In his book “Powerful Personal Brands”, Ben Baker does an amazing job. Ben shares interesting stories of his youth as well as conducts several interviews with thought leaders on building a “Powerful Personal Brand”.
Throughout the book, Ben discusses providing ethical solutions. Ben says solving that problem consistently and better than anyone else while demonstrating a deep understanding for your customer is critical with Building Trust. Additionally, Ben makes an excellent point to not only understand your customer but also gain a clear understanding of your customer’s customer. One particular comment on Building Trust that stood out from one of Ben’s interviews: “Be genuine with your outreach”.
Another takeaway includes focusing on being authentic rather than attempting to define yourself against your competition. As Ben points out, we all have competitors. Therefore, striving to deliver the best products and services results in Building Trust.
Several outstanding quotes from the book include:
“Be the person who does what they say and says what they do”.
“Great leaders make safe space for others to learn how to succeed.”
“Take time to understand how you can help others….then go out and do it.”
“How do you want to be thought of when you are not in the room?”
Ben truly asks compelling questions. Once again, a powerful question that Ben asks in his book:
“Who are the Top Three People You Admire….And Why?”.
This is an excellent question that makes you reflect on individuals who have helped shape the person that you are today.
You will have to buy the book to find out Ben’s top 3 as well as receive the wealth of valuable information that this book delivers. Well done!!

Going deeper into understanding a client's past, present and their values helps to service the client in a better way.
But the topic of personal branding is also a journey of self reflection and Ben's book helps you to do just that; reflect.
If you already have a strong sense of your self, but want to enrich it or validate you're on the right track, Ben's work will help you to confirm if you have a Powerful Personal Brand or one that can be even stronger.
A very easy book to read, fast and packed with insights.
So grateful and will be continuing the conversation to grow my brand.
I knew this would be a good book, but I now want to understand more
