What Impact Do You Want to Make on the World?

Personal Branding:

If you were to ask your closest friends how they’d describe you to someone they just met, what do you think they’d say? Whether you like it or not, we all have a personal brand. The question is: What is your personal brand, and what do you want it to be?

Discover Your Current Brand: Asking your friends is a great way to find out what you’re known for. This exercise might also help you identify your strengths and potential career paths. Additionally, consider what type of advice people usually seek from you.

Define What You Want: Reflect on what you want from life and how you want to present yourself. Consider these questions:

• What types of activities make you feel the most alive?
• What types of activities drain you?
• How do you want to balance these activities?
• How does the best version of yourself shows up in the world?
• How does this look and feel?

Take Action: Once you have a clear idea of how you want to present yourself, start taking small, consistent steps toward that goal. Remember, big changes are made through consistent micro-actions. You can become anyone you want to be if you are consistent and disciplined about your actions and decisions. Focus on who you are today and who you want to be and watch your personal brand blossom. Go out and show the world who you are!
