How to build your personal brand ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ•บ

1. First, check your current brand ๐Ÿ”Ž

People form opinions on you, based on…

What you:

  • Say to people
  • Do for work
  • Wear
  • Post on social media and professional networks
  • Buy
  • Look like
  • Write
  • Eat
  • Put in your CV
  • Say in interviews, articles, and online

How you:

  • Speak
  • Treat others
  • Use body language
  • Work
  • Write

Who you:

  • Spend time with
  • Collaborate with
  • Are friendly with
  • Aren’t friendly with
  • Work with

Where you:

  • Spend your time
  • Live
  • Go on holiday
  • Work

So the first place to start, is to check your current brand.

  1. Think about the ways we’ve mentioned above, that people use to form an opinion on you. What impression do you give people? Is there anything you would change?
  2. Google yourself – what comes up? Will it help your career path?
  3. Ask the people around you what comes to mind when they think of you. You could ask teachers, colleagues, friends, customers, and family. Do you like what they think? Would you want to change what they think?

2. Decide what you want your brand to be ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ’ญ

What do you want people to think about you?

What are your goals? – How will building your brand help you?

How can you speak, treat others, use body language, work, or write to make people think differently about you?

What are you good at? What talents do you want to be known for?

What do you care about? – How will you get this across to people?

How do you want to stand out from the crowd in your area of work? What makes you unique?

What are you knowledgeable about? Can you use this to help your brand?

Who do you want to help through your work? What kind of people do you want to love your brand?

Who are your current audience, what kind of audience do you want to attract?

What can you say, do, wear, post, look like, write, eat, put in your CV, or say in interviews to make people think differently about you?

Who can you spend time with, collaborate with, be friendly with (or unfriendly with), or work with, to make people think differently about you?

Where can you spend time, live, go on holiday, or work to make people think differently about you?
How can you build credibility in your area of work, so that people trust you as an expert?

3. Make a plan to get there, then follow it! ๐Ÿ“โœ๏ธ

Once you’ve decided what you want your brand to be, decide what you need to do to get there. Make your brand visible!

  • Be consistent – if you change your brand a lot, it may confuse people
  • Be as authentic as possible, to make your brand believable
  • Stop and think before posting online – does this fit with your brand?
