My Brand Academy for Individuals
Your personal brand is more than how you present yourself. It's how people understand who you are, what you stand for and the value you bring.
At My Brand Academy, we combine Identity Intelligence, world-class storytelling expertise and AI-enabled tools to help you understand what makes you distinctive, tell your story with confidence and build a personal brand that creates opportunity.
Understand your identity. Own your story. Shape your future.
FIND YOUR STARTING POINT
Whether you're discovering what makes you distinctive, preparing for your next opportunity or ready to build a more intentional personal brand, there's a place to begin.
Start by understanding yourself. Our free Personal Brand Assessment helps you explore your archetype, recognise your strengths and discover how others may experience you.
Your experience deserves to be understood. The Interview Playbook helps you communicate your strengths, experiences and potential through more compelling career stories.
For founders, leaders and ambitious professionals ready for greater clarity. Our Identity Compass experience helps you define your positioning, articulate your story and shape a personal brand strategy with purpose.
Your influence is only the beginning. The Creator Playbook helps creators and emerging talent turn their identity, audience and expertise into a distinctive brand with long-term value.
Different ambitions. Different journeys. One belief: your story is your strategy.
THE IDENTITY INTELLIGENCE DIFFERENCE
Most personal branding advice starts with how you look, what you post or how you promote yourself.
We start somewhere different. With who you are.
Our Identity Intelligence approach combines the principles of world-class storytelling with a deeper understanding of your identity, experiences and ambitions. Because the strongest personal brands aren't invented. They're discovered, understood and intentionally built.
Discover the patterns, experiences and perspectives that make you distinctive.
Turn what you've lived and learned into a story that gives your identity meaning and direction.
Translate that understanding into a personal brand and strategy that creates opportunity.
Your Story Is Your Strategy.
Understand who you are. Build who you become.

Creator of Identity Intelligence
The story behind the system
For more than two decades, I have worked across entertainment, brands and leadership, helping shape stories for globally recognised franchises, organisations and people.
Again and again, I saw the same pattern.
The people with the greatest potential were not always the people who were most clearly understood.
They had experience, ability and ambition. What they often lacked was a way to interpret their story and express it with clarity.
That insight became the foundation of My Brand Academy and Identity Intelligence.
Your Story Is Your Strategy.
Identity Intelligence brings together storytelling, personal branding, professional experience and research to help people understand who they are, so they can intentionally build who they become.
