There’s a common misperception out there that branding is only for the big, the bold, and the extroverts. I know, you’re thinking that you must morph into me and:
Attend a required number of “booze and schmooze” events
Circulate at “see and be seen” meetings
Adore giving talks and being the center of attention
BUT, you don’t! Thought-leaders, experts, and even some celebrities choose to remain visibly unrecognizable. After all, what does Sia really look like behind that blonde hair? And, would you recognize the 2 unmasked men of Daft Punk? Introverts rejoice because you can boost your credibility while remaining behind-the-scenes with these tactics.
