WELCOME
Welcome to the Personal Branding Toolbox, another in the series of resources for career success from Beyond B-School.

Personal branding has become increasingly important to compete in the job market. Your personal brand is the foundation for communicating the potential value you bring to an employer – articulately, engagingly and with impact. The Toolbox contains resources – videos, tip sheets, worksheets, checklists and templates – all with the purpose of assisting you to take action necessary to strengthen your personal brand.

The Toolbox is organized in four sections:
  • Overview: Advance Your Career with a strong Personal Brand, your unique promise of value
  • Know Yourself from Assessments: Bring insight, focus and authenticity to your personal brand by knowing yourself better
  • Know Your Value: Create a compelling presentation of yourself as you develop and build your brand
  • Pitch Yourself: Communicate with Your Audience
The leading advisor on the Toolbox content is Paula Asinof, Principal and Founder of Yellow Brick Path (www.yellowbrickpath.com). She is a Wharton MBA whose career has spanned Finance, Information Technology, Executive Recruiting and Executive Career Coaching. In addition, other experts on personal branding have made contributions.

Enjoy your journey as you develop your personal brand and use it to enhance your career success.
