Professional Branding (Ew!)

Laura and Amy discuss the really unpleasant topic of "professional branding" (ew!), and try to make a bit more palatable and relevant.

As awful as it sounds, putting a bit of effort into how you show up in the world and tell your story can be beneficial for a job search, career development, networking, and professional opportunities.

And don't worry, it doesn't mean you need to become a Thoughtfluencer TM with a massive following!
