Last week Chromium Group, along with Tony Wessling and Julie Robertson hosted the most pivotal event for individuals and small businesses alike. Rob Levinson shared the most illustrious secrets to creating YOUR Personal Brand.

In just a few words, your brand is what people say about you when you are not in the room.

This quick one hour session enlightened attendees to their top three adjectives, and transformed into hashtags. These three words we expanded into an elevator speech.

Who knew branding was so profoundly simple?
