Sigrid De Kaste and Jane Jackson - How to Build Your Brand with a Book
Are you struggling to get noticed for the great work you do? In this episode of Your Career Podcast, you will learn how to ATTRACT the opportunities for your career or your business that you deserve!
Whether you are a job seeker, looking to progress in your career, or a business owner, your PERSONAL BRAND is essential for success.
One of the best ways to build your brand is by WRITING A BOOK on your area of expertise. I was joined by Author/Mentor Sigrid De Kaste on a LinkedIn Live broadcast during which we discussed the importance of branding for your career or your business. I’m sharing the recording of our discussion which is filled with valuable tips for your personal brand.
A book is a powerful tool to help you stand out and showcase your expertise.
If you are a professional in your field, you have a book in you! Share your expertise – provide solutions to specific problems and you will be sought after. A book is a business card on STERIOIDS!
Not only will publishing a book give you credibility, it provides the best opportunity to CONNECT with your target audience in a memorable way.
Writing a book will enable you to:
• Highlight your expertise and knowledge on a specific topic
• Establish you as a thought leader in your industry – the ‘go to’ expert!
• Provide platform to share your story and connect with your audience
• Attract hiring managers, new clients or customers
• Open up opportunities for speaking engagements and media appearances and build your brand

Alden Mills - Navy Seal, Author, Speaker - Be Unstoppable
Alden Mills shares his career journey with Jane Jackson on Your Career Podcast as he is on a mission to help 100 million people Be Unstoppable.
He has over 40 years of experience failing and succeeding in areas including sports, the military, business, nonprofits and community action groups.
Alden has learned that success is driven by one vital factor – leadership – of oneself and others.
Alden Mills first learned to lead himself.
As a weak child with asthma, doctors insisted he limit physical activity and avoid sports.
But no he didn't! With the mindset instilled in him by his mother that “no one defines what you can and can’t do, but you,” he went on to become a National Collegiate Champion rower, earning Gold and Silver medals at the Olympic Festival, and a Navy SEAL who was top of his class.
From a young age he amassed notebooks of invention drawings. One of those ideas became the wildly popular Perfect Pushup and today he holds over 40 patents worldwide.
As Alden achieved personal successes, he repeatedly grew into leadership positions. He became captain of his collegiate rowing team, was promoted three times to Navy SEAL platoon commander, and ranked #1 platoon commander each time.
He turned a single invention into a global fitness powerhouse in over 70 countries with multiple products, leading Perfect Fitness to become the fastest-growing consumer product company in the country, with over $95 million in sales in just three years.
Along the way, Alden cultivated a methodology - Unstoppable Leadership – that develops people into congruent and authentic leaders who successfully build teams and create cultures that are unstoppable.
Through speaking, coaching, writing, board advisory, and teaching, Alden helps people acquire the mindset, tools, and actions required to accomplish more than they thought was possible.

Are You TOO OLD To Be Hired?
Are you too old to be hired? Do you ever wonder if you’re too old to land another job? Or that your age is a barrier to what you really want to do?
Now, those of you who already know me will know I get on my high horse about ageism in the workplace and how I believe we are NEVER TOO OLD to reinvent our careers. Yes, that's right - we are NEVER TOO OLD to be the person we were born to be.
In this episode I promised to give you the links to a number of interesting posts and resources and you'll find them at the bottom of these shownotes.
Let me ask you, if you're over 30, over 40, over 50, over 60, over 70 are you too old to:
Be heard?
Be loved?
Be appreciated?
To contribute your years of experience and knowledge to benefit someone who's problems you can help to solve?
To be considered as an individual rather than an age-bracket?
Are you too old to learn something new?
Or to try something different?
And TO MAKE A POSITIVE IMPACT?
Unfortunately, according to a 2021 report by the Australian Human Rights Commission, age discrimination remains a significant issue in the workplace, affecting both job seekers and employees.
Here are some statistics on ageism in the workplace in Australia:
Around 27% of workers over the age of 50 reported experiencing age discrimination in the workplace.Older job seekers are more likely to experience long-term unemployment, with the average duration of unemployment for workers aged 55 and over being around 71 weeks.Older workers are more likely to be retrenched or have their contracts terminated, and they find it more challenging to secure new job opportunities than younger workers.and this one surprised me:
Despite being a protected attribute under Australian law, only 56% of workers are aware that age discrimination is illegal.
So how can we overcome ageism in the workplace? In this episode I discuss in detail these strategies:
UpskillingNetworkingHighlighting transferable skills Addressing negative stereotypesTo overcome ageism it requires a collective effort from employers, employees, and society as a whole.
I’d like to ask you: How are you helping to promote a culture of inclusivity and respect for all generations?
What else can we do to create a more equitable and age-diverse workplace?
Let’s keep the conversation going and I'd love you to send me a message on LinkedIn or share a post of you in action showing your energy and enthusiasm regardless of age and tag me so I know!
