What to expect
How people perceive you has always been critical to a successful career. Now add in the Internet, social media, and the unrelenting hum of 24/7 business, and the ability to brand and promote yourself effectively becomes absolutely essential for young professionals to land the job, earn the raise, or get that much-deserved promotion. It is only with the ability to promote yourself that managers and executives can see Gen Y workers as invaluable employees, game-changing managers, or the people whose names are synonymous with success. So how do they stand out and get ahead?
Drawing on proprietary research and countless interviews with the most dynamic professionals in business today, career guru and founder of Millennial Branding Dan Schawbel takes readers through his step-by-step process of creating unique personal brands and leveraging them to maximum advantage.

“Packed with research, real-life examples, and
practical, concrete suggestions for action…an
invaluable guide for anyone considering how to succeed better inside—and
outside—of work.”
“Promote Yourself is a perfect read for young people starting their ‘real’ job, or veterans who want to up their game.”
“Schawbel’s book is a game-changer for any
employee who is looking to get ahead at work. It reveals the skills and
strategies that will turn you into a future leader.”
“This is a book about freedom. The freedom to
chart your own path, make your own ruckus, and stand up and say to the world, ‘Here,
I made this.’”
“In this remarkable book, Schawbel gives you all
the resources, advice, and inspiration you need to take charge of your own
career and get ahead at work. Read Promote Yourself if you
want to achieve your dreams and have fun doing it.”
“If you’re just standing around waiting and
hoping for the boss to notice you, I’ve got bad news: It’s probably not going
to happen. High-performing leaders are attracted to activity. You’ve got to get
moving! In Promote Yourself, Dan Schawbel shows you what to do to
get noticed—and get promoted—inside the company you’re already with.”
“Promote Yourself is a tactical and
practical guide to navigate the new world of work. It will inspire you to
create your own career path and control your own destiny.”
“Most career self-help books are written by
pretenders for pretenders. Dan Schawbel’s Promote Yourself is
the opposite. Keen, insightful, and written by a realist and for the
talented.”
“Promote Yourself will motivate you
to make a positive difference in your own career.”
“What makes this how-to audio such an exciting learning experience is no just Mike Chamberlain’s crisp diction and natural enthusiasm. He also makes listeners curious about each new idea with his remarkable ability to use energy modulations and strategic pauses to create suspense and rivet attention…Chamberlain’s captivating performance adds to a high-impact lesson on how networking skills, emotional intelligence, self-promotion, and attention to relationships are critical to creating the job you love.”
“Promote Yourself is a very engaging
and extremely thought-provoking read. The topic is both timely and highly
relevant, and Dan sets the foundation with the facts and stories, distilled
with both actionable and practical insights. I learned a lot from it and so
will you!”
“Schawbel’s book contains valuable, not so obvious
insights to getting ahead in making your mark in today’s competitive workplace.
The book is based on Dan’s solid research, provides sound advice, and just
might be one of your most valuable reads.”
“Schawbel will help you navigate the new
workplace with ease and give you all the tools you need in order to stand out
at work and get promoted faster than your peers!”
“Promote Yourself is a fascinating
read and also a practical guide, for anyone entering the job force. Right on!
Thank you Dan for giving us inspiration, and a solid blueprint for building a
successful career.”
