I've been on a 15-year journey to build my personal brand, one that started in the telecommunications and advertising sectors with zero network and eventually required a complete reinvention as a social seller at age 35.
Joining the greatest tech company in the world 10 years ago, I found myself surrounded by younger colleagues who knew everything about cloud and technology. It felt like they were speaking another language.
However, I knew how to create content rooted in my experiences, both past and present.
I tell my mentees and anyone I coach in this space: your experiences matter. They're relevant. Someone else is having, has had, or will have those same experiences, and your willingness to share them will resonate deeply.
My mantra for the first half of the year is "consistency compounds." This idea is more than just a catchy phrase; it's a principle I've lived by.
When I look back, it's clear that showing up every day and consistently putting in the effort has been the cornerstone of my success.
Personal branding feeds every element of what you try to do. Whether it's creating content, mentoring others, or leveraging a podcast to connect with prospects, consistency is key.
Standing out from the noise is crucial. One way to achieve this is by presenting a unique message or value proposition right from the start.
This approach can significantly increase the probability of securing meetings and establishing trust. Not everything will be perfect, and that's okay.
Evolution and improvement are continuous processes. We've likely all radically changed our approaches over the years to be relevant and successful, always aiming to better meet the needs of our target audience.
Keep learning and evolving. Whether you're creating content, engaging with your audience, or honing your craft, continuous improvement is vital.
Each of us has transformed our methods over the years, ideally centered around our unique value prop and superpowers, adapting to better serve our goals and connect with our desired audience.
This constant evolution ensures that we stay relevant and effective in a rapidly changing landscape.
How can you start showing up more consistently in your professional life, and what unique experiences can you share to resonate with your audience?
