WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING
Weayonnoh Nelson-Davis - Executive Director
Economic Progress Institute, Rhode Island.
“Dr. Hume Johnson is one of the best facilitators on leadership development and personal branding there is. She is such a natural at getting you to dig deeper. I have learned so much about who I am as a person, as a leader and how others see me. Through her sessions, I have developed more confidence in who I am as a person, as a leader and the unique value I bring. I highly recommend Dr. Johnson for anyone going through their leadership journey.”
"Dr. Johnson clarified my whole approach to taking my career to the next level. Her coaching is absolutely amazing, Tailored to your needs and incorporates your strengths and weaknesses. I spent the day after our session in total silence. SPEECHLESS! Do yourself a favour and invest in yourself. Take the plunge."
"I have benefited in un-quantifiable measure from Dr. Hume Johnson's book, Brand YOU! and her online coaching and mentoring. Her targeted questions force you to look beyond brand and to find your purpose (how do you add value?). I've taken the lessons from Hume and applied them to my life and those lessons have catapulted me into new dimensions as a professional. Thank you Hume. You are the best life architect and personal branding expert in the game."
"I have been actively working in an industry for years but was always unsure of the space I occupy in it. My consultation with Dr Hume Johnson was soul searching and insightful. After only a few minutes into our session, I was able to rethink and recreate my personal brand, and online image presenting a clear picture of my skills and competencies and was able to honestly confront some of my weaknesses that were affecting my professional progress. I am still a work in progress and look forward to continuing my engagement with her as I continue to work on my brand."
"When you think of your brand, what comes to mind? For many years, I assumed it was my job, my place of employment - little did I know, my brand was much more than that. For many years I have stalked this woman. Dr. Hume Johnson. I admired her brand from afar. I wanted to develop my brand but I had no clue where to begin. After a one-on-one marathon personal branding session, needless to say I have to wonder no more .I am now empowered and inspired. Highly recommend spending some time with the Dr. of re-branding. Yes, she will pull it out of you."

![People don’t hire a law degree. They hire someone who can help them feel protected, clear, and confident.
Here’s how I’d brand myself as an #attorney.??
If I were an attorney, I wouldn’t just define myself by the type of law I practice.
I’d define myself by who I am, what I believe, and how I show up: composed, strategic, and relentless.
I value justice, fairness, and empowering my clients to navigate complexity with ease.
So what problems am I really solving?
This depends on the type of law you practice. For example:
→ I help small business owners protect what they’ve built.
→ I help families navigate sensitive issues with compassion.
→ I help people stand up for themselves — legally and emotionally.
I’d communicate my brand by:
Creating simple, helpful legal explainers in my voice.
Sharing values-based posts: “Why I became a lawyer — and why I stay one.”
Humanizing the law so people don’t feel so lost in it.
Being a good #lawyer isn’t just about the law.
It’s about humanity, advocacy, and trust. That’s the brand. Lean into it.

![What Your Communication Says About YOU
#Communication is never neutral. You’re always communicating something - even when you’re silent.
Over the years, I’ve come to realize that communication is not just about speaking well or writing clearly.
It’s also not just about being confident or articulate.
It’s about how we show up. How we treat people. I call this your #communicationbrand or your #communicationpresence
✅ Do we acknowledge them when they speak?
?Do we respond to messages in a timely way?
?Do we listen actively and stay present?
These little habits communicate respect or the lack of it.
For example, when someone is speaking and you’re looking at your phone, it might seem like a small thing.
But to the speaker, it often feels like disregard.
They may walk away thinking you’re disinterested or even dismissive.
And here’s why that matters: when people experience you as inattentive or hard to reach, it begins to chip away at your credibility.
They may start to question your manners, professionalism, reliability, your emotional intelligence; even your leadership potential.
Respectful communication is good manners. It’s also a signal of respect and communicates much about your #personalbrand.
It tells people who you are and whether they want to trust, work with, or follow your #leadership.
If you’re serious about leading, growing, and earning trust, how you communicate is the best place to begin:

