Sallee Poinsette-Nash: Is professionalism holding you back?
Nov 16, 2022 Episode 6
Louisa Mordaunt and Janine Jacobs

In this week’s episode of the podcast, we’re delighted to interview Sallee Poinsette-Nash, one of the UK’s leading people-brand strategists and founder of Brandable & Co, all about personal branding and professionalism in the workplace. 

To show a human side, the benefits of personal and employer branding are undeniable on a personal and company level, but for one reason or another, not everyone is on board, whether that's down to confusion around professionalism, personal fear, or lack of strategy.

We talk about:    

  • What is a human brand  
  • The importance of showing up in a more human way  
  • How people can benefit from re-accessing their relationship with professionalism when it comes to personal branding  
  • How professionalism is closely linked to self-awareness 
  • Why companies could benefit from communicating their expectations around professionalism  
  • Tips and techniques for unlocking and creating a memorable personal brand  

Sallee takes a refreshing approach towards professionalism at work. its evolution and the impact it has on creating human brands and showing up as ourselves at work. She shares her insights, wisdom, and expertise in how to create a personal brand for the benefit of yourself and your company. We’d love to know whether you’ve found this episode useful for re-thinking professionalism for the benefit of your company or your own personal brand?
