ARTICLES in 10 steps
LIBRARY By Rose Leadem
Your personal brand communicates your value to the world — not
only to potential employers, but to everyone. It is essential today
for personal development, career advancement and even
establishing yourself as a leader. Expressing who you are, what you
do and why you do it will help you position yourself for success and
open doors of opportunity.
Today, much of personal branding is done through your online
presence, which often means your social media accounts. But before
jumping to Instagram to post a couple of pictures that you think
“represent” you, take a few steps back. Developing a strong personal
brand won’t happen overnight.

Having a professional purpose, practicing your writing, understanding

your competition, utilizing social media (not just on Facebook) —
these are only a number of steps to take to build your brand.
Take a look at these 10 steps to help you strategize building your best
personal brand.
1. Get a professional headshot
Your new professional image starts with an image. Smiling and
dressing sharply make you more competent, likeable and influential.

2. Be discoverable online
Someone somewhere will be searching for you at some point in your
career. Use your real name on the internet and optimize your social
media profiles for discovery.
3. Have a professional purpose

What gets you out of bed in the morning? What helps you be better at
what you do? A professional purpose is way more than a pay check.

4. Learn to listen & practise empathy

To have a well-rounded personal brand, you need to strike the balance
between what you know and what you have yet to learn and
understand.
5. Practise writing

Think before you jot down and share your thoughts on online and
hone your writing skills over time.

6. Re-engineer your digital presence

Keep all you social profiles up to date and add social channels to all
your professional touch points.
7. Analyse your competitors

Make time to understand what other people in your niche are doing
and saying, and how successful they are.

8. Craft your personal branding statement

Include your audience, mission, value, and avoid using buzzwords!
