Like with any trusted advisor, you don’t have to journey this path alone. One of our Advisors can help you uncover your brand value.
Know Your Value In The Marketplace
Brand Identity
People who have successfully branded themselves are always known for something specific.
Think about the influencers, the storytellers, and the game changers whom you follow as a social, corporate or consumer brand.
I believe each person we refer to as influencers, thought leaders, or my favorite title, “Futurists”, have tapped into and turned on their X Factor.
The reality is you are a brand.
However, like many of our clients when we first meet them, you may or may not be aware of your brand identity, much less your X Factor.
Brand Influence
While you may be aware of the unique combination of skills, experience and image you want the world to see of you, the world is primed by the telling of your story and how it reflects your conduct, behavior, spoken and unspoken words and attitudes.
Your professional brand is everything that you bring to your seat at the table whether that is a board room, conference stage or client discussion.
It includes your instinctual skills you’ve developed, your values along with how you show up and add value to any situation.
Your professional brand is ultimately not about you - it’s about the perception others have of you based on the value you bring to them or the experience you create.
That is what makes branding so critical for today’s leaders and a conscious leadership approach to it is so important.
Brand Evidence
Whether we like it or not, we leave behind us more evidence of who we truly are than ever before. This has created a new component of our overall reputation.
Today’s executives must be conscious of their offline reputation and their online reputation and for a genuine personal brand, both should align.
While your professional brand is distinguished from your organization’s brand, they are interconnected.
In today’s world, rising leaders must ensure their personal brand is complimentary to your organization’s brand, especially for business leaders who have or are seeking roles of greater responsibility or visibility.
