Build your own brand
What is Personal Branding? Your personal brand is the values that your friends, family, co-workers, and the marketplace associates
with your name. What values do you stand for? How do you make that clear to the world around you? How do you achieve your goals by being clearer and more visible? By developing your Personal Branding. Personal Branding describes the process by which individuals differentiate themselves through identifying and articulating their unique value proposition (UVP) to achieve a specific goal. Many other people bring the same products, services and skills to the marketplace that you do. So why is it that some people just seem to stand out? Chances are, consciously or unconsciously, they have created their own unique personal brand. Personal Branding is not about applying a thin layer of veneer. It’s about getting in touch with your authentic self – what’s true and real and genuine about you.