![You wear the white coat. But what else do your patients see?
Your #personalbrand can and should humanize your care.
Here’s how I’d brand myself as a modern #doctor.??
If I were a doctor, I wouldn’t just lean on my board certification, where I did my residency and my white coat.
I’d define myself by my bedside manner, my calm under pressure, and my ability to explain complex health issues in a way people understand.
I’d lean into my core values: I value trust, dignity, and proactive health.
And I’d be clear about the problems I solve:
→ I help anxious patients feel seen and heard.
→ I simplify chronic care for families juggling too much.
→ I make preventive care approachable, not scary.
Then I’d communicate it all by:
Creating a clear, caring public voice (online - Substack, LinkedIn or YouTube or offline - speaking engagements, teaching, publications).
Sharing stories of how I empower my patients, not just treat them.
Publishing health explainers: “Here’s what your blood test really means”
Being a doctor isn’t just about medicine.
It’s about your presence, your ability to break down complex medical concepts, and connecting with those who rely on you for their #medicalcare.
That’s your #personalbrand in action.

We’re both former TV producers who used to tell stories about #culture and identity.
So when we found ourselves near the Mashantucket Pequot Museum, we had to stop.
And wow. The museum, run by the Pequot Tribal Nation, was moving; so rich in history and pride.
What really hit me was how much it reminded us of who we are.
We’ve always connected over a love of storytelling, our deep respect for heritage, and the joy of learning about people and cultures, wherever they are.
Check out the Pequot museum. They've done a great job at telling the story and culture of the pequot tribal nation of Mashantucket

And I’d communicate my brand like this:
Show up online with more than just food pics. i'd talk about why the ingredients matter, how my grandmother inspired this dish, or what healing through food looks like.
Maybe I’d brand my kitchen as a lifestyle space rooted in wellness, community, or joy.
I might even create a signature experience like “Dinner + Dialogue” where food and values come together.
Your personal brand as a chef isn’t just your plating.
It’s your point of view and the impact you leave on people’s plates and lives.

→ I create space for underrepresented stories to be heard.
→ I help my audience feel less alone in their journey.
→ I translate expert insights into everyday wisdom.

How I’d communicate my value:
✔️Establish a strong, clear point of view for the show.
✔️Use brand storytelling on social media: “Here’s why I launched this episode…”
✔️Create a visual identity that matches the tone of your voice: bold, soulful, witty, grounded — whatever you are.
? I'd also:
→ Build an ecosystem around the podcast — lead magnets, guest quotes, toolkits, live events.
→ Reuse episodes as blog posts, short clips, audiograms.
→ Anchor the show in one big promise: “You’ll always leave here with something real.”

You’re not new to this, you’ve been doing the work.
But when it comes to defining who you are and the unique value you bring?
That’s where things get cloudy.
If you’re a mid-career professional, especially a woman, you may feel like your impact speaks for itself.
But in today’s fiercely competitive professional landscape, doing great work isn’t always enough.
You have to know your value—and own it. Then be able to effectively convey it.
That’s why I created the Own Your Value™ Personal Branding Masterclass—a self-paced course that helps you:
Define your personal brand
Not in vague terms—but by getting clear on who you are, what drives you, and the distinct value you deliver through your skills.
? Own your value at work
Learn how to lead with that clarity, align your brand with your goals, and solve the right problems—strategically and confidently.
? Communicate your value in high-stakes moments
So when it’s time for a job interview, a promotion conversation, or a room full of decision-makers, you speak from a place of confidence and clarity—not guesswork.
You’ll get video lessons, workbooks, real strategies, live Q&As, and feedback to help you build a brand that’s lived, not just spoken.
This is not your standard personal branding course built around digital metrics and visibility.
It’s about grounding your identity in who you are, leveraging your skills and finally being seen for the value you already bring.

Why Stories Win Over Statistics Everytime 💯 in #PublicSpeaking You can’t move hearts with spreadsheets. As I told my client recently, "You can inform with data but to connect? You need a story." In Part 2 of this series on memorable speaking, I talk about how to humanize your message with #storytelling. At a recent academic conference, I watched a faculty member deliver slide after slide of brilliant research. But she did one thing right: she told a human story around each data point she referenced. 📌 If you want your audience to remember your message, ask yourself: ✔️“What’s the one idea I want them to leave with?” ✔️…and “What real, human story can make that message land?” If you’re ready to craft your message in a way that sticks, explore my Own the Room coaching at humejohnson.com or reach out directly. 🎥 Watch Part 2 now — and share if you’ve ever sat through a data-heavy talk that needed some soul. #Storytelling #PublicSpeakingTips #OwnTheRoom #PersonalBranding #LeadershipCommunication #CommunicationSkillsButton -

