Are you hiding away your talent?

chickHuman beings often don't realise what makes them uniqely special and talented which is why I make it my job to do so! Everyone is a unique brand but we are so close to ourselves that we find it hard to see this.

Knowing what makes you unique helps you to define your personal brand so that you can market yourself to ensure you create the perceptions in the minds and hearts of your target audience whether customers or employer. This will increase the liklihood of success.
 
Isn't it time you allowed yourself to hatch and liberate your talent? When market conditions are challenging, it's even more important to be focused and single minded in your communication.

5 FREE tips to define your personal brand
Whether you are employed or self employed, below are
5 things to help you think about  your personal brand:female  
 
  1. Ask people for feedback about their perceptions of you.
  2. Reflect on your qualities, skills and life and work experiences. What stands out?
  3. Define your target audience, both demographics e.g. age and behaviour
  4. Research the current/future needs of your target audience
  5. Identify the sweet spot - what makes you different AND meets their needs? 
 
Defining your personal brand is just the start. Then you need to think about how, where and when to consistently communicate it to manage your brand and reputation. This is even more important now with social media.
 
Why is having a personal brand so vital?
  • applesYou stand out clearly and positively from your competitors
  • It helps you focus your communication
  • There are more people going for less jobs so you will be on top of the pile
  • You come across as strategic which is key the higher up you go
 
But remember, it is important to review and update your personal brand to make sure that it is still relevant for changing markets and needs!
