451: How to Create, Live, and Sell a Powerful Personal Brand with Dr. Cindy McGovern

My guest today used to live just a few miles away from me in Franklin, Tennessee. She also taught for a time at a well-regarded Nashville university (Belmont). Something I too have done (MTSU).

Her name is Dr. Cindy McGovern. And her newest book just released in September. It’s called Sell Yourself: How to Create, Live, and Sell a Powerful Personal Brand.

She says that, no matter what your role or title is at work, selling is an important part of what you do―whether you’re selling a product, an idea, or a new way of doing things. But, before you can sell any of those things you have to sell yourself.

Creating your own personal brand―and promoting it in all you do―is essential to achieving your professional goals and getting ahead in life.

In the book, you’ll learn about how to apply the most effective selling strategies to your personal brand, and how these strategies can help you create and live a personal brand that will be easy to sell.
