The Me-Brand
Micki Gruber
Nobody needs another book telling women how they should be! This is a guide to discovering who you truly are — a guide to identifying your strengths, understanding what you want, and claiming it, not despite your nature but by honoring your authentic self. Your “Me-Brand” isn’t a label imposed from the outside (or one you force on yourself); it’s something you shape every single day.
To build it, you’ll first learn to shed the stereotypes that trap women in impossible standards of perfection, dismantle the myths of “female success,” and silence the external pressures that drown out your inner voice. Then, brick by brick, detail by detail, you’ll create a strong professional presence that never compromises your authenticity.
These pages offer concrete tools: a clear, accessible framework supported by practical techniques and exercises that are easy to apply in everyday life. How to run a meeting effectively, decline an invitation without guilt, navigate workplace emergencies, negotiate better pay — and, crucially, how to recognize whether your “Me-Brand” still reflects who you are, and how to reshape it when it no longer does.
This book charts a path to self-awareness that empowers women to be strong, bold, and adaptable while staying true to their values. Combining generosity with determination, ambition with grace, rigor with relatability isn’t a fantasy — it’s a daily practice, and it starts with you.
