Everyone's Talking About Branding!

 

BUT…no one covers how to identify and refine a personal brand like Virginia Russell does in her book: Stand Out! A Woman’s Guide to Creating Your Brand for Today’s Job Market. Personal branding is especially important today because of competition for jobs due to global competition, AI, remote work and the “gig” economy, the trend towards hiring workers for part-time or short term gigs rather than full-time employment.

Ms. Russell, a successful professional career transition and career management coach for women, lays out a practical step-by-step approach to personal branding and job searching that addresses specific issues women face in today’s rapidly shifting job market. The book is geared to women who are: 

  • Unfulfilled in a present career
  • Re-entering the job market after a hiatus
  • In transition due to a job loss
  • Looking for a first professional role

The book provides fun and easy exercises and worksheets to help the reader revisit her original career dreams, uncover her values, identify her personal mission and vision, verify her strengths and skills, transform her obstacles, and develop a practical action plan to reach her career goals.

Ms. Russell has substantial career coaching and training credentials, having worked in the past with high profile clients including the New York Stock Exchange, JPMorgan Chase, NY Weill Cornell Medical Center, The American Cancer Society plus a number of other financial firms, major law firms, and non-profits. Ms. Russell is also the author of the Careers Don’t Just Happen and 7 Critical Relationships That Make or Break a Woman’s Career training and coaching programs.

Her knowledge of coaching women on what it takes to stand out came early and first hand, having grown up in a children’s home from the ages of 5 to 18 with over 200 other children, where it was difficult to stand out. Her struggle to figure everything out on her own motivated her to pursue a career helping other women achieve their goals. Ms. Russell gives the reader tried, tested and true advice from her own as well as other women’s career experiences. 

"Stand Out: A Woman’s Guide to Creating Your Brand for Today’s Job Market saves readers thousands of dollars that professional firms would charge for branding. This is not-just-a book; it is an entire program within a book!" - Isabelle Wedemeyer, Journalist, formerly NY Times.
