Power your brand, build your success, and be a part of history on November 8!

The blogosphere is humming, the press is talking, and even the New York Times mentioned the first Brand You World Global Telesummit -- 24 hours of absolutely NO COST career-enhancing presentations from the world’s leading authors on personal branding for business and career acceleration and success.

You don’t want to miss this groundbreaking event commemorating the 10th anniversary of Tom Peters’ seminal article “The Brand Called You.” You’ll hear what’s new in branding today -- and how to leverage it for success -- from more than 40 expert speakers, authors, and panelists addressing topics critical to job seekers, career activists, students, talent managers, and entrepreneurs.

Every speaker, sponsor, and event organizer has gifted their time and resources to you, so don’t waste the opportunity to invest your time in learning from the best – and as there is no cost, time is all that you’ll spend!

In addition, we invite you to “do well by doing good” by supporting the telesummit’s social cause partner, Kiva. Kiva coordinates the delivery of micro-loans to “everyday entrepreneurs” in some of the world’s most needy areas. When you make a loan, you can choose to be repaid, or to reinvest in another entrepreneur. And loans can be as minimal as $25.   

Start times on November 8th span the globe --  7am in Los Angeles, 10am in New York, 3pm in London, 4pm in Paris, and 10pm in China, Hong Kong, and Singapore. You can access all presentations after the event as well, so no need to give up a day to listen in, or lose an opportunity to hear your favorite session if a call-in line is full.

Register at the Brand You World event website to get your call-in number (all that's required is name and e-mail). While you're there be sure to check out the schedule, see which sessions interest you, and mark your calendar. And remember to check back after the event for recordings of all the sessions.

Prepare to accelerate your success!

I love the idea of personal branding. It's a step in the right direction-freedom. Sadly, it often leads to what I call "near freedom." A state where the slave feels better about his or her absent independence.

I am a huge fan of those who find the elusive place of freedom...a place found inside and outside of Corporate America. It's a place where a person is truly allegiant to their values.

Often we fool ourselves into believing that compromising what's most important is ok when our career demands it. But the price we must pay is too high...compromise nearly always asks this.

I came out of Corporate America nearly dead. And believe me the organization would have been more than happy to see me die. The death I speak of is the one where you pretend that career, position, power, money and prestige define you. Thankfully, God got a hold of me and opened my eyes. In short, I woke up and lived to tell.

Hi Eric!

What an insightful post -- thanks for your perspective. I've found, as a personal brand strategist, that my clients who fully engage in branding have one of three results because of the personal clarity they find and project about who they are, what's important to them, and how that delivers value.

They either become more comfortable and effective in their current environment, find themselves compelled to look for another job that is a better fit, or within a year they completely redefine their work in a new career or by going independent. I always ask my clients if they have the courage to go through the personal brand discovery process because it always, always leads to change.

Looks like you've experienced a tough ride with a good outcome. Congratulations, and thanks for posting, Eric!
