Have you ever faced the daunting task of pitching an idea to your CEO or recording a 2-minute video for LinkedIn??
If the thought alone makes you want to run and hide, you’re not alone.
I used to feel the same dread about putting myself out there.?
It wasn’t until I did some inner work that I overcame my fear of visibility.?
In today’s YouTube video, I share my 3Ps of personal branding framework to help introverts stand out and accelerate their professional growth.
The 3Ps of Personal Branding for Introverts
1. Performance Mindset?
Having the right mindset is crucial for personal branding.?For a long time, I operated with an employee mindset, believing my work should “speak for itself.”?This often led to me being overlooked. It wasn’t until I embraced an intrapreneurial mindset that things changed.?
By taking a proactive approach and promoting my work, I began to stand out.?Remember, there’s a big difference between self-promotion and bragging.?
As Bozoma St. John wisely said, “Nobody was talking about me until I started talking about me.”

2. Pitch Yourself?
Quiet mouths don’t get fed.?One of my introverted clients challenged herself to always take on high-visibility projects.?This showcased her expertise and got her noticed by key decision-makers.?I encourage you to do the same.

3. Presence?Online

Remember, it’s not just about working in your job but also about your visibility.
Bonus Tip: Self-Care and Recharging
Understanding your Human Design energy type can be a game-changer.?Your energy is your currency, and aligning with it makes a huge difference.? Don’t feel guilty about needing downtime.?Schedule breaks for recharging and be clear about this in your messaging to set expectations with clients and colleagues.
By following these 3Ps of personal branding, you'll unlock your full potential as an introvert in your 9-to-5 job.?Stand out from the crowd and seize new opportunities for professional growth.

4 个月I do my best to avoid "labels" because they create limiting beliefs. But being an introvert is one of those labels that doesn't peel away easily. lol. But I have spoken on stages and presented to 30+ a youth leader as well. So, I have evidence to the contrary.

4 个月Great advice, as always Marielle Legair The employee mindset resonates which I think will with many people. We all have to be proactive in advocating for ourselves and making sure our work is acknowledged. I've learnt this the hard way over the years but can now see that it's essential. Great video.
