Ready to get serious about your brand? Join me for the next installment of our #NoThanks Rockstar to Rockstar Fireside Chat series, a rebroadcast of the live multistream from Wednesday.

Strategic communications is the one ingredient that leadership development is lacking, and there is no way to be a rockstar leader without the real goods on the topic from the people who know.

Sis, you say you want to stop dimming your shine, right?

It's why I turned to Ted Rubin when it was time to talk personal branding in my new book No Thanks: 7 Ways to Say I'll Just Include Myself. He is a marketing guru, and so many people turn to him for solid counsel on what he has coined "Return on Relationship."

After all, if you want to lead, you need to understand that core concept and how to properly engage with your community, online and off. You can't lead if you don't know how to wield today's tools to communicate the problem you solve.

You really should pick the book up before the holiday: nothanksbook.com.

This is our last show of the year.  We are taking a much needed break after a 2+ yearlong sprint.

Until next year...
