Recognizing the importance of the "personal brand" image we project is a critical first step in developing and growing our careers. But conventional thinking on the topic is beginning to shift and the importance of our "personality brand" has become an increasingly important dimension. That, and the rapidly escalating use of social media tools makes the art of presenting ourselves a whole new ballgame!
A resume is a marketing tool. A resume sells you. Promotes you. It gets you in the door for the interview.
The facts of who you are and what you do - your skills, the duties and responsibilities you perform, your accomplishments are the foundation of every resume.
A Resume SELLS You - Stand Out - This Book Will Show You How!
Who would guess that when Michael Jones' car broke down on the side of the road that it would be the beginning of a life-changing relationship?
Walking to the nearest house, Michael stumbles across a plantation style mansion on an estate named "Twelve Pillars." Charlie, the estate's caretaker, helps Michael get back on the road again and also strikes up a relationship with him - and along the way teaches Michael the secrets of success - the Twelve Pillars of Success - that have made the owner of the house, Mr. Davis, a wealthy and successful man.
This new novel by Jim Rohn and Chris Widener will inspire you to take your life to the next level and beyond. It will challenge and encourage you to become the best that you can be!
Twelve Pillars blends together the fundamental principles and teachings of Jim Rohn and The Jim Rohn One-Year Success Plan, and with the help of Chris Widener, those principles have been weaved into a unique tapestry of a fictional account of three characters – Michael, Charlie and Mr. Davis.
Here are a few of the lessons you will discover in the Twelve Pillars of Success:
Live a Life of Three-Dimensional Health
The Gift of Relationships
Achieving Your Goals and the Proper Use of Time
Surrounding Yourself with the Best People
Becoming a Life-Long Learner
Income Seldom Exceeds Personal Development
Communication Brings the Common Ground of Understanding
The World Can Always Use One More Great Leader

Networking Skills - Kent St High School Presentation - Shireen DuPreez - Dece...Shireen DuPreez
What is a network? How does your network influence success in your career? How can you find a job through your networks? What is the Hidden Job Market?
An Overview of Social Networking & Human ResourcesConnie Crosby
Presented to the ITAC HR Forum for the Information Technology Association of Canada. Presents an overview of social networks, additional places where IT staff may engage online, a few brief cases of Canadian businesses using social networks, and how human resources professionals might use social networks.
This is a slide deck that I presented at a local business school. The topic I presented to the students was, "The Importance of Networking." The goal was to teach students the importance of networking to find a job as well as to stay abreast of industry trends.
Ubiquitous services that are genuinely user-friendly to everyone will require technologies that enable communication between people and objects in close proximity.
Focusing on the naturalness, inevitability, and sense of security conveyed by touching in everyday life, which describes Human area network that enables communication by touching, which we call RedTacton.
Here, the human body acts as a transmission medium supporting IEEE 802.3 half-duplex communication at 10Mbit/s. The key component of the transceiver is an electric-field sensor implemented with an electro optic crystal and laser light.
Power constraints play a key role in designing Human Area Networks (HANs) for biomonitoring. To alleviate the power constraints, we advocate a design that uses an asynchronous time encoding mechanisms for representing biomonitoring information and the skin surface as the communication channel.
Time encoding does not require a clock while allows perfect signal recovery; the communication channel is operated below 1 MHz. The ultimate human area network solution to all these constraints of conventional technologies is “intrabody” communication, in which the human body serves as the transmission medium.
The concept of intrabody communication, which uses the minute electric field propagated by the human body to transmit information, was first proposed by IBM [1]. The communication mechanism has subsequently been evaluated and reported by several research groups around the world.

