo library? A good personal brand photographer will ask you a series of questions and your answers will ensure that you get all of the images you need to create content for a solid month, three months or longer. Let's chat and find out what visuals will best support you, your strategy and your brand.

Don't waste the opportunity or other attendees' time if you aren't going to respect who they and you are. In Part 1  we discussed paying attention in a virtual meeting, dressing professionally, and staying in one place sitting still. The next 3 thoughts address the environmental setting. Backgrounds - Is it as difficult for you as it is for me to concentrate on the person when the background is like a storage facility? OK, that's harsh. But even though not all of us have the luxury of devoting a spiffy space to where we meet it wouldn't hurt to clean up the mess behind. Solution: have your logo, product photos, etc. ( professionally shot if possible ) printed by a retail printer and hang them up behind you. Make sure the photo size is large enough or close enough to your screen that your viewers can appreciate what's behind you. Optional...

3 Bright Ideas For Better Visual Branding During Virtual Meetings

Image
  In the past, I've written a lot about virtual meetings and the visual impact on your brand.  As a  virtual photographer , my eye starts to recognize opportunities for improving how you appear at a virtual meeting.  The tweaks are subtle.   Following are the three next level suggestions for improving your image during a virtual meeting.  💡Color of light.
