Slice of Life #29 - My personal brand




Now, that Spring Break is upon us I have time to reflect and catch up on outstanding issues other than school work. This weekend I have had spent time with my doctoral dissertation chair and another doctoral candidate. During the weekend, we spoke at length about "personal branding".

Last year, I attended an Apple Distinguished Educator   (ADE) conference here in Kuala Lumpur. One really interesting topic that we discussed, reflected, collaborated and began creating was our own "personal brand".

With the prevalence of social media, we were advised that  it is prudent to have a personal brand. Research has shown that if you want to stand out in a crowd, it's all about who you are and what you would like to be recognized for. Companies and people will seek you out because they have heard about you. In addition through word of mouth and association you will receive many positive comments.

To do this we did some reflection with paper and post - it - notes as our tools.  We were asked to use 5 post it notes, note down one - two words on each post it and then drawn an illustration that best describes the words. Quite a challenging task as I am the worlds worst artist, in addition I find it so difficult to define who I am, a jack (or jill) or all trades master of none. I have many diverse interests and passionate about so many issues and causes.

What did I chose to describe myself?

A Technology Risk Taker who likes a challenge
Knowledge Sharer
Mentor
Collaborator
Ever Changing Transformational.

    I enjoyed reading about your thinking away from school and learning something new about "personal brand"