Brand Me INTRODUCTION Why is a goal by Beckham enjoyed.docxhartrobert670
Brand Me
INTRODUCTION
Why is a goal by Beckham enjoyed more than a goal by any other player? Does the answer lie
only in the talents possessed by these individuals or something beyond that? Do these
personalities “brand” themselves and consciously do or refrain from doing things that affect their
brand image? A BRAND may be defined as a name to which a set of associations and benefits as
become attached in the consumer's mind. This name could be that of a product, a service, a
corporate entity or even an individual. There are numerous examples of people who have
become brands. Internationally, numerous names across industry sectors and occupational
profiles come to mind including Madonna, Armani, Michael Jackson, Tiger Woods, Michael
Jordan, Richard Branson, and Mother Teresa, etc. In the business arena it is a widely accepted
fact that dynamic CEO’s become intrinsically linked to the companies they represent. (E.g. Jack
Welch, Lee Iacocca). As such it is important not only for a company to brand its offerings but
also its people and its leader. This essay is to help you branding yourself and understanding the
concept behind “Brand Me.”
THE PERSONAL BRANDING PHILOSOPHY
Personal Brand - A personal identity that stimulates precise, meaningful perceptions in its
audience about the values and qualities that person stands for. It was branding guru Tom Peters
who started the personal branding movement with an essay that appeared in Fast Company in
1997 under the title “The Brand Called You.” Peters wrote, “Regardless of age, regardless of
position, regardless of the business we happen to be in, all of us need to understand the
importance of branding. We are CEOs of our own companies: Me, Inc. To be in business today,
our most important job is to be head marketer for the brand called ‘You.’”
Peter Montoya, author of The Brand Called You, believes the key to personal branding is
knowing how you are perceived by others. Montoya writes, "Personal branding lets you control
how other people perceive you... You're telling them what you stand for -- but in a way that's so
organic and unobtrusive that they think they've developed that perception all by themselves.…
When done right, it's irresistible.” (Personal Branding Press, 2002).
Just like companies brand their products to create some unique associations in the minds of the
target consumers, personal branding also involves the creation of strong, unique and favorable
associations in the minds of the people around. But unlike products which have a conscious
marketing program to build and maintain brand values, personal brands are built unconsciously.
Even if a person does not play any role in branding himself, others will automatically create
some associations about him depending on his nature and habits. Therefore one should play an
active role in creating a brand for oneself.

Christopher Allen's teaching philosophy and approach to curriculum design in a hybrid (mixed online & face to face), flipped (lectures as homework, classes as activities) environment while teaching at the Bainbridge Graduate Institute @ pinchot.EDU in the MBA in Sustainable Systems program.
A proficiency model for creating instructional design objectives and to empower students in their own learning. It is a hybrid model based on principles from Csikszentmihalyi’s concept of ‘Flow’. This model has four basic +1 stages: unlearned, basic familiarity, practiced proficiency, mastery, and reflective competence.
Creating a game together is a great tool for teams to establish a shared language and to discover aspects of collective experience that can foster innovation. The reason is that games can be defined as “A Playful Journey to Success” — the processes of innovation, entrepreneurship and education are all also Journeys to Success. Thus by designing a game, we are modeling future successful journeys for ourselves.
A powerful tool in our pedagogy toolbox are discussion assignments using Moodle forums as activities.
This presentation demonstrates what they are for, how to configure them for your course, some best practices and warnings.

Cooperative gaming—tabletop lessons for online gamesChristopher Allen
My talk from GDC Next in LA, on November 6th, 2013.
ABSTRACT: In the past decade, cooperative games have become an important category for tabletop play. Best-sellers like Pandemic and Flash Point: Fire Rescue are just the tip of the cooperative iceberg, with dozens more filling game store shelves. Meanwhile, in the online computer game field, quests and character specialization imply cooperative play, but the games don't necessarily embed cooperative mechanics in their code. This session will bridge that gap by highlighting specific tabletop mechanics that encourage, support and even limit cooperation, and suggest how they can be used in online games. It will do so using many references to specific tabletop games.
TAKEAWAYS: Attendees will learn about the design of cooperative elements in tabletop games, including cooperation styles and anti-cooperative incentives. They will be able to discuss basic cooperative theory, including elements of limited communication, hidden information and costly assistance. Finally, they will be able to apply these tabletop lessons to online design.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Women’s Myths @ branding:
Myth #1: If I Am Good, They
Will Come
Myth #2: Marke8ng Myself Is a
Dirty Business
Myth #3: I Can't Control What
Other People Think

22. Here’s the way you want to have it!
An individual consultant’s model –
personal branding – is being sold to
companies, and it doesn’t work on a
large scale. It does not work for
corporate communica4ons …

25. Tell us:
In 30 seconds, what is
Check In #2 the one thing that you
absolutely excel at, that
above all else you are
better at than almost

26. Your Personal Brand
All that you are should support your personal
brand
You are a whole person, not just your profession
Is your personal brand powerful to people to
already know you?
Does a clear, concise, positive idea come to mind
when people think of you?
Is your personal brand effective with people that
don’t know you?
27. CEO of Your Own Brand
You are the CEO of your own career
What is a title for your career now
that is likely to be true in 2 years?
Mine now is “Entrepreneur, Advisor &
Technologist”
What is the best one sentence
introduction of your professional
self?
“I am a long-time entrepreneur & technologist focused
on the opportunities found in the social web, online
trust and virtual communities, which I write about in
my blog Life With Alacrity and teach in the sustainable
MBA program at Bainbridge Graduate Institute.
28. A purpose
Last weekend at intensive, we did a journaling
exercise.We built up through the questions,
"What do I consider my personal identity?" and
"What are my core competencies?" to the
ultimate question of, "What is my purpose?" Yes,
that general. Purpose. By the time I go to that Beth
question, I knew exactly what to write, so I quickly Breisnes
wrote down my response and shut my notebook.
"My purpose in life is to learn and to
share."
29. A declaration
Today I revisited the profile, and noticed, after our
exercise in branding, that while accurate, it was
still less than complete. Taking a deep breath, I
added the declaration: I am a passionate,
creative leader. Utterly true.

