In this first episode of ASCEND In Action, Talent Attraction Specialist Daisy McVey talks to Team Manager Basma Shamoun about personal branding and authenticity. This episode isn't your typical "personal branding" episode filled with self-promotion tips... instead Basma shares a refreshing perspective: build your brand through your leadership values and actions, not through inauthentic self-promotion.

Intrigued? Dive in to hear Basma discuss the power of values like high standards, honesty, and even a dash of fun in building a strong personal brand.

The episode also tackles authenticity for recruiters, especially women in a male-dominated field. Discover how Basma fosters authenticity within her team while empowering them to develop their own unique styles.

This instalment is all about ditching the inauthenticity and cultivating genuine, values-driven leadership and personal brands. Learn how to build trust and thrive in recruitment by being your authentic self!
