Become the Go-to Thought Leader in the Built Environment
I help leaders to design and build their Personal Brand
But what is a Personal Brand?
It is the curation of your reputation, how people perceive you; the combination of what you do, what you say, how you turn up and what you make people feel.
And it is one of the most powerful things you can do for your career and business.
Did you know
- A Personal Brand is 20 times more powerful than a business brand
- Regularly posting content can increase your revenue by 23%
- 75% of investors say a founder’s personal brand significantly influences their funding decision.
and it can help you to…..
Gain Leads
People need to know, like and trust you to want to work with you. Build your brand and attract the right leads.
Attract Talent
Positioning yourself as a Key Person of Influence will help attract the best people to you. We all want employees who align with our mission.
Industry Recognition
Get featured on Industry Podcasts, be asked to write opinion pieces, and be invited to partnerships. You might just be shortlisted for an Award.
Improved Credibility
Become a Thought-Leader in the built environment and set yourself apart in a crowded industry providing new opportunities and being the name on people’s lips.
You are being overlooked because you are invisible
The work will speak for itself…..that’s what we are all told right?
The reality is that there are so many talented professionals in the Built Environment who are not getting the leads, raises or attention they deserve because they are playing it small. All whilst people who are less talented pick up the best opportunities because they had the nerve to build something and talk about themselves.
We need to change the narrative, bring attention, attract clients and communicate our message to our peers, ultimately we need to build a Personal Brand
But who am I . . .
Hi – I’m Chris, Architect, Entrepreneur & Personal Branding Expert
Taking control of my career and building my personal brand has been the most important and impactful decision I have made for my career.
I want to help you.
My Story
3 years ago i was stuck….
an Associate Partner in a large london Architecture practice, I should have been happy but….
I felt invisible, just being paid to keep my head down, busy with project work but I knew I wanted more.
The covid lockdown was my changing point (like many) I decided to re-engage with my love of drawing, started posted my work online and began building a small community around my passions. As I grew I started to connect with other professionals in the built environment and form relationships with people I had never met. Over time, I began to speak about my experiences within the Architecture profession and offer support for others.
Sharing my ideas, opinions and experiences with honesty, openness and a dash of humour propelled me onto panels, podcasts and opened up a whole host of opportunities for growth and business. I now have circa 55,000 followers across social media and run various projects leveraging my personal brand.
I want to help other professionals in this industry to take control of their careers and get the recognition they deserve
Ok, how can we work together?
