How To Gain Clarity In Your Personal Brand

by Darine BenAmara

 

Being a brand isn’t just about being followed by so many people, it’s about standing out from the crowd. In others words, it is about positioning yourself as the go-to person in your industry or for any specific skills that you may have.

The best way to do that is to have a clear and consistent message. When building your personal brand, you should stick to a consistent message around your values and the potential benefits of working with you. Easier said than done. I know…  Most of us are multi-passionate, we do a lot of different things and the challenge is to package our knowledge into one powerful message.

 

First of all, let me tell you this: Being good at a lot of things but known for none of them, doesn’t help your career advancement.

Secondly, your personal brand is dynamic. It will evolve as you grow.

 

So your focus should be on what you want to be known for at the moment. You don’t need to be all things to all people, just focus on the ones who do care about your message.

 

Let’s identify what you’re brilliant at with these 5 questions:

 

Q1. What’s my ‘WHY’?

Few people are really clear about why they do what they do. When you’ve figured out your ‘why’, you’ve a sense of direction and a way of knowing what to pursue and what to ignore.

 

Q2. What’s are my values?

When you are clear about your values, you can make sure to keep them in alignment with what you do.

 

Q3. What’s my ‘superpower’ – the thing I do better than anyone else?

Strong personal brands take the things that they’re great at and they integrate it into everything they do. When you maximize your superpowers, you become known for them.

 

Q4. Who needs to know me so I can reach my goals?

You need to be clear about whom you’re seeking to impact. Narrow down your audience!

 

Q5. What’s my ultimate career goal?

Knowing where you want to go with your career will point you in the right direction when you start implementing brand-building activities.

 

 

Once you are clear about the answers to those questions, you have what you need to build a strong, authentic, and compelling personal brand.
