Petty Branding: Lessons from a Leadership Misstep

Branding Room Only with Paula T. Edgar

Sometimes you slip up and don’t show up in the way you want. Consistently showing up in excellence is a bedrock of my personal brand and one of the things I pride myself on. But when a new leader arrived within an organization I was collaborating with, for a variety of reasons, my behavior didn’t show my brand in the best light. After reflecting on what happened, I want to share some key takeaways that can help you strive to do better if you find yourself in a similar situation.

In this episode, which is part 2 of the 3 part series of the Branding Room Only podcast, you’ll hear a little about my experience and the impactful lessons I learned from it (Listen to Part 1 here). I’ll reveal how you can reflect the brand you want to present to the world by comparing what I did with what I should have done.

1:15 - How petty new leadership turned an organization (and the way I usually present myself) on its head

3:40 - Key things that can impact how you show up professionally

6:36 - How I showed up versus how I should have shown up

9:08 - Quick summary of lessons learned and a sneak peek at part three of the series
