This time we focus on FOCUS.

As a reminder, here's my definition of Integrated Executive Branding:

Executive branding is designed for current and aspiring executive leaders who want to build a strong professional reputation, laying the groundwork for success and advancing their careers to the next level.

Integrated executive branding extends traditional executive branding by focusing not just on the leader’s personal reputation but also on the performance and success of your team. This approach involves coaching both you the executive and your leadership team, empowering everyone to elevate their personal brands and leadership skills. As team members excel and align with your vision, their collective success enhances your brand and reinforces your reputation as a successful transformational leader.

Just before Christmas, I was defrosting the freezer in the garage. In order to do so I had to unplug the cable from the extension lead. I had to be careful not to drop the freezer cable otherwise it would have fallen behind the freezer and the large wine cooler that were both too heavy for me to move to retrieve it (husband was out and I needed to do this!!). Therefore I focused on, 'don't drop the cable, don't drop the cable....' and you've guessed it I dropped the cable! Very similar to telling a child to be careful not to spill the drink...........they focus on not spilling the drink and yes spill it!

So focus does work but of course you have to make sure you focus on the positive outcome and not on what you don't want to happen.

In my coaching programs, agreeing and setting a clear objective that we can focus on for all the actions we put in place, is critical to success. That's why I'll always be there to keep you on track with your short and long term goals. It's a perfect time of year to get your leadership and executive branding goal clarified and articulated.

Q: Why should I focus on my executive brand and how is it relevant to my role?

A: As an executive, your brand isn’t just about you - it’s about how you’re perceived by your team, stakeholders, and industry. A strong executive brand amplifies your credibility, opens doors to new opportunities, strengthens your leadership influence, and reinforces your ability to lead with authority in a competitive environment.

Your executive brand directly impacts your ability to lead effectively. It demonstrates your vision, inspires trust, and communicates the value you bring to your organization and the market. It’s also a critical asset in shaping how you’re recognized and remembered by your peers and stakeholders, in other words how you build your reputation.
