Brand You 2.0
Are your peers excited when you walk into a meeting or do they roll their eyes? Do they read your emails first or skip right over them? Do they suggest you for projects or new roles? Todd Averett and I discuss how to measure your personal brand and improve it by focusing on four principles:
- Character - do you do what you say you’re going to do consistently
- Competence - what skills do you offer, do you know your stuff
- How you “show up" - do you present yourself professionally
- Relationships - how strong are your connections with others
Discover your unique value and keep refining your talents to keep increasing your organizational worth.
