Defining and designing your personal branding is incredibly strategic and intentional.

Your personal history or back story often gives us an insight to the direction and purpose of your brand. My purpose is to assist people discover and determine their purpose, premium price themselves and position their personal brand as the authority in their field. I was recently asked in an interview What lead me down the path to personal branding? People are curious creatures. People often ask me how I got into this business and like you I have had unique life experiences that ensure I am perfectly prepared for this role. Because we have so many new subscribers and its relevant to our message today, its timely to introduce myself properly to you and share some of my own back story. For those of you who know me, I appreciate your generosity and patience. I recently spoke in Las Vegas at the Ultimate Joint Venture Boot Camp were Jump the Q launched the Brand Yourself Action Plan to the US market. I shared the stage with some of the worlds best speakers and our Brand Yourself Action Plan was such a hit that we out performed two thirds of the speakers in sales and as such now have an incredible US client base. We made a splash in the USA with an immediate invitation to be a guest on the Voice America - Money Answers Radio Show hosted by Jordon E Goodman. Jordon is the author of a dozen best sellers on personal finance and debt management as well as a regular guest on CNN and The View to name a few. For the past 8 years I have owned and managed Jump the Q, a Personal Brand consulting firm with offices in Brisbane and as well as in Las Vegas, USA. My business takes me around the world affording me a luxurious lifestyle most people only dream about. I have just returned to Australia after renting a condo for 4 months at the Stratton Mountain Ski Village, in Vermont (New England) for the winter season. Stratton Mountain is the winter play ground of the super wealthy from New York and Boston. We caught a live taping of Jay Leno in Hollywood. Lived large in Vegas. We stayed at the Waldorf Astoria, in NYC while Brad, Angelina and family stayed also and did their Christmas shopping, before jumping on a Cruise to the Bahamas; before heading north to our winter wonderland. I regularly get the opportunity to speak at events and conferences on personal branding, professional image, and developing your signature brand, both in the US and Australia. While in the US we also launched the book;Brand Yourself! on Amazon. Read more about the book at http://www.brandyourselfbook.com . See our VIP Special Offer below. I became fascinated by the psychology of human behavior, branding and the importance of strategic image management in negotiations, when working for over a decade as an Industrial Relations Advocate, represented employers in disputes, wages claims, enterprise bargaining negotiations, unfair dismissal cases and discrimination claims before the Australian Industrial Relations courts and commissions. My role was incredibly dynamic and strategic in nature. I loved it. Having appeared in some of the largest dispute proceedings in Australia, I was responsible for some enormous negotiations, representing hundreds of businesses and their strategic and financial outcomes. I also became one of the youngest and highest paid IR Managers in Australia. But I had discovered my true passion and purpose. I went on to study image management, branding and the psychology of color and buying behavior. I am now considered Australia’s leading Personal Branding Strategist. And I am regularly tagged as the Authority; on Personal Branding. I have appeared on the Today show and various radio programs and therefore regularly quoted in the media and press as the expert. But you’ll generally see me behind the scenes ensuring my clients are centre stage. A lot of people ask me do I work with celebrities, and while I work with media personalities, my objective is to make each of my clients a celebrity within their own field. To build their professional profile sufficiently that they become the go to person in their industry for media comment and industry leadership. Shouldn't that be you? I have two burning goals at the moment and as such need your help. One is to become an International Best Seller. When you take action we reward you.
