    BE UNFORGETABLE

    Personal branding is about managing your name — even if you don’t own a business — in a world of misinformation, disinformation, and semi-permanent Google records. Going on a date? Chances are that your blind date has Googled your name. Going to a job interview? Ditto.

    – Tim Ferris

    As a young business journalist in 2007, I found myself in an environment that was dominated by strong male journalists who understood financial journalism. Like a deer in the lights, I was mostly intimidated. I had no idea how the stock market worked and couldn’t begin to understand a financial report, let alone dissect it, as was required of any business journalist worth their salt.

    I distinctly remember a press conference organised by the Central Bank of Kenya, where the governor at the time, Professor Njuguna Ndung’u was giving an update on the economy and the performance of the shilling. Terms like Floating exchange rates, liberalised capital accounts, monetary easing and many more that I couldn’t relate to were said, as journalists penned away. I spent the whole morning feeling like a complete fraud.

    One morning after a live crossing with the CNBC Africa Johannesburg studio, my former boss at KBC Wachira Waruru rang me, and said he could tell that I wasn’t up to speed with Global economic news. After scolding me about it, he asked me to read the Business daily every morning, The Economist and Harvard Business Review, and that from time to time he would watch to see my progress. Thanks to that, it is a habit I have learned to keep until today.

    After that conversation I slowly began to understand how the wheels of the world economy are oiled, and it was then that I fell in love with reporting on finance and economics with a focus on Africa.

    I made a habit to read the Investopedia website every morning to understand stock market and economic jargon, I bought a finance directory and a few books on economics just to help me get started.

    Through this process I learned that people respect those who know what they’re doing. As a clueless journalist in the first few months, I had grown to be one of the best business journalists in the country.

    I learned the art of conversation, how to get the best out of an interview mostly from reading the news globally and watching business TV channels like Bloomberg, CNBC and Fox. I began to understand different sectors that I reported on and what made them tick, I learned how to research and most importantly I had grown a network of Policy Makers,
