If you’ve ever walked in a wooded area that isn’t tainted by the everyday sounds of voices, cars, booming music, and machinery, you might hear what I mean.

'"How do you manage your brand?" I get asked that question really often, especially at public-venue speaking events. Typically, I sigh. It is not that the question is silly, or the questioner shallow, but because this question itself represents so much of what is stopping all of us from doing work that matters. We talk about "reinventing your brand" when in reality the goal is to reinvent what you work on.
