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.

Stefano Principato's insight:

This grid obviously gives us four very different style “types” that we can label. For the purposes of simplicity the diagram below labels each of the four coaching style types with one single adjective.
