“Becoming known as a thought leader shouldn’t
be your goal. It’s just the icing on the cake of
creating something truly innovative. When
you’re willing to take risks and do things that
are unconventional, you’ll find others in your
industry looking to mimic you and learn from
you, and eventually you may earn the respect
that labels you a thought leader.”

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. It seems like everyone lately is talking about building your personal brand. So much so, that we often begin building something without even knowing why we’re doing it and what we hope it will help us achieve. “I built a personal brand to blend in with the crowd”… said no one ever. The purpose of your personal brand isn’t to help you blend in with the crowd. It’s to make you STAND OUT. Identify what unique view of the world you are privy to  and find a way to share it with others to show people who you are, what you’re doing, where your interests lie, and what assets you can bring to them.
  2. WHERE TO START > Your brand lies somewhere between WHAT YOU’RE INTERESTED IN and WHAT MAKES YOU, YOU To start defining “who” and what your personal brand is, start asking yourself these questions. Take some time to really sit down and map these things out. Make a list of all that applies. Who are you? What characteristics, traits, beliefs, or experiences would you say define you? What do you do well? What’s something that you could talk about forever and never get bored with? What are the values that help guide the decisions you make, people you surround yourself with, and the things you envision in life? What is one thing that you are extremely passionate about?
  3. WITHOUT A GOAL IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SCORE You have to figure out what direction you are going in, first, in order to figure out who it is that you are talking to.  YOUR WHY WILL POINT YOU IN THE DIRECTION OF YOUR WHO AND, eventually, YOUR WHAT
  4. For example, let’s look at me. At the time when I began building my person brand I was pretty fresh out of college, but I had been working in self-started lean teams pretty much since I was about the age of 15. So, I had an unusually advanced amount of business intelligence and experience, despite my young age. I saw my age as an advantage, in the fact that I was a digital native and could easily adapt to and figure out how to leverage new technologies to engage audiences, but felt as though my career opportunities were being limited because of the way others saw my age as a disadvantage. ———————————— So, I decided began to build a persona to change the way both my peers and potential employers thought about capability and age—the millennial innovator (or “millennovator”)
  5. Like I said earlier, a personal brand is meant to differentiate you from the crowd. Once you find what makes you unique, showcase it in everything you say and do. Over and over, and over, and over again.
