So when we look at these brands , what words or emotions come to mind? Volvo Disney Apple
MAYBE Delete this one if we decide not to do the Coffee interactive exercise.
And think of these successful brands What is Nike’s tagline? And if I asked a room of professionals in Los Angeles or New york or even Lodon or Hong Kong the chances are they woulds say exavctly the same. Brands associate with premium positioning; Google is worth more than Indonesia as a country. Starbucks allows its employees to be brands within a brand – pound of coffee story Blackberry is becoming the Kleenex of PDA’s – on a plane its turn off your phones, pagers and blackberries.
And celebrities are brands. Martha Stewart said I’m a brand Do Celebriity band exercise – Donald Trump versus Oprah
Marshall has already talked aobut the new realites of the new world of work and that coupled with a term called Egonomics – from Faith Popcorn the futurist in NYC is why personal branding is becoming such a key career and job search tool .
So let me quickly take you through the Reach 3 step process in which both Marshalll and I are certifed. Extract Express Exude Over the next 20 minutes or so we ar going to take you thorugh this process and then specifically talk aobut how you can use this in job searching in a tough economy to land the jobs you want.
Key with the foundation of your brand is identifying or appointing the VP’s of your life. Vision - Disney Purpose – Mother Teresa Values – Oprah Winfrey Passions – Richard Branson
Then you need to look at your Strengths. Talk about Strengths finder.
Understand others perceptiona of your brand Explain 360 Reaxh Give example. Mention its free and details at the end.
Look at Target Audience Demogrpahics Pscchograpics You also need to be considering your competitors – what is the same about you and what is different? Qualifications will likely not be enough -what else. ?
Then once you have identified Who you are – both internal and external perceptions Who your target audiences is Who your competitors are and differences Then you can identify the sweet spot in the middle that is your brand. Once that is done you can start to communicate it – Marshall (insert Marshall job search strategies slides)
Thanks Marshall – great insights So once you are communicating your brand effectively you need to ensure you follow what I call the Donald rule. Three C’s of branding Clarity Consistency Constancy
Communicating and living your brand is all about Visibility and Credibility. And everything that surrounds you From your office to the equipment you use.
To what you wear – your image is one of the first impressions visualyl of your brand.
How you communicate says something about your brand.
And how you behave – do you treat the receptionist the same way as you treat the senior manager?
And then networking. Recommended read – Ferrazzi’s book. All about authentic networking and giving – what can you do for them. Marshall over to you to wrap things up .
