My request to you, the reader, is-make this book part of your life. Don't just read this book for its interesting content. Don't be content with a few aha moments. Make it part of your life planning-and ultimately part of your life! If you do, you can become a more integrated and successful person-and better enable your company to help you make a positive difference in our world! - From the Foreword by Marshall Goldsmith Author of What Got You Here Won't Get You There Hubert Rampersad has a knack for preparing comprehensive frameworks for analyzing important issues. . . . The four stage model that he suggests proposes an explicit way to turn a desired external identity into something concrete and actionable. . . . It's a wonderful step by step approach to making a desired brand explicit. . . . The mental models and their related investigative questions will help you know where you are today so you can get to where you want to be tomorrow. . . . This book offers an architecture to turn these ideas into action. -From the Afterword by Dave Ulrich Professor of Business, University of Michigan This book offers a new way to define, formulate and implement a sustainable, powerful, authentic, consistent, and memorable personal brand identity. Authentic Personal Branding entails a systematic and integrated journey towards self-awareness, joy, happiness, and marketing success, which is based on several new models, guidelines and tools that have been proven in practice. A way of life in conformity with this system results in flow; which is a journey into the inner self, where your genius, values, hopes, dreams and aspirations lie quietly waiting to be discovered. Taking the journey as an individual allows you to view your life objectively and authentically and provides a roadmap of your genius, dreams and aspirations translated into manageable and measurable milestones and improvement actions.
