Working IN your job or your business is not the same as working ON your career or business. Getting ahead, growing your career or expanding your business means more than just getting your work done.

To take control of your future means understanding what your value added is, leveraging this knowledge, and then effectively communicating it in all the right places and to all the right people. How you position yourself in the eyes of your target audience and communicate your Personal Brand is key to your success and professional growth.

Whether you are a careerist working inside an organization or an entrepreneur or small business owner, your success is determined by how others view you – your reputation is your personal brand.

A STRONG PERSONAL BRAND means greater:

  • Self confidence – the ability to target success and achieve it
  • Credibility – be known for your expertise, consistency, reliability
  • Influence – stronger influencing skills lead to greater impact
  • Self awareness – when you know your strengths, you can manage your reputation
  • Authenticity – you can be who you are in everything you do
  • Distinction – stand out from the crowd for all the right reasons
  • Visibility – communicate your brand on and off line

A STRONG PERSONAL BRAND also means:

  • Increased income – success has its rewards
  • A clear direction – clearer goals and a more defined path
  • Increased career satisfaction – acknowledgement from others, control over your own destiny, doing what you love

WHAT WE CAN DO TOGETHER:

  • Realize your strengths and leverage them
  • Uncover your personal brand
  • Expand your network with purpose
  • Develop a communications plan that delivers the message you want
  • Set attainable goals
  • Take control of your career/business – know where you are going and how to get there

You are unique; so how you perform at work, running your business, or relating to colleagues and clients reflects that special add on that only you can provide.  A coach skilled in personal and leadership branding and career management can help you navigate through this process to ensure a greater understanding of your personal brand.

Do not follow where the path
may lead.
Go instead where there is no path and
leave a trail.
