While personal branding is important for anyone looking for a job or selling online, it is doubly-important for talent leaders.

Why?

Because as the leader, you are the face of your entire function. A function that leadership often overlooks or is actively squeezing to keep costs down.

So when your own brand is strong, the function’s brand is strong.

Which means that in many ways, investing in your personal brand is a way to make sure your team has the support they need to thrive.