![Nearly 70% of professionals say they struggle to communicate their value at work, in #performancereviews, #jobinterviews, and even day-to-day leadership.
That’s not a communication problem.
That’s a clarity problem.
Many high-performing professionals excel at tasks but falter when asked simple questions such as
?? “What do you do?
?? What’s your unique contribution to your company's mission?”*
?? “Why should we hire you?”
If you can’t clearly articulate your strengths, your impact, or what sets you apart, your career can plateau, even if your skills are exceptional*.
This is where #personalbranding becomes critical—not as a buzzword, but as a strategic framework for career development as well as personal credibility, and influence.

Nearly 70% of professionals say they struggle to communicate their value at work, in #performancereviews, #jobinterviews, and even day-to-day leadership. That’s not a communication problem. That’s a clarity problem. Many high-performing professionals excel at tasks but falter when asked simple questions such as 👉🏾 “What do you do? 👉🏾 What’s your unique contribution to your company's mission?”* 👉🏾 “Why should we hire you?” If you can’t clearly articulate your strengths, your impact, or what sets you apart, your career can plateau, even if your skills are exceptional*. This is where #personalbranding becomes critical—not as a buzzword, but as a strategic framework for career development as well as personal credibility, and influence. 🎯 My work focuses on helping leaders and mid-career professionals uncover, define, and communicate their value with clarity and confidence—online and in real life.

Let's rethink #personalbranding. It's not about self-promotion, chasing likes and followers or curating a perfect feed on #socialmedia. Personal branding is a strategic process of self-clarity (*some people prefer to say "self-discovery". It asks: ✔️Who are you? ✔️What do you bring to the table? ✔️Why does it matter in your field? These aren’t superficial questions. They are the foundation of how we show up as professionals. Many still dismiss personal branding as fluff. Yet, in today’s competitive and hyper-visible world, those who lead with clarity, know their purpose, and exude presence are the ones who earn trust, build influence, and lamd opportunities. Your personal brand is a #leadership asset.

I discussed why we must rethink how we position ourselves and communicate our value.
Too often, we confuse our degree, our job title, the *company we work for, or the *years of experience we’ve accumulated with our #personalbrand and true value.
But these are external markers. They don’t speak to who you are, how you lead, or the impact you make.
✅ A degree signals that you underwent a period of study but not the unique perspective or value you bring.
✅ A job title or company name is borrowed credibility, not your identity.
✅ Years of experience reflect time spent at a job, not necessarily the problems you solved, the results or value delivered.
These are outdated career management strategies? They keep us blindfolded into a shortchanging ourselves.
Your personal brand is bigger than any of these.

![Let’s be honest. Building a strong #personalbrand is no longer optional.
If you can’t clearly articulate who you are, what you bring to the table, and why it matters, you risk being overlooked, no matter your job title or experience.
In 2012, when I started to speak, write and coach mid-career professionals about #personalbranding as a consequential #careermanagement strategy, it wasn't the buzzword it is today.
Unfortunately, although personal branding is more popular today, there is a lot of confusion about what it truly means and how to go about building a strong personal brand.
So, I wrote: Brand YOU! Reinvent Yourself, Redefine Your Future. It is a
practical roadmap for professionals and leaders who want to:
✅ Define their human skills and professional expertise.
✅ Communicate their unique value to potential employers, clients and customers.
✅ Build credibility before chasing visibility.
✅ Show as an effective and authentic leader.
This isn’t fluff.
Brand YOU! is now a featured text in two MBA programs on strategic leadership — because the ability to brand yourself is a leadership skill.
Whether you're looking to grow your influence, lead with confidence, or make your next career move — start here.

We talk a lot about owning the stage or leading in a physical room… But what about your virtual presence? If you’re presenting on #Zoom, running meetings, or showing up online for your career, you still need to command attention, connect through a screen, and speak with presence. In this video, I’m sharing a couple quick tips for speaking virtually with more confidence and clarity. And if you want deeper coaching on *how to truly own the room—on stage or on screen—*then join me. 🎤 OWN THE ROOM™: Public Speaking Fast Track 📅 Saturday, June 7 ⏰ 10AM–12PM ET 💻 Live on Zoom Let’s build your presence—wherever you’re speaking from.

