Personal Branding - Need of Competitive Market...

Hi Friends, in our last blog we have seen Personal Branding. We conferred, before presenting you need to take care of three terms. What, When & How will you present? Same we will discuss in this blog. Assume at your works, you are facing problem in one process, which is very critical & you worked upon to find the solution for that, in result you have invented the solution for same. We will take this as case study for discussion.

What will you present? We have above case to show for your own marketing. Friends, take care whatever, you have invented (or will discover) as your solution or invention, it shouldn’t be someone else replica. It has to be your own. Always try to evaluate your invention/solution by asking questions within, such as, “Is it adding value to process or organization? Will it be cost effective? Is the solution is easy to implement? etc.

When will you show? The “Perfect Timing” is always important. Don’t show off immediately. Take review of surrounding situation. See that you should present it on correct timing. It means, in above case study you have your solution/invention, asses its need, if it’s not needy at that moment, be calm, don’t tell to others about it, wait for correct timing and then take a call for show off.

How will you present? The way of present should be impactful. Show it to all in such way that you can gain some advantage; otherwise it will be a waste of all efforts or somebody else will take the credit. Prepare yourself for selling your idea (your solution/invention), means you need to tell it with proper backup. Like, what are the advantages & disadvantages of it? Make a proper plan of implementation, is there any investment require for implementation? If yes, then be ready with budget plan & its payback period with breakthrough time line. Such stuffs are important for convincing others.

Personal branding is necessity of today’s competitive market. Learn it. Be safe & Take Care…

Personal Branding...an ART

Hello Friends, hope you all are doing well. To present our self is an ART. In your daily work life you must have observed many people, who work smartly; they get higher positions or promotion in quick succession. It’s not that they are doing any different things but what matters is they present it with different paradigm.

How to present is also an ART. There are people in organizations, does all hard work sincerely but nobody notices them. Because neither they are able to show their work nor management want to see the same. It’s not that management is not aware about their performances. Management knows very well who is doing what, but still sometime these guys stays behind than others cause their incompetency to put their work & demands on table.

In today’s corporate era many-times, unless you show & demand nobody will look at you. You should be capable enough to present your work, achievements, and improvements. Some thoughts what you can do for your own branding, Very first thing, think of before presenting your work, that What, When & How will you show?

Just for an example, if you have done any good improvement or found the solution for any problem, first thing you need to do is call your peers and tell them your  achievement. While doing so call your boss & tell them about your performance. If possible take snaps of it. Share the same to relevant functions, as they can also use it, if they want.

One important thing, if you have subordinates then, communicate others, the achievement is teams effort. They are the actual players; you just given them the directions. Doing so, would represent your leadership attributes. At the same time your team feel proud. Last message is be aware, don’t do unnecessary show offs as it may spoil your image, that’s the only reason I told above…before presenting always think about What, When & How. Be safe & Take Care.
