Yvonne Ebbi is no stranger to personal branding and judging from her own success, her knowledge as an image consultant, and insight, Ebbi wrote Finding Your She Spark to offer women the wisdom she gives her clients minus the premium fees she charges.
The pretty book cover of Finding Your She Spark is quite clever because it quite aptly conveys what the book is about while drawing in the reader. And if turn into the pages of the book, Ebbi writes at length about self-discovery and having a unique proposition because she believes that building a successful personal brand begins with taking a long, hard look at yourself.
Simple, direct and fast moving, Ebbi shows you “how to be who you are, how to turn your flaws into strengths, take risks, and use what you’ve got to get what you want. She asks you some questions to help you find your way: Who are you? What is your purpose? And who do you want to be?

Yes, the book reads like a motivational book (plus an uplifting foreword by Global BrandINNOVENTOR Charles Otudor) but part of her aim is to guide you through every step to building a personal brand that matters. Her guidance is interactive and every page is generously dipped in inspiring success stories, affirmations and a little humor that cover everything you need in detail to get started the smart way.
Ebbi emphasizes that your physical appearance is linked to your personal brand. By this, she means people use perception to size you up and your appearance dictates how people perceive you, so you should put some thought into it and those around you will think about you too.
Don’t give others the undue honor to feel that they have the power to determine your fate. Regardless of how you are judged, her rule is: you have control over the initial perception people have of you.
If you are still wondering why you need to brand yourself, the social intelligence expert says, you need to be aware of the fact that everyone has a personal brand. Take a moment, and search yourself on Google, the results that are displayed are the first impression people have of you. Do not think about why but think larger thoughts about the endless benefits of building and maintaining a strong brand.
By the time you finish the book, you’ll have a clear sense of who you are and where you are going. What you learn from the author can turn aspiration into action and help you build a powerful personal brand – you want to put yourself in a position of power.
Overall, this book is perfect for anyone desirous of standing out, being the person of value, and using your skills and abilities to create a unique brand that sets you apart from everyone else.
