This is a clip from the 5 Episode Series on my Brand Design Masters Podcast. This episode is called “Leaving Corporate Part 3: What To Do Before You Pull the Plug”
Kathy Oneto, host of the Sustainable Ambition podcast, and founder of Sustainable Ambition has spent 20 years in the “big corporate” and “big agency” worlds as a brand strategist and senior marketing executive; she's worked in large companies and small, as well as entrepreneurial companies, both as a co-founder of start-ups and as the chief of staff to founders.
In this series, Kathy and I talk about how to leave the corporate world for greener pastures. For this first episode, we discuss how to take stock of your personal brand while you are still employed.
We discuss:
• What happens with your sense of personal identity when you leave a corporate job
• How do you establish a new presence for yourself when you work for yourself
• The one big surprise you discover when you work for yourself that no one ever thinks about
• How do you start to establish psychological independence before you leave your job
• How to redefine and re-describe your ‘personal brand story’
• What ‘rites of passage’ do you pass through then you go through a job transition
