I have learned, as the slow learner that I am, that visibility is more important in developing ones own personal brand than skills alone.

Just joined toastmasters, picked up a no. of books, and learning about communication frameworks.

I plan to record myself and watch them back to make a list. Then will take one item, that if resolved, would bring the highest ROI in maintaining positive audience attention and executive presence.

Any feedback on my method choice?

Just a note: initially it's cringing (and embarrassing) watching and listening to yourself on a recording. Over time, though, you'll become accustomed to it and you'll figure out how to best present yourself on and off camera.

Most of all, though: Have fun with it.

Pro tip: start with a mirror.

Great start! When you have recorded yourself a few times, try turning the camera on your audience when you present. You can learn a lot from watching them watch your presentation!

I'm an introverted person, like to keep to myself, focus on work, spend the rest of my time on family, gym etc. I've been told that I need to work on my communication and client relationship building skills. any books I can read? I don't follow pop. culture anymore, no longer actively follow team sports (but sporty myself) as I consider it bread and circus for the masses and don't rly enjoy work drinks... Am I doomed? Personally I am happy and love the work but fear for my career progression.
