Personal Branding...

Never knew... I am a brand! I am even thinking about a slogan (will keep it secret for now)! Yesterday I went to a workshop about personal branding and I was really inspired! The workshop was about how to create an original CV and how to make yourself irresistable when you apply for a job. I learned a lot about myself, surely a lot of positive things: my competencies, my passions, my talents, my curiosities, etc... I also learned that I could change a lot of things that are in my CV now. Next step: pimp my CV!

When applying for a job I often meet my insecure self... I often think I have nothing to offer... who could want me? Yesterday, I learned I have enough to offer. There are so many words that could describe me that I can hardly pick out five basic ones. Also we had to think about metaphores that could describe the personal brand and I found two... Now I am even irrestible to myself... unable to deny me... Yes! Something is changing! I am unique, authentique and original. There is no second me! I am focused and pure. I am sensitive and growing. This personal brand will improve! Ok, it will need a little time for I believe every change needs a few steps and you can only take one step at a time... but to take that step you need to be inspired... it has to make sense...

Yes it is clear that personal branding is not only to strengthen your position in the minds of othes, it helps you strengthening yourself. Look at the things you are good at in stead of all the things you are not. Yes you are a brand and now take the step to strengthen your brand and increase the value you provide for others. You are already a lot more the way you want to be than you think.
Good luck!
