It was an absolutely necessary course! Firstly, because I support the basic ideas of the course, secondly - because I am aware of my personal promotion in the digital environment and thirdly - but not least - the course has suggested multiple ideas about my subsequent activity, on my Facebook and Instagram pages. Thank you! It is a kind of awakening to reality and the acceptance of rules that we simply have to follow!

It's an awesome course and the teacher has the expertise and experience. It's really good to start but I think this exercise goes a little beyond an jntroductory thing. My only suggestion would be regarding the name because if I want to have this certificate in LinkedIn, for exampl6, the word introduction it's not very good... But thanks, it's really awesome, and the teaching is very good, fresh and unique.

Nice introduction to this concept that is not very covered where I live, in France. I think this is the first step to build something great, not only in business, but also in al the field in where we are engaged, associatives, personal life. The study materials are very interesting and the teacher is very funny. I learned as much as I laughed in font of my laptop :) Thanks to her to give all these good advices !

Do you wonder why you have more talent when compared to others but are never recognized for it?There are many smart and talented people in the world, yet only a few get the recognition they deserve.

Personal branding is the key to unlock all this.... Thanks to Kimberley R Barker for enriching me with these skills and Coursera too.

Wonderful and informative course. No much focus on peer-review stuffs which usually wastes our time. However, I didn't like the google password security suggestion included in the course as my password got copromised due to their negligence. My instagram got hacked immediately due to google data breach. Google made life so stressed after data breach so I shifted to ddg, Mozilla, tutanota or Ecosia completely.

I really loved this course. The instructor, Kimberley, was engaging and just all around fun. I wanna hang out with her at her favorite building or under her favorite tree and just drink tea and chit chat. She loves what she does, loves helping others, loves to watch you succeed. I suppose I'm assuming all of this but I just feel it to be truth. The course is fun, easy, and you leave feeling like you got this.

This is one of the most refreshing MOOCs I have ever done. Be careful, you are not enrolling for a classic course, where you have people with formal postures standing in front of a green screen and weird slides. You are enrolling for Kimberley R's course. It is her way of teaching. And basically, she is really engaging and decicated to her "learners". Great course! Thanks University of Virginia :)

Loved this course. I myself am engaged in blogging and have a personal brand, but I did not know that it takes so much efforts and behind the scene works apart from the content that I put to engage the audience. This Course definitely gave me more insight on how to keep my audience engaged and how to not loose the main essence of my brand. Thank you so much for the raw and informative lectures.

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. From me (peeraya.pol@gmail.com)

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.
