S6E3 - New year new you: Auditing your personal brand

It’s still relatively early in the new year (although March is creeping up incredibly quickly!), which means it’s the perfect time for you to undertake a little personal brand audit.

Did you have a Myspace when you were younger (gah, cringe)? Or maybe you’re like Belle and have had sporadic Twitter phases on and off for the last 10+ years…

In this ep, Liz steps us through 5 simple ways we can do a social media audit to ensure the content that appears online for your personal brand reflects what you want it to:

Start by doing a Google of your name (don’t forget any nicknames or maiden names)

Check all your old social media accounts 

Be sure to double-check all your social media privacy settings

Audit your current social account content

Does this portray the right message?

Would I feel ok if this was shown on TV or to my grandparents?

Is it something that can be used to harm my personal security?

Do I need to update anything to be relevant/meet best practice

Update your profiles and messaging to reflect the new year (new job, new headshot)

Bonus tip: Use this cleansing energy to also unsubscribe from any emails you no longer want!
