Rohit, great post. I agree working with corporate executives they often feel that they need only be loyal to their corporate brand. Working with high level executive's professional presence - it's all about communicating with impact your presence through your core personal brand attributes. Executives need to understand that they must incorporate both the corporate brand image and their own personal brand image for greater success today. Every professional work who works in a corporate environment is also a unique individual with many talents and gifts and personal branding is how they remain on top during a competitive business environment. I loved your point of view! Thanks for sharing!
