As a lawyer, tech leader, and transformation executive who led global legal AI adoption at one of the world’s largest telecommunications companies, she brings a practical, strategic, and dignity-centered perspective to the conversation. Her approach is rooted in grit, growth mindset, and a belief that change should be led with intention.In this episode of Branding Room Only, Paula T.

Are you leaving your personal brand up to luck? Some professionals do, and they'll insist that the great opportunity or recommendation that appeared at the right moment proves it. But while luck certainly plays a role in life and careers, there's a clear distinction between welcoming luck and relying on it as a strategy.In this episode of Branding Room Only, Paula T. Edgar walks through seven areas where people often leave their personal brand up to luck and why that is a mistake. From how you prepare your references to how you show up at conferences, shape your narrative, and advocate for opportunities, each decision becomes part of a deliberate strategy.Luck may open a door, but intention is what helps you walk through it. Paula breaks down where professionals are leaving too much to chance and what it looks like to build your brand with clarity, consistency, and intentional action instead.1:38 – Why preparation matters long before someone calls your references2:41 – The differentiator between those who benefit the most from conferences and those who don’t3:40 – Strategic visibility as a reputation boost to draw attention to your work4:31 – One thing you must take control of to ensure people understand your value5:21 – How real advocates for your brand are rarely the result of random encounters6:09 – Why waiting to be invited or recognized isn’t a reliable brand strategy6:51 – How growth itself can be strategic for your personal brand7:50 - Final thoughts to wrap up the showMentioned In 7 Ways You're Leaving Your Personal Brand Up to LuckPersonal Branding Strategy SessionsSubscribe to The Branding Room Only on YouTubeCall to ActionFollow & Review: If you enjoyed this episode, leave a 5-star review on your favorite podcast platform! Want more ways to grow your personal brand?

After years of hard work, many professionals finally reach a point where things feel stable. The role fits. The team works. The urgency slows down. But that sense of comfort can quietly turn into complacency if you stop investing in your personal brand simply because things feel “fine.”In this episode of Branding Room Only, Paula T. Edgar explores the difference between comfort and complacency and why personal branding requires ongoing maintenance—even in seasons of stability. Through real examples from her work with clients, Paula explains why visibility, relationships, and clarity about your value should be built before disruption forces you to.In this episode:Why comfort and complacency are not the sameHow stability can quietly weaken your personal brandSimple ways to maintain your brand even when your career feels settled00:35 – The subtle line between comfort and complacency2:02 – What happens when your reputation only lives inside your organization4:19 – Personal branding as an often-overlooked discipline5:20 – How comfort can sometimes become an identity you get wrapped up in6:07 – Two examples of how disruption exposes branding gaps8:45 – The power of intentional discomfort to facilitate growth10:08 – Simple branding gut check and how to create a little intentional discomfort this weekMentioned In March Into Confidence: When Comfort Becomes ComplacencyHow Sharing Your Wins Strengthens Your Personal BrandCurated Resources from PaulaPersonal Branding Strategy SessionsSubscribe to The Branding Room Only on YouTubeCall to ActionFollow & Review: If you enjoyed this episode, leave a 5-star review on your favorite podcast platform! Want more ways to grow your personal brand?

Wanting to be on a board and being ready for board service are not the same thing. Some people spend years building relationships, understanding governance, and positioning themselves as trusted advisors. Others rush the process and undermine their credibility before a real conversation even begins. Sonya Olds Som, Global Managing Partner and leader of the Legal, Risk, and Compliance Practice at DSG Global, conducts executive and board searches across industries. In this episode of Branding Room Only, Paula T. Edgar and Sonya break down what truly signals board readiness, why mindset matters as much as experience, and how your personal brand either builds trust or raises red flags in the boardroom.1:10 – The best piece of professional advice Sonya has received, habits that keep her focused, and one surprising fact about her5:29 – How the boardroom impression “nose in, fingers out” changes the way you talk about your expertise and value12:20 – The kinds of people boards are always looking for and how opportunities have opened up in the last few years15:14 – How to pivot to make yourself attractive to boards with less directly-connected experience than what they typically look for17:56 – How to answer tough experience questions in an interview without selling yourself short or pretending to be something you’re not21:24 –  One of the best ways to prepare yourself to be a board member (and why treating it as “easy money” is a bad move)34:10 – Ways to maximize your visibility and presence without oversharing or feeling like you're self-promoting too aggressively41:39 – How nonprofit boards, school communities, and passion projects can quietly position you for paid board opportunities 48:11 – General mistakes you should avoid when positioning yourself to be a board member 52:41 – How to approach your first board seat so it strengthens, rather than strains, your personal brand and your lifeDiversified Search GroupSonya Olds Som on LinkedInThe Strategic Power of Intentional Connection with Sonya Olds SomsGirls Inc. of ChicagoThe American Writers MuseumDressed in JoySign up for Paula’s Upcoming WebinarsFollow & Review: Help others find the podcast.

