social is the new
1. Brand yourself,
business
then LOOK the part


20

Like it or not, we all have a personal ___
______ brand.
Purposeful or accidental, decided by you, or
decided by the people around you...

21

In networking,
your brand is
most readily
conveyed by
what you wear
(& how you
wear it). Make
sure it’s aligned
with your brand!

22

By the way...
that doesn’t
mean BORING.
In fact, having
some “flair”
will make you
memorable AND
approachable.

23

Be careful not
to send the
wrong message...

Not sure about
your “brand”?

Dig deep... really
think about WHO
you ARE and
WHAT you WANT
out of life.

Michelle Villalobos Check out the email i just got!! Ay
yay yay... "Michelle:I think you are extremely feminist.
That's not right. You have to be " Equal ". Men and
Women are the same. But with women like you, we will
only see broken families and divorced couples
because of your absurd feminism, there is no men who
are going to stand women like you.I am one of
them.Sincerely;Luis Lopez."
