How do you rebrand yourself?

To rebrand yourself, you can more or less follow the guidance for rebranding companies, with some slight shifts in focus:

1. Name the opportunity. What is it you want to change, and why?
2. Audit your current brand—your profession, interests, network, communication style, and mindset. What feels like it’s no longer aligned with your goals and identity?
3. Define your new strategy. Choose 3–5 words that define your future self to use as your guidepost going forward.
4. Update your visual identity, including your CV, LinkedIn profile, portfolio, bio, and how you present yourself in meetings and interviews.
5. Implement internally. Adjust your habits and behavior to match your new positioning—taking on different types of projects, developing new skills, changing how you communicate, or seeking out new professional circles.
6. Communicate externally. Be consistent across all channels  to build recognition and credibility.
7. Monitor and iterate. Track feedback from friends, colleagues, and online interactions. Reflect regularly on whether your actions and presentation align with your desired identity, and make adjustments as needed.
