Personal brand and executive presence

<p>Your personal brand isn’t just your LinkedIn profile or what you wear to work – it’s every micro habit, every interaction and the way you consistently make people feel. In this conversation with career strategist and Kinda Planned podcast host Alex Cuttiford, we unpack the real meaning of personal brand, how it connects to executive presence, and how to make it both authentic and strategic. We talk: values, first impressions, strengths and why action (not overthinking) is the secret to clarity and confidence.</p><p><br /></p><p>Alex Cuttiford is career development obsessed and passionate about helping young professionals navigate their careers with confidence, purpose and impact. With a background spanning trades, youth work, career development, and government, Alex understands the reality of a “messy” career, and sees that journey as a superpower. </p><p><br /></p><p>Over the past eight years, Alex has designed and delivered strategic career initiatives and coached individuals through transitions both big and small. His work focuses on helping people uncover their values, strengths and skills so they can make career decisions that are not only smart but also deeply meaningful. Alex believes in the importance of holding space for authentic conversations and harnessing the power of curiosity to unlock new opportunities.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mentioned in this episode:</p><p>Article: <a href="https://hbr.org/2024/01/the-new-rules-of-executive-presence" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">The New Rules of Executive Presence</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Connect with Alex Cuttiford:</p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/2YlEd2CV0Jdy0WsKwgGJqh?si=f756fc84b961410f" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Kinda Planned podcast</a></p><p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-cuttiford-103a881a0/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">www.linkedin.com/in/alex-cuttiford</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Join the Conversation:</p><p>Subscribe to the LeadWell fortnightly newsletter for leadership insights, tools, and inspiration delivered directly to your inbox. <a href="https://www.leadwellco.com.au/emailnewslettersignup" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Subscribe here.</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Connect with Me:</p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/LeadWellwithJacqui" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">@LeadWellwithJacqui</a></p><p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacqui-butler-coach/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Jacqui Butler</a></p><p>Website: <a href="https://www.leadwellco.com.au/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">www.leadwellco.com.au</a></p><p><br /></p><p>If you found this episode helpful, don’t forget to subscribe to the podcast and leave a review to help others discover LeadWell with Jacqui!</p>