That’s what I teach now - how to stop overthinking your speech and start owning the room.

✅ Second-guess your ideas
✅ Struggle to sound smart without sounding stiff
✅ Want to speak with calm, not chaos inside your mind.
It’s not about more prep.

We worked on her #personalbrand, helped her own her value, and shaped a #leadershipethos that she could lean into with confidence.

![✨ What 20+ Years of Coaching Public Speaking Has Taught Me
It’s not about having a “perfect” voice.
It’s not about being polished or poised every second.
The real power in speaking?
Being real.
I’ve coached executives, emerging leaders, creatives, and change-makers—and the ones who truly own the room aren’t always the loudest or most polished.
They’re the ones who show up as their full, honest selves…
Who speak to connect, not just to perform.
Who know how to bring their story, their values, their presence into the room.
That’s what moves people.
That’s what builds trust.
That’s what leaves a lasting impression.

(* I warn clients about over-rehearsing. a presentation is a talk, not a recital).
Yet, once you spoke, your talk still didn’t land.

You wrote the notes. Practiced your script. Rehearsed in the mirror. (* I warn clients about over-rehearsing. a presentation is a talk, not a recital). Yet, once you spoke, your talk still didn’t land. This is because #speaking isn’t just about preparation. It’s about presence. Who you are and how you show up in any room. In my Own the Room Public Speaking Fast Track workshop (June 7), I teach you how to stop sounding rehearsed, and starting sounding real. Effective speaking is not about sounding polished and perfect - it’s about being believable. It’s about connecting with your audience.

![“You’re apologizing for your presence. Go back out, and when you return, occupy space.”
That was the moment everything shifted for me.
I was just 17 years old, stepping into my very first #publicspeaking class—an eager teenager with a big dream of becoming a communicator.
I wasn’t nervous, exactly. I was unsure. Unclear of what I brought to the stage. Uncertain of how to “own” a room.
The class was led by Wycliffe Bennett, a commanding British gentleman who had trained some of #Jamaica’s finest voices.
On the day of our first audition, I walked into the room, ready to speak. But he stopped me.
“Walk back out,” he said.
Then again...And again.
Each time, I walked in - confused, trying harder. Until he said words I’ve never forgotten:
? “You are apologizing for your presence... Occupy space”
I didn’t even realize my #bodylanguage was betraying my confidence.
That I was shrinking myself before I even said a word.
That day taught me a truth I’ve seen over and over again in my years as a speaking and #communicationcoach:
➡️ You can be articulate, polished, even impressive on paper but if your presence doesn’t match your message, people will feel the disconnect.
Yet, presence isn’t just about posture or polish.
It’s deeper.
It comes from alignment between your voice, your message, and your sense of self, your #personalbrand.
In my 2-hour virtual workshop, Own the Room™, I teach The HUME Method™—my signature approach to helping professionals:
✅ Speak with credibility, not just performance
✅ Build confidence without pretense
✅ Project presence rooted in their personal brand
Whether you lead meetings, speak on panels, or simply want to be taken seriously when you speak, this is for you.

![You speak in meetings… and then spend the next hour replaying what you said.
“Did that make sense?”
“Was I too much?”
“Should I have said less?”
“Should I have known the answer to that question?”

It’s a #confidence problem.
In my OWN THE ROOM: Public Speaking Fast Track Workshop (June 7), I’ll teach you how to speak clearly and confidently.
So you stop second-guessing and start owning your message.

![This was me 17 years ago, speaking at an academic conference in #Jamaica.
I rehearsed every word. Still, when it was time to speak, I felt… unsure.
I thought I just needed to know more.
But the real missing piece???
Most #publicspeaking advice teaches what to say.
But no one teaches you how to BE.
✨ How to show up with confidence.
✨ How to have presence, authenticity and ease.
That’s what I teach now - how to stop overthinking your speech and start owning the room.
? Own the Room™ is for you if you:
✅ Second-guess your ideas
✅ Struggle to sound smart without sounding stiff
✅ Want to speak with calm, not chaos inside your mind.
It’s not about more prep.
It’s about alignment between YOU (who you are at corea) and your message.
