Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley.
In this two-part series we welcome back Mel Stanley, owner of First Woman, to reveal personal branding secrets that can help you stand out positively to colleagues, your network and new connections.
Mel shares some thoughts on how Compliance Officers can use personal branding to facilitate our human side being seen as part of our reputation with internal clients and how we as Compliance professionals can demonstrate our expertise without coming across as overly self-promotional or arrogant.
Mary asked Mel’s advice on how to determine if our personal branding is showing up right now as seen by others, to help with the process of developing our branding in the direction we wish.  Mary shares with Mel and the audience what results she got following Mel’s advice, including an unintended benefit and accordingly recommends all listeners give it a try.  Mel generously and graciously pulls off some impromptu workshopping for Mary which will provide valuable insights for all Great Women in Compliance.
We round off the episode with a what not to do to avoid sabotaging your carefully built up branding.
