It is a good idea of thinking personal branding. Actually, people lived in past also have their ideas to promote themselves but we still need to find something more efficent in the digital world which may will make it eaiser or more difficult.

Really useful course! I thought I knew a lot about personal branding, and was intending to use this as a 'refresher' to make sure i'm on track. However, I have genuinely learned new skills and tips/tricks for creating a better personal brand.

This course has really been helpful and made you think quite a bit about what you are doing and why you wanted to do that in the first place. I would recommend this course especially for entrepreneurs just starting out their business.

A strong personal brand is cohesive, clear, consistent and aims to serve a specific audience. A personal brand is important for an entrepreneur because it's the best way to share your authentic message and attract YOUR specific tribe!

The faculty is great at teaching. Not only has she made the course topics easy-to-understand but made learning fun. It would have been better if the topic "Reputation Management" was given more time. Otherwise, it's a great learning.

Very well done! The holistic approach to personal branding, from your profile picture, to your mission statement, to even the password you use, has given a clear picture on how to utilize the web to promote and maintain your brand.

Well thought out and on point. Lot of things we forget to think about the small things. Very well rounded off as an introduction. Somethings we already know but some are like an eye opener. I loved the links provided. Excellent! :)

I'll just avoid being a "spoiler", by that I mean telling you what to expect and details, I'll just say, it's worth the time and you don't want to not know the information in this course, simple and sophisticated at the same time.

While I knew some of what was discussed in this course (but never quite knew how to articulate), I found Introduction to Personal Branding to be very enlightening and beneficial as I continue to build my brand. Highly recommend!

I really enjoyed it and think Kimberley presents the course in a fun way. It was basic but I still learned some things that I was not aware off or had never thought of. I hope she will continue with a more advanced on branding.
