Common ideas with no depth on the subject
By Rubi Rodriguez on 6/4/2021
I thoroughly enjoyed this course! So many of these concepts resonated with me and several times during Russell's lecture, I definitely got my "aha" moment! This course is definitely going to help me as I relaunch my own image consulting business. Thank you!

He hits on some good points to help you get your creative juices flowing. He talks about the different aspects of a personal brand and/or your identity as a person and how to develop it. The course lacks some depth in some of these sections but overall it is good for getting started. He offers some small exercises to help you work on developing your personal brand that is helpful.

We loved Russell, but we felt that a lot of the content was fluffy. We wished he'd started with his personal story since that was a big decision in buying the content. Russell seemed like someone, from the photo, we wanted to meet. Let's start with who he is!

This was such an interesting and thought-provoking course. I thoroughly enjoyed Russells' lessons and definitely use the information learned to build my personal brand!
By Rebecca Sanders on 4/15/2018
I liked the course because it was easy to follow, while gaining a lot of helpful information. It was great that he incorporated style in with your personal brand. I especially liked the 3 part narrative of a speech. He broke it down in three parts which made it easier to understand. Many speakers try to make the process of giving a speech too cumbersome. Yes, the KISS method actually works in this instance. All the best! Rebecca

I like this course and I like the teacher. Very decent for a free course, I got some very helpful advice for creating my brand and the teacher is obviously very competent in this field!
By John Chamley on 6/3/2017
Certainly Russell doesn't represent my values in terms of the way he dresses and presents himself. But looking past all of that the course is "on the money" in terms of learning about what's required to develop a personal brand. I've got 4 1/2 pages of notes from this, of steps to take to develop my own. Perhaps Russell's success is mostly due to his courage to be the authentic self that he sees himself to be. A very well structured and thought provoking course.
By D'Arcy Mayo on 4/27/2017
Enjoyed the course and did learn a little but felt it lacked substance ... it had a lot of "mother hood" content which could have benefited from more how-to-do instruction ... that is, step-by-step things to do that go beyond nice words on the surface ...the content that is there is great, it just needs to go deeper and deliver stronger actions to actually create an outstanding personal brand ... at the moment it's nice but not great
By Michael Edge on 11/23/2015
Personal branding can be hard. You need to ask yourself some tough questions to get to the heart of who you really are and what you stand for. Russell's inspiring and empathetic approach gently takes you through the process whilst challenging you to be honest with yourself. I loved working through this course and am now busy putting Russell's wealth of advice and exercises into practice myself. Highly recommended.
