Irritating delivery

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Brenda definitely should have had someone else read this. I felt like I was being talked to by a Sunday school teacher. Content is interesting. I think her process requires far more work than is needed. I seriously doubt that anyone is going to go through the trouble of developing the personal branding plan she recommends. I also disagree with her examples i.e emotional needs. I did like some of the quotes and the stories she tells however.

Would you recommend How YOU Are Like Shampoo to your friends? Why or why not?

Not really. My friends are too old to care about career advancement, which is really the focus of this book. I read it simply to learn more about somebody else's perspective on personal branding, a subject I write about myself.

How could the performance have been better?

For me, her delivery seemed affected. Not real. Trying too hard. It became a major distraction until I eventually gave up on the book. A little too much "aren't I smart?" throughout, as well.

Excellent audio book about Personal Branding

If you could sum up How YOU Are Like Shampoo in three words, what would they be?
