Everything about you tells a story. From your looks, dress choices, grooming, language, and behavior. That is just skimming the surface. Beyond one’s appearance, each person brings a uniqueness that should be cultivated. From this, he creates his personal branding through which he can deliver value.
Sheila Viesca, TalkShop CEO cites key areas for one to develop his personal brand:
1. Self-control – Develop Emotional Intelligence (EI) to be in control. Leadership is about grace under pressure. If this is a shortcoming, one should strive to be in control of his emotions.
2. Connection – Learn to read and engage others in open communication. This enables you to influence others better than intimidating and alienating.
3. Confidence – Dress the part. Looking good boosts one’s confidence. Work also on your communication skills and style.
4. Charisma – Listen. Be genuinely interested in others.
5. Credibility – Walk the talk. Practice what you preach.
6. Conciseness – Express yourself briefly. Do not waste the time of others.
“Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others.” —Jack Welch
