  Welcome to this week's Monday Motivation. This week's thought is about Ethics and Integrity. For Months I have been talking about how to "Push out" personal branding as a way to increase our identity and grow our brands. I believe that if you do not have integrity or follow the established rules of ethics at your work or in your personal life your brand will undoubtedly suffer.  Sometimes building our personal brand can come from the things we do when we think no one is watching.  In this day and age, everyone is watching, one way or another.

Because we can't be seen, some feel that they need to try harder to be heard. My thought is that communicating better fills in that gap. This weeks training opportunity is on Communication,  I originally took this class in 2020, and took it again this week. I hope you find it relevant to your personal brand journey.
