Strong teams are made of genuine indivduals

Connecting teams. Accelerating business.

Powerful words by Erik Hiep — top-tier executive leadership trainer, management consultant, and (just as importantly) a determined, knowledgeable, and trustworthy professional. We worked together to help managers of the Urban Gym Group show up as they are.

As part of the executive leadership program delivered by The Next Level Now, for the Urban Gym Group, Brandsparkle was invited to contribute with an expert session on the often underestimated, yet unbeatable, value of Personal Branding in teams.

Because here’s the truth:

Strong personal brands don’t create ego-driven individuals.
They create clarity.
And clarity strengthens collaboration, builds trust, fosters understanding and ultimately drives results.

In two dedicated modules, I guided the leadership team through:

• Why Personal Branding is essential for modern leaders.
• The foundation of brand strategy.
• How to apply the fundamentals to create genuine engagement and connection.

Personal Branding in a Team Means:

1. Understanding your impact on others, because leadership is connection.
2. Being clear about what you stand for: your ambitions, strengths, and even your weaknesses, and having the courage to share them.
3. Being open about what you need to perform at your best, because transparency builds stronger teams.

Personal branding is not self-promotion.

It’s what people say about you when you’re not in the room.
