Truly inspiring course overall, particularly because a good structure / exercises, such as the Mission Statement and Board of Directors.

One thing I would have loved to hear more about is the importance of LinkedIN rather than Twitter / Facebook. I believe LinkedIN is one of the most important platforms out there and was surprised it not being mentioned.

Regardless, good teaching and narrative!

first I want to thank Coursera for giving the opportunity to people who can't afford this types of courses to have if for free. Personally I did enjoy the course and feel I learned, if it can be better? of course there is always room to keep getting better, maybe update some of the content to what we are living now a days but overall I really liked it and the teacher was not boring at all.

Thanks for helping me shape out my life, explore myself deeply to see who I really am and what gift I could give to the world. this course is the best for me. Thank you that you have done this course for us. I might assume that many people around the world find out themself and become the best version of them from everything you and the course gave us.

Thank you very much for this course - by far the best part for me was Week 2 when we were helped to really identify who we are and how we project ourselves to ourselves and to others.

Thank you Kimberley for keeping the videos short and interesting (I find this vital to the success of MOOCs). I do however feel like the Quiz's could have been a little bit more challenging ;)

This was awesome. I learnt so much about personal and professional branding. Having your 3 little words which serve as a guideline in writing your mission statement. I also learnt about how to choose your board of directors, choosing the best social media etc. I will advice anyone that wants to learn about Personal branding to take this course. You will be so bless. Thanks

There was so much more information than I even thought possible, and it was only the introduction course. If I was to give any feedback, it would be updated update update! So much good info, but 2013/15/18 is nowhere near post-pandemic 2022. The links that were provided also required paying for subscriptions when only 3 pages are free and the PowerPoint is a lot longer.

Very insightlful. This was the first time I spent time on learning about building a personal brand. Have been aware of the concept but never got around to read / search etc about it. These 5 hours of condensed and specific lessons were very helpful. Finished it off in a day. Kimberly has organised the material very well and provides a nice overview re each sub topic.

i would definitely recommend this course to anyone who wants to be professional on social media , and in his whole life , you will learn a lot about making brand and manage your reputation , using social media to market for yourself well , the lecturer are so friendly , nice and funny person you will love her way of teaching and you will enjoy the course at all :)!

I would definitely give this course a lot more stars if they were available. The overall structure of the course was pretty good. This is my very first online course, so i don't think i will be the right person to judge this course. But overall it was a pretty good experience. Thanks a lot mam for the insightful knowledge that you've departed through this course.

I was gonna give 4 stars but now I actually realize I have learnt a lot from this course, all those small tips were very helpful to me and after reviewing I feel more confident by laying out a foundation for my personal brand along with this course, since it was sponsored by my college idk how much it costs but its pretty good. She is quite entertaining as well!

Este curso està muy enfocado yo creo para aquellas personas que tengan curiosidad sobre el personal branding o quieran mejorar su presencia online. Lo que encontraràs es un tinteo de lo que es el personal branding: encontraras algunas herramientas básicas que manejar al principio y te da una comprensio asi por encima de que trata el personal branding.

When starting the course I thought it's gonna be just another course with some philosophical theories and stuff but still wanted to give it a try.........And believe me it was totally worth it specially the personality assessment part, I was really impressed with the work. Thanks to Coursera and the University of Virginia for this wonderful course 😄

The course is really good for people to understand it's important to brand themselves first. The course will give people the understanding of the key components needs to build up the reputation and definitely one will have to continue to implement the learning.

As a guide Kimberley has done a great job in keeping the content crisp and to the point.

Kimberley Barker was a great instructor who used a lot of really thought-provoking content. She also engaged with different types of media, such as videos, podcasts, articles as supplemental material for the course. Everything she taught seemed very relevant, and she did a wonderful job of teaching you how to think outside your predisposition.

Thank you, Kimberley! I learn a lot from you and this course. I really think this course should be longer to have more videos and lectures to go deeper into each subject. I really love it and it has already helped me a lot during the process to find a job. Thank you so much, Kimberley, you are a totally unique an amazing person and teacher!

Great course and great teacher. I found the articles and lectures really helpful and easy to understand. I believe it gives a really good introduction to Personal Branding and the areas connected to it, I would have liked a bit more deepth in the subjects of the fifth week but the material provieded was good. Definitely a course worth taking.

This course was really great! I learned a lot of things, including my personality type. wich made me think a lot deeply of my choices. I finished the course in November 2015 and let me say, I really made use of it! Thanks a lot Kimberly - I still follow you on FB - Thanks Virginia University and Coursera, for sharing so many amazing courses.

I really liked the starting point of essentially saying who am I, what are my values, what are my goals - i.e. what is my brand? Working through those questions was very helpful. Practical topics of choosing your SM platforms and so forth provided very useful tools, as well. So a nice balance overall. Thanks so much, Kimberley!

It actually tells you a lot about how to use the internet safely and how you can improve from your situation. I totally enjoyed the class and Kimberley R. Barker is totally a boss lady. I loved the way she teaches. I think every high school student and undergraduate students should do this course it will be a lot helpful for them

This course is very practical and simple to understanding what is importantest to create a solid personal brand. Kimberly help us to create a true imagen about us like person and branding that is greatful to be a conection with people who thinking about things which we like and can past more information to improve our reality.

This was a nice course, provided by the University of Virginia.

I am thanking to to University of Virginia and also Coursera for making available this great course about personal branding. I am suggesting other students aur peoples who have not done this course please join course and take knowledge about such a valuable topic.

The course on "Personal Branding" has been truly insightful & amazing. So many new things to learn and know about. It gives a wholistic understanding of the subject. The techniques of interaction were great! Helps you to first listen, absorb and then pose your opinion/understanding on the subject matter. Much recommended!

Mam, Kimberley Barker has explained very nicely how photos should be posted on social media, the how-to creat in Alert search it's very useful, the importance of social media, your work, and authenticity, reputation management, got little idea about digital privacy. Very Happy for doing the Personality Branding Course.

Most of what was covered came off as common sense to me, however, there were small details like the number of social media accounts to use that did come off as beneficial. Also, learning the balance of personal use and professional use from this course has allowed me to better understand my brand and branding process.

Thanks Kimberley Barker and Coursera for a great course.

"Personal branding is no longer an option; it’s a powerful leadership enabler" and "Not a Self-Promotion Campaign"

It is important to identify the underlying values that may motivate change rather than focusing on a single behavior.
