All of us have a reputation and a personal brand. In this episode of Doctors at Work, Greg and I discuss the concept of personal branding. We talk about where our reputation comes from, including the importance of digital presence. There are benefits to a positive personal brand, both financial (if working in private systems) and reputational, but there are costs too including professional help and the headspace needed. Changing one's personal brand is definitely possible, and indeed may be desirable as the world around us changes.
