“it is said we are all three different
people: the person we think we are
(the one we have invented), the
person other people think we are
(the impression we make), and the
person we think other people think
we are (the one we fret about).”

The Art of Self-Branding Worksheet
3 AdjeCTiVe ChArT
I started The Art of Self-Branding to help others with their personal brand,
and now this worksheet will help you put those ideas into practice!
This is a companion piece to Branding from the Ground Up Workshop.
Visit http://www.artofselfbranding.com/ for more details.
Part One: Pretend You’re An Amnesiac What’s a Brand?
A brand is a perception
Name Relationship Time Known Adjectives of value formed in the
minds of people about a
company’s leaders, culture,
products, and services.
This perception is formed
at every point where cus-
tomers interact with the
company, from the word-
ing of advertising copy, to
the quality of services and
products offered, to the
type of people hired, right
down to what furniture is
in the waiting room.
The Questions:
Who am I?
What am I?
Where am I?
Who are you?
How’d I get here?
Part Two: Become an Environmentalist
The Habits
Recycle
Reduce
Recover
Reuse
