Etiquette goes beyond formal settings and needs to be exercised even in social media in being respectful of who you tag and for what; to provide common courtesy and common sense when posting photos of others and even in email how we address others to keep in mind that brevity in text form can come across and brash and disrespectful.

10 Steps To Effective Listening

10 Steps To Effective Listening | Personal Branding & Leadership Coaching | Scoop.it

In today’s high-tech, high-speed, high-stress world, communication is more important then ever, yet we seem to devote less and less time to really listening to one another. Genuine listening has become a rare gift—the gift of time. It helps build relationships, solve problems, ensure understanding, resolve conflicts, and improve accuracy. At work, effective listening means fewer errors and less wasted time. At home, it helps develop resourceful, self-reliant kids who can solve their own problems. Listening builds friendships and careers. It saves money and marriages.


Via The Learning Factor, Katherine Bryant, David Hain
Stefano Principato's insight:
  1. Face the speaker and maintain eye contact.
  2. Be attentive, but relaxed.
  3. Keep an open mind.
  4. Listen to the words and try to picture what the speaker is saying.
  5. Don’t interrupt and don’t impose your “solutions.
  6. Wait for the speaker to pause to ask clarifying questions.
  7. Ask questions only to ensure understanding.
  8. Try to feel what the speaker is feeling.
  9. Give the speaker regular feedback.
  10. Pay attention to what isn’t said—to nonverbal cues.

10 hard skills to learn that will last a lifetime 

10 hard skills to learn that will last a lifetime  | Personal Branding & Leadership Coaching | Scoop.it
To survive growing up on a remote cattle ranch in the middle of Wyoming, I needed to be scrappy, gritty, and tenacious. If I wasn’t keeping an eye out for rattle snakes, I was avoiding horned bulls from charging my horse as I tried to cut them from a herd of cows.
 
 I learned many important life lessons on that ranch, not the least is that it takes hard work, sweat, and mental toughness to get to the top and stay there. I took many of those lessons with me into the FBI as an undercover and counterintelligence agent for 24 years.

Talent is Everything, and Talent Can Be Developed

Talent is Everything, and Talent Can Be Developed | Personal Branding & Leadership Coaching | Scoop.it
What are Mindsets?How would you answer this question? “Is a person’s intelligence fixed and unchangeable?” It turns out that the way you answer this and related questions influences how successful you will be.  This the idea that Carol Dweck outlines in her terrific book Mindset.  

In a very good review of the book, Alex Vermeer provides this summary:

Your mindset is the view you have of your qualities and characteristics – where they come from and whether they can change.


This graphic by Nigel Holmes summarises the kinds of outcomes that result from the different mindsets.

Defining your personal brand: what are your attributes & skills?

Defining your personal brand: what are your attributes & skills? | Personal Branding & Leadership Coaching | Scoop.it

Sometimes, our lives move so fast that we don’t always stop to assess where we’re going, whether our current career goals are truly aligned with what we desire for our lives. I’ve certainly been guilty of that myself. However, when taking on a new role or facing a turning point in your career, you may often find yourself reevaluating who you really are, what you stand for, and ultimately, how to align your professional career with your core identity. In other words, defining who you are as a brand.

Stefano Principato's insight:
  • What are your top 3 technical or functional skills?
    E.g., IRI XLeratePlus analytics, budget management, media planning.
  • What are your top 3 transferrable or softer skills?
    E.g., cross-functional teamwork, persuasion, leadership.
  • Which skills are you most proud of?
    Once you have a list of your skills, be selective about which to highlight when communicating with others.
