Personal branding involves creating a public image that represents your unique skills, values, and personality. It's essential for differentiating yourself and building trust. An elevator pitch, a brief 30-second speech, is a key element of personal branding. It quickly communicates your value proposition, making a strong first impression and opening doors to opportunities.