Your inner voice can either talk you into your greatness or talk you out of it. That little voice shows up when you're about to take a risk, ask for something you want, or step into a room where you're not sure you belong. Most people either ignore it completely or let it run the show. Neither works. The real question is whether you know how to catch it, redirect it, and make it work for you instead of against you.Amber Lee Forrester built Quartz Wellness Collective on the idea that your inner voice shapes everything about your brand. She works with executives and incarcerated youth, bringing positive psychology and strengths-based coaching into spaces that need psychological safety and honest reflection. Her approach is direct: if you can identify the thought patterns that derail you, you can redirect them toward what you actually want.In this episode, Paula T. Edgar and Amber dig into imposter syndrome, why it shows up even for high-performers, and what to do when that voice tries to take over. Amber breaks down her framework for catching thoughts before they derail you, why reflection matters more than just pushing through, and how to lean on your strengths when your weaknesses try to speak louder. They also talk about why community and psychological safety matter for doing your best work, and what it actually looks like to build a brand that feels like you on purpose. If that voice has ever made you second-guess yourself or shrink back from something you wanted, this conversation gives you tools to shift it.1:33 – Amber’s personal brand definition, three ways she describes herself, a Friedrich Nietzsche she often uses, and her Beyoncé hype song 4:27 – The childhood contrast that explains Amber’s comfort in very different rooms5:37 – Amber’s post-private school pivot from her original plan to her purpose11:25 – Amber’s definition of imposter syndrome and an example of how it showed up for her 16:10 – How imposter syndrome affects your brand and the way you show up as a leader19:54 – How positive psychology helps you challenge narratives that undermine your confidence and branding22:40 – The framework Amber uses to move people from self-doubt to self-belief28:14 – Misconception about imposter syndrome, the importance of reflection, and how your answer to a simple question impacts your brand32:27 – Amber’s high priority around creating safe community spaces, paving the way for brave spaces36:56 – Strengths-based anchor that helps you stay steady when your mind tries to hold you back42:46 – What Amber does for fun (and how even that ties back into her brand) Mentioned In Rewrite Your Story, Rewire Your Personal Brand with Amber Lee ForresterAmber Lee Forrester Quartz Wellness CollectivePOISED to Prosper Mentorship ProgramMy Engage Your Hustle™ Conference Playbook gives you the strategies to prepare, stand out, and follow up with impact.

In Part Two of this conversation on Branding Room Only, Paula T. Edgar and Rhonda Joy McLean move from formation to practice, exploring what it means to live your personal brand once leadership responsibilities deepen and visibility increases.Rhonda Joy reflects on how her leadership style evolved over time, particularly as she navigated being “the only,” managing teams, and carrying significant responsibility for others. She shares why listening is a critical leadership discipline, how relationships and sisterhood can sustain leaders, and what she learned the hard way about burnout, boundaries, and self-care.Paula and Rhonda also discuss the evolution of The Little Black Book of Success and Rhonda and her co-authors’ new book, The Next Little Black Book of Success, and why this moment called for a renewed leadership roadmap rooted in clarity, care, and people-centered values.1:08 – How personal relationships impacted Rhonda’s ability to manage and build her brand5:47 – How Rhonda’s brand has changed who she is and how she shows up over the course of her career7:47 – The role of leadership and volunteerism in building Rhonda’s brand14:48 – The cost of saying yes to everything, the importance of learning to rest, and Rhonda’s self-care strategy18:12 – The Little Black Book of Success: how it came about, what it’s about, and the newest iteration23:36 - Why Rhonda and her co-authors wrote another book, and inclusivity as a requirement (not an option) for the future of leadership28:01 – What Rhonda does for fun, people-centered leadership, and the snippet that defines her Branding Room Only magic Mentioned In From Becoming to Leading: Living Your Personal Brand with Rhonda Joy McLeanRJM Leads The Little Black Book of Success series by Elaine Meryl Brown, Marsha Haygood, and Rhonda Joy McLeanStorehouse Voices (The NEXT Little Black Book of Success)Sign up for Paula’s Upcoming WebinarsLearn More About Paula's Personal Branding Strategy Session OfferCall to ActionFollow & Review: Help others find the podcast.

