Brand Aid

Hands-on strategies for creating and protecting your personal brand (yes, you have one)

Think branding is just for large corporations, marketing directors, and cows? Think again. Each one of us has a brand – a personal brand, how others see us – which is shaped by what we do, say, write, and otherwise present ourselves to others.

We can’t fully control how others see us (smart, capable, compassionate, creative, fair). But many of us don’t even try. That is, we don’t take a moment to think about how we WANT to be perceived, and then take a few simple steps to bolster that impression with purposeful action.

This isn’t a book about manipulating others, putting on airs, or saying things you don’t really mean. It IS about using our words and actions mindfully, whether they take place in a conference room, PTA meeting, dinner party, Facebook comment thread, or anywhere else.

Using clear examples from businesses, families, and more, this straightforward guide presents essential advice for anyone who wants to succeed in today’s competitive and interconnected world.

"The Two Types of People In This World"

Coming in 2024!

The premise of Pat’s new project is to get unique perspectives from Top CEOs, Professional Athletes & Olympians, Military Leaders, Best-Selling Authors, and more to gain insight into their experiences to answer a simple question, “The are two types of people in this world – what are they?” The goal is to provide inspiration, insight, value, motivation, and entertainment for a very wide audience.

With over 25 contributors, this book is going to have you asking big questions about how you view the world around you.

Advanced Praise for “The Two Types of People in This World”

The Two Types of People in This World is a powerful way of looking at the various ways people view the world, pursue personal goals and missions, and overcome setbacks. Having tried to be, and lived with high-achieving dreamers my whole life I began to notice that when we can trust ourselves, and understand the unique way we do things then we have a real opportunity to contribute our one-of-a-kind views, and gifts. I believe we all have something special to contribute to the world we live in, and The Two Types of People in This World shares inspiring stories that will leave you excited to examine within and use the tales of many to motivate you to find your own answers and find what drives you.

Astronauts, athletes, soldiers, and business leaders will have you asking yourself which type of person you are.

I am always sharing about fear and the role it plays in our lives, should we choose to let it. These stories acknowledge the choices we have and the unique and important ways we all not only see the world around us but interact with it. Learning to listen to each other, share with each other and learn from each other is pivotal action for all our futures. So many words and thoughts of wisdom have been gathered on these pages. Well done by all.”

We all exist on a spectrum. The beauty of life is that we are a complex messy interplay of contradictions – sometimes confident, sometimes self-doubting, imbued with willpower, and at others struggling to commit to a pursuit/habit, extroverted, but sometimes needing our own space for energy and reconnection. This book dives deep into humanity at its core.
