Remember that whatever you do people will always be watching so when branding yourself make sure to always act as if everyone is watching.

I have a friend who is a structural engineer and works with a consultin structural firm. The official culture is to dress like an Engineer to office: jeans and shirt. But I counseled him against that by telling him to dress corporately to the office and carry site wears(jeans) to office. I told him to wear jeans only to their sites and dress properly in office. This pay off.When the company wanted to move some engineers to management position he was the choice because they thought he could represent them better. so I ask, what do you mean fressing the part?

I view a "brand" as something much more substantive (whether it's a personal or corporate brand). A brand is a promise you deliver. In fact, Wikipedia says: "Brand recognition and other reactions are created by the accumulation of experiences with the specific product or service.... A brand is a symbolic embodiment of all the information connected to a company, product or service." Defined as such, personal branding matters. It is inseparable from reputation. A brand is not just a logo and a set of colors. Seems to me like the difference Geoff Livingston cites between “reputation” and “brand” are just semantics.

People need to decide if they want to be left hopeless in the dust or rise to the top. @Nisha – You are very correct.
