Finding Your Brand

Discovering your unique personal brand is an empowering journey that sets you apart professionally and personally. It starts with introspection, identifying your core values, passions, and strengths. Ask yourself what you stand for, what excites you, and what skills or talents you possess that differentiate you from others. Reflecting on feedback from friends, family, and colleagues can also offer valuable insights into how others perceive your unique qualities.

Next, observe how these attributes communicate through your actions, online presence, and engagement with others. Your brand should authentically represent who you are, seamlessly blending your personal and professional life. Consistency is critical across all platforms and interactions; this consistency reinforces your brand, making it memorable.

Finally, embrace storytelling. Sharing your journey, challenges, and successes in a relatable way can captivate and connect with your audience. Your stories, infused with your distinct voice and perspective, make your brand unique, engaging, and inspirational. Embarking on this journey of self-discovery and expression offers a new view of you to others and helps you grow.

A retired Air Force Master Sergeant, Mike used to lay in bed at night and worry about what would happen if his plant closed or found himself without a job. One day his plant closed. Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future. Mike holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education and Training and a Bachelor of Business Management, earned through the University of Phoenix and an AAS degree in Electronics Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force. Mike is a member of the Delta Mu Delta Business Honor Society.
