In light of a prevailing gender pay gap, and rapidly changing labour market (In the UK around 1.6million people are registered as freelancers, and make up the fastest growing group in the EU labour market. “In house” the idea of a job for life is rapidly diminishing, with the UK average coming in at just 4.2 years), leading brand expert Kubi Springer explains why it’s more important than ever for women to create, develop and own their personal brand.
Kubi’s methods have been tried and tested working with major brands including P. Diddy, Justin Timberlake and Mariah Carey, and the practical training she has led at companies including Santander, Facebook and Rolls Royce. Throughout the book, Kubi speaks to women around the world in various roles and across a range of sectors – including retail, creative, banking, beauty and technology, to show why it’s so important to establish your personal brand, regardless of societies perceived limitations placed on you.
