“Personal Branding: Identifying & Communicating Our Value & Growth Potential”
Abstract:
To live effectively in our continuously changing world, to achieve our goals, to make a difference, and to be able to contribute to our society, depends greatly on others and the relationships we create with them. The personal brand concerns the perception that a person creates in the minds of others and is directly related to our ability to create bonds of an emotional nature and to establish relationships. The management of a personal brand does not mean designing and applying an egocentric strategy, but, rather, the search for the distinct characteristics of each person, and the personal value and growth potentials a person has, which can then be placed at everyone’s service.
