Message From Bobby Umar Welcome to DYPB15—Discover Your Personal Brand Conference 2015! I am really honoured and grateful you decided to join us. One of the main reasons we started this movement was because of thousands of people I’ve met over the years who felt ‘lost’ in their careers, whether it was corporate, entrepreneurial or academic. It’s okay to feel lost. We’ve all been there. But it’s not okay to do little about it. So definitely glad you made it out! To make the most of the day, I’d like to quote something that used to be at the top of every pop bottle, whether Pepsi, Coca-Cola or one of those bargain brands: “No Deposit. No Return.” Who knew how philosophically appropriate those words would be for this day? You must invest in yourself. You must invest in this event. You must invest in others. The more you do this, the more return you will get for it. So please come speak to me. Approach all the experts here. We all want to help you. Talk to one another. Share your stories, your struggles, your passions and connect on a deeper, more authentic level. Because that is how we are all going to make a difference. The people—you, the experts, the partners, the sponsors and the leadership team—are the ones who will make a difference. We hope you get the most out of this day. We hope you will join our movement and take DYPB to new levels where we can impact leaders year around. We hope you find inspiration, focus, tools, resources and more. Fight for your life. Fight for the life you want to live. The moment, that very day, you find that path of passion and purpose you know will make you deliriously happy the rest of your life, you’ll want to the rest of your life to start right away! Sending you love, gratitude & leadership Bobby Umar, President & Leadership Catalyst, Raeallan Curator DYPB (Discover Your Personal Brand) www.raeallan.com @raehanbobby DISCOVER YOUR PERSONAL BRAND
