Personal branding for on-the-move professionals in global companies in Japan
2102 was a great year of blogging with 134 posts on my blog. I wish I could say I wrote all of these, but 62 were blogs or vlogs from guest contributors. The best part was seeing the traffic and social shares generated from many of these posts.
So, according to my Google Analytics (and some other top-secret social sharing formula), here are the top 10 blog posts of 2012. Enjoy, share, and of course let me know what you think. [Read more...]
Get the picture?
Let me make something clear. In no way am I advocating loafing around, living on someone’s couch, and mooching off of family and friends. Nor am I suggesting to just quit your job, abandon family responsibility, and frivolously spend your life savings. Neither of these are cool. [Read more...]

Wearing all the hats at once and looking good while you do it isn’t as easy most people think. But you already know that.
Solopreneurs and freelancers are a special breed. Most of us struggle initially with how to build a viable business and manage it once we have one.
Your marketing hat is probably one of those that you find a little challenging. Or, maybe not! Either way, wouldn’t you like to know how your efforts compare to the rest of the indie biz folks out there? We would, too!
Word Chef is partnering with Believe. Become. Be Your Brand and several other curious folks to find out what solo professionals like you are doing (in terms of online marketing) and how well it’s working for you.
We’re looking to create some real benchmarks and share that information with those who’re affected by the challenges of marketing a micro business. [Read more...]
I am excited to launch my 30x30x30 Personal Branding Blogathon in June – 30 days x 30 thought leaders x 30 amazing posts! Over the next couple weeks I will introduce you to these 30 amazing people. Visit their sites before the blogathon and then make sure to come back every day in June.
Last August I launched my own blog and have enjoyed posting my own thoughts, insights, and ideas about personal branding. I have even branched out into video posts with my Personal Branding with a Spin series and my recent Personal Branding ‘Mechanic’ Interview series.
I have also connected with and learned from so many thought-leaders in personal branding, marketing, social media, leadership, blogging, coaching, you name it. After seeing Todd Nielsen launch a blogathon earlier this year on his own blog A Slice of Leadership, I decided to do one myself and share with you a small handful of thought leaders who have inspired me (including Todd!) Thanks Todd for the inspiration!
