In this episode of the Legend Effect Podcast, host Howie Chan is going solo. In a series of short episodes - Solo Sesh (sessions), he is bringing you the best strategies and ideas from scientific studies and the legends among us so you can live your version of legendary.

He delves into  how to build a magnetic personal brand at work, or professional brand, without being self-promotional, fake, or loud. The discussion emphasizes that if you're not shaping your brand intentionally, it's being shaped for you by default, and not always in a way you'd want.

Howie provides a clear definition of what a personal brand at work actually means, a three-step framework to build your brand from wherever you are right now, and real workplace behaviors that make your name carry weight and meaning.

Legendary Quotes:

“ Here's the truth: your professional brand is your career insurance. It's the reason people recommend you promote you or think of you first for the next opportunity.” – Howie Chan

“A professional brand is the story people tell about you at work when you're not there, and that story is shaped by how you show up, what you contribute, and how you make people feel. This is not about becoming famous, it's about becoming findable, trusted, and top of mind.” – Howie Chan

“ So, three things. Own one thing, pick a lane. Match what you say with what you deliver. Be consistent and design micro experiences, help people experience you in the way that you want them to.” – Howie Chan

It’s time to turn up the volume on life, make your mark, and live your legend. 🤘🏽