In this episode of Branding Room Only, Paula T. Edgar is joined by Rhonda Joy McLean for a thoughtful and deeply personal conversation about where leadership and personal brand truly begin. Long before titles, platforms, or visibility, Rhonda Joy reflects on the experiences, values, and identity work that shaped how she shows up as a leader.Rhonda Joy shares stories from her upbringing in the Jim Crow South, integrating schools as a teenager, and learning early lessons about resilience, collaboration, and self-trust. She explores how faith, culture, and intergenerational legacy informed not only her career path, but the way she leads people and navigates systems. Together, Paula and Rhonda Joy unpack personal branding as presence rather than performance, and leadership as something practiced long before it is named.This episode centers the idea that a durable personal brand is not built through optics alone, but through lived experience, integrity, and clarity about who you are. It is a conversation about formation, grounding, and becoming before leading.2:36 – What personal branding means to Rhonda Joy, how she describes herself, a quote she thinks about often, and her hype music6:46 – How school integration was a daily test of courage, discipline, and collaboration12:39 – Rhonda Joy’s reflection on what’s happening now, decades after being a part of racial justice history16:19 – The foundation for Rhonda Joy’s fearless leadership, from childhood to law career21:31 – How being rejected opened doors to excellence for Rhonda Joy, instead of shrinking her ambition25:42 – Rhonda Joy’s impact on others and her values-led, continuously evolving brandMentioned In Becoming Before Leading with Rhonda Joy McLeanRJM Leads The Little Black Book of Success series by Elaine Meryl Brown, Marsha Haygood, and Rhonda Joy McLeanRhonda Joy McLean on Instagram and LinkedInNAACP Legal Defense FundCurated Resources from PaulaSign up for Paula’s Upcoming WebinarsLearn More About Paula's Personal Branding Strategy Session OfferCall to ActionFollow & Review: Help others find the podcast.

Think about the lessons that shaped you early, the voices that influenced how you see the world, and what it would mean to have those reflections preserved over time.Walter Pryor brings warmth, humor, and thoughtful vulnerability to every interaction. A public service leader, corporate executive, community advocate, and author of This Leaves Me Okay, his career reflects not just professional milestones, but a lineage shaped by nearly 30 years of handwritten letters from his grandmother, Mama Ceal, written with care, consistency, and intention.In this episode of Branding Room Only, Paula sits down with Walter to explore resilience, legacy, and the role personal relationships play in building a grounded, accessible personal brand. Along the way, the conversation surfaces lessons on leadership, parenting, partnership, and what it means to honor those who came before us while being intentional about what we leave behind.

Your face is part of your personal brand whether you acknowledge it or not. People experience you visually before you say a word. Some dismiss makeup and skincare as vanity or assume it has nothing to do with their work. Others do it themselves without realizing how small missteps can distract from the impression they want to make. Either way, an important part of your brand is being left to chance.Osha Hinds has spent over a decade helping people show up with intention. She works with everyone from corporate professionals to brides and understands that makeup isn’t about transformation for its own sake. It’s about being deliberate with your image. That mindset, and the trust it requires, is what her career is built on. Her journey from aspiring fashion designer to landing at MAC Cosmetics after ten interviews taught her what it takes to build credibility when your work is immediately visible.In this episode of Branding Room Only, Paula and Osha break down why image matters for your brand, the common mistakes people make when doing their own makeup, and how to look prepared in five minutes before a video call. They also explore what it means to be trusted with someone’s image, and why that principle extends beyond makeup into how you build a personal brand worth remembering.1:07 – Personal brand definition for Osha, three words that sum her up, the MLK Jr. quote she always references, and her go-to soca song4:23 – Osha’s unexpected path from fashion design to makeup artistry10:22 – The pivotal “fake it till you make it” moment that changed Osha’s career and confidence17:09 – How personal image communicates brand credibility before you ever speak20:39 – How makeup can empower you and why wearing it benefits you (even if you don’t think it’s necessary)25:25 – Biggest beauty mistakes people make and what they reveal about perception29:33 – Makeup prep recommendations for men and women (on and off-camera)36:04 – The misconception and truth about red lipstick39:30 – Basics that every professional and non-professional should have in their makeup toolkit46:35 – Quick makeup routine when you only have five minutes to get ready for a Zoom meeting48:50 – The four makeup items Osha and Paula would use for themselves in case of an emergency50:29 – How Osha helps those who struggle with their confidence and self-image52:51 – Spa days and 4DX movie theaters, a nasty truth about some water rides, and one of Paula’s favorite Osha stories56:40 – The importance of being a good client and partner for your makeup artist59:50 – Why trust is vital to Osha’s brand, the importance of communication, and how she does eyebrows differentlyMentioned In The Confidence Factor: How Makeup Impacts Your Personal Brand with Osha HindsConnect with Osha on InstagramSign up for Paula’s Upcoming WebinarsConferences are an investment—make sure you maximize yours.
