AI headshots might look polished—but at what cost?

We’ve all seen the rise of AI-generated profile photos.

I won’t deny that I’ve tried it…what would I look like with gray hair, or 20 pounds slimmer, or on a yacht with long flowy hair alongside Fabio… sorry I digress.

Here’s my point: when your headshot doesn’t even look like you, it’s not just a filter—it’s an identity shift it’s really damaging to your personal branding.

I know you’re probably saying, I don’t have a brand, I’m an employee at a large firm. Or, I don’t want to stand out I’m an introvert and would rather live in a cabin in the woods with my 15 cats.

The truth is:

  • Real connection comes from authenticity.

  • Confidence doesn’t need to be manufactured.

  • Your real face tells your story—and that story deserves to be seen.

I talk about this (and more) in my book, OWN IT – The Essential Guide to Crafting Your Personal Brand. It’s about showing up fully, unapologetically, and powerfully—as yourself.
