Personal branding is often underestimated or shied away from by small business owners. For some it might feel like 'shameless self-promotion'. For others, the idea of a personal brand may not have even crossed your mind. 

However, as Personal Branding Specialist; Emma Lovell points out, the fact is, we all have a personal brand whether we like it or not. People have an opinion and a perception of who we are and what role we play in our business. So the question really is, do you control this narrative and pro-actively ensure that your personal brand is what it should be? Or, do you just leave it to chance?

Through her business Lovelly Communications; Emma helps small business owners to better communicate their message and their mission to have a greater impact, reach more people and really make a difference in the world. She's passionate, professional and 'Lovelly'. Emma believes that each of us has a unique personal brand and by understanding how to share it, you can gain greater clarity, confidence and connections in work and life.

In this episode, Emma explains how creating a personal brand can amplify (or detract from) your business opportunities.
