- "Your brand is what people say about you when you're not in the room." – Jeff Bezos How do colleagues describe you? Subordinates? Leadership? If it's not aligned with your career goals, it’s time to take control. Start by clarifying your unique strengths and quantifying your value. #PersonalBrand
- Feeling stuck in a support role? Don't see a path to grow your career? Solution: - Identify a business-critical problem. - Research and propose a viable solution. - Take ownership and lead the implementation. Demonstrating proactive problem-solving highlights your #leadership abilities.
- If someone asked, "What do you do best?" would your answer make you memorable? Craft a "Personal Branding Statement": "I [solve this problem] by [leveraging this skill] to [achieve this result]." Defining this helped clarify my worth and influence in my field and organization. #CareerGrowth
- Struggling to lead amid #workplace challenges? Adopt a growth mindset, find opportunity in the struggle, and focus on #solutions. Transform challenges into a proving ground. Your solutions and #impact can then be quantified. Generating value through challenge leads to upward #opportunities.
