A useful starter task is to go through your CV or a past job application. Next to your work experience, label each one with as many specific transferable skills as you can identify. Making your skills visible in this way can clarify how you could brand yourself in different contexts. Another useful exercise is to list your core values in the workplace and in life. Look at your values list and your skills list together. How could your skills move you closer to aligning your career with your values? When grounded in both skills and values, your personal brand becomes more authentic and appealing. It's always easier to promote something you genuinely beleive in.
