The Be Group is the go-to Personal Branding Consultancy in the UK offering a plethora of international clients with interactive, actionable and purpose driven training and coaching.

We facilitate workshops and coaching for corporate clients to assist their employees in enhancing their career trajectory and leadership impact. Our primary focus is in helping the employees understand the power of their profile and how their personal brand affects the business trajectory. We believe that each individual needs to identify what they want their personal brand to be; the brand is a unique illustration of their character, knowledge and skill set. The personal brand they create should make an immediate impact which is evident before they have spoken, during the conversation and leaving a lasting legacy after the conversation.

We want every employee to understand how to build their personal brand, communicate effectively, build a positive reputation, build relationships with key stakeholders, network, build an online brand persona and continue to evolve who they are. Our personal branding services help individuals to define themselves as an asset, which includes but is not limited to physical presentation, approach, communication and knowledge (PACK). All of these key attributes lead to a brand that leaves an indelible impression that is uniquely apparent. Self-positioning of this nature can lead to career advancement.

We listen to the needs and aims of every organisation that we work with to ensure that we are providing them with a bespoke solution across the career life cycle of the teams they support.

We have worked with house hold names in the corporate world, education and tech from early talent to senior leader, implementing a strategy that works for all.

We all want financial freedom. But we also know just how much pressure the subject of money exerts on us, and many of us feel our personal finances are out of control. But that's not surprising - after all, no-one ever explained how to manage money properly - or if they did, we didn't listen.

If a head-in-the-sand approach to personal finance ever worked, it doesn't now. Not only do we openly worry about the state of our finances and the cost of living, we increasingly yearn for the kind… Show more

We all want financial freedom. But we also know just how much pressure the subject of money exerts on us, and many of us feel our personal finances are out of control. But that's not surprising - after all, no-one ever explained how to manage money properly - or if they did, we didn't listen.

If a head-in-the-sand approach to personal finance ever worked, it doesn't now. Not only do we openly worry about the state of our finances and the cost of living, we increasingly yearn for the kind of financial independence which will enable us to do our own thing and live life to the full. This paradox is right at the heart of everything we do, and a solution is needed.

This book will teach you everything you should have learned about money at school - but didn't. It will stop you waking in the middle of the night to check you have enough money for your home, your childcare, your summer holiday or your secret masterplan.

And the process of learning how to embrace, not hide, from your financial responsibilities will release you from layers of anxiety, shame and confusion.

You will learn how to be rich forever - rich in time, rich in freedom, rich in opportunity. It will revolutionise the way you think and feel about money and free you to grow! Show less
