Deb Dib

Think about how good it feels when you are doing something you love; when time has no meaning; when your mind, body, and the environment around you are in perfect synergy. That feeling, that energy, is what you get when you hit your “sweet spot”—when you are doing something “on brand”—something that is truly, authentically, you.

How would you feel if you could work that sweet spot for an employer? For pay, for career progression, for fun at work, for pure satisfaction? My passion is helping you identify and use that sweet spot—your personal (and professional) brand—to land faster, earn more, have fun, and maybe even change the world!

I’ve been a career professional since 1989. From early on I knew that when I wrote resumes infused with my clients’ differentiation, passion, and voice, those resumes worked. The power of branding manifested so clearly in my clients’ successes that I learned (and continue to learn!) everything I could about personal branding. I incorporated it into my resume writing, career communications, and coaching services; became a Reach Certified Personal Branding Strategist; and watched my clients soar.

I LOVE my job—I get to help people catapult their careers and achieve their particular dreams. What’s better than that?
