Why You Need to Take Control of Your Personal Brand

Each of us has a personal brand whether we cultivate it or not.
People are talking about us, making assumptions and looking us up online.
They're reviewing our background, credentials and interactions. All these elements shape our personal brand.
Here are some tips to take control of your personal brand in today's digital world:
1. Optimize Your LinkedIn Profile: Make sure your LinkedIn profile reflects your professional identity. Include a strong headline, background image, summary and showcase your achievements.
