Picture this, you have just walked into a corporate party, and everyone from the executives to the secretaries is wearing a variation of black, grey, blue, or brown. However, one person standing in the corner is dressed in a rainbow of vivid colors. Your attention is automatically drawn to this stand-out individual. They are unique and intriguing, and they stand out at work!<\/p>\n
Then consider how guests interact with one another. Notice the difference between those who talk with little energy or emotion versus those who are animated, using hand gestures and pulling people into their conversation.<\/p>\n
Everybody has their unique selling point (USP), which makes them different; you are born with it. Otherwise, we\u2019d all be akin to chipolatas in a sausage factory. We like to call it your \u2018Personal Branding\u2019.<\/p>\n
So, the question is, how to be memorable with your personal branding? How to take what is authentically you, refine and develop it into something you can use to get ahead in the workplace.<\/p>\n
Identifying, refining, and developing your personal branding comes easier to some than others. However, anyone can master. Learn how to be memorable at work using these five easy steps.<\/p>\n
Every good journey of self-discovery starts with a makeover. Step one is to identify your own unique style, appearance, and image that begs attention. This doesn\u2019t have to be anything too extreme but it makes you stand out from the crowd. Are you business chic, fashionable, formal, classic, sporty, or a mixture of several?<\/p>\n
Be known for your positive energy. Developing your own personal communication style guarantees you will be memorable at work. We know it is difficult to bring your \u2018A game\u2019 every day but if you are friendly and engaging, it will be a catalyst to happy workplace relationships and positive personal branding.<\/p>\n
Be the person people can count on. Whether you mentor others lower in the company or support those more senior than yourself, it will not go unnoticed. Be a problem solver making it your business to help others out where you can.<\/p>\n
Make an effort to give back to your community, whether to your local neighborhood or your professional field. Even if it is just one day a month, using your business savvy to make a difference to a non-profit is a great way to give your personal branding that extra \u2018je ne sais pas\u2019.<\/p>\n
Those who can effectively and efficiently lead a project to success will cement their star on the Personal Branding walk of fame. From volunteering to head the committee to leading a team to achieve targets, whatever it is, will make you unforgettable.<\/p>\n
