Some Initial Tips for Developing Your Personal Brand
• Start doing research and development ( R & D) re: possible core strengths for your field/industry, then customize it according to your abilities/ strengths, talents, skills, competencies, and passions. This can be done by through various websites: Canadianbusiness.com , Forbes.com, Economist.com, Fortune.com, profit.com, itworldcanada.com, itbusiness.ca, profitmagazine.ca, BNN.ca,Businessweek.com, careerjournal.com, etc.. If possible, get an inside coach for the companies ( someone you can connect with) that you have specifically targeted from your R & D strategies.
• Find a Mentor in your field and choose one whose strength is your weakness. You can also find a person ( not a friend or family member) to become your accountability partner- someone who you can share your goals with and holds you accountable to them. An accountability partner will kick your butt when you need it, but not kick you when you’re down. :) Depending on the circumstances, this can be your Mentor.
• Write out a one-page career marketing plan and refer to it daily.. Keep it front and center.. If it is not working for you, then change/ adapt and modify it accordingly—in conjunction with your research and development, and your mentor’s and accountability partner’s feedback.