30. Joy
“One of the major driving forces in my life is joy. I
want lasting and long-term joy for myself and
everyone. If you look at all the things that go into
joy: humor, health, community, environment, etc.
you get to the need for a more simple and
sustainable life for humans on this planet. Melissa
Therefore, I will often focus on happiness as Dingman
the outcome of sustainability efforts.”
31. “Tag” yourself using separate
post-it notes:
Tag Self Write down three, short
(2-3 word) phrases that
you use to introduce
yourself
Describe the three things
you are most passionate
about
Describe three thing
unique about yourself
32. “Tag” everyone
Wander quietly and “tag”
Tag Others your fellow students on
their back with post-it
notes. Use a word or short
phrase.
Focus on what makes them
unique
Gift them by with an
acknowledgment of
something they are good at
they may not know
Write something you found
most memorable about
them
33. Find an opposite partner
Pick a personal you know
Tag Review the least, whom you were
least able to tag
They will be your brand
buddy
Take all of the tags off their
back
34. Take turns and compare
the lists of tags that you
Tag Review wrote for yourself, and
those that others wrote for
you.
Discuss how are they the
same and how are they
different.
Ask your brand buddy to
help you identify three key
phrases that are most
important and effective at
evoking “the authentic you”
37. Our Goals
Finalize your Personal Brand
Know your keywords and key phrases
Update your profiles
Your Channel Profile one last time
Then your Google Profile
Get advice from Personal Brand Buddies
Sign up for LinkedIn
Add your fellow students
Update your LinkedIn Profile
38. Given the important words
from your tags:
Related Keywords Use google suggest to find
related words
Are any of these two
word phrases worthy of a
blog name?
40. Know Your Keywords
Given the important words from
your personal brand and identity
exercises:
What related words are possibly more
evocative? Try Thesaurus, OED, roots
What other words are often paired with
those words.Try Google Suggest
What adjectives or adverbs can you add
to both make you more unique and
more evocative?
Is their any pairing of words worthy of a
blog name?
41. I’ve mostly worked in entrepreneurial
Initial words startups, so this was these were
the first words I looked up
56. Google Suggest is the feature where you begin
Google Suggest words and google suggests the most common
pairings. Useful for finding important pairs.
57. Google Suggest used to give numbers, but there
Google Suggest #s are third party tools that still do:
http://tools.seobook.com/general/keyword-information/
58. Once I had some words, I tried pairing them in
Pairing Words different ways, different combos, until one stuck
59. I can also be useful to check the username

60. What makes a word evocative?
A word that brings to mind a
Evocative memory, mood or image.
The best evocative words
have an emotional context.
However, be very aware of
emotional context, as it may
not be what you think.
Evocative does not mean
provocative
61. It is possible to go too far.
If there is a choice between
Authentic an evocative word and
authentic one, pick the
authentic.
However, humor can make a
big difference:
I was tired of the title “CEO
& President”, so on one of
my old game industry
business cards I said instead
“CEO & Herder of Cats”. It
showed I was boss, but not
stuffy, a useful image.
63. During the next two
Create Your weeks, you will be
Brand creating the first draft of
your Personal Brand
Unique
Evocative
Concise
Memorable
64. You should:
Find a second Brand
Brand Buddy Buddy, someone who
knows you well
The pair of someone who
doesn’t know you well plus
someone who does, works
best
Share your drafts with
them
65. Consistency
Be consistent
Try to have one consistent personality (or message) in
lots of different places, not a different personality (or
message) in each place
Because the world is small and the people who meet
you in one place, you will meet in another place also
66. Avatar
Ideally a closeup of your face
People have a much larger ability to remember faces
then names
Put your face anywhere people may need to
remember you
My face is on the back of my business card
If you have privacy concerns, consider
commissioning a unique caricature
67. Your Brand Name
Decide what kind of name to use
A unique personal name or moniker
ChristopherRayAllen – my full name
ChristopherA – my preferred moniker
A meaningful word or phrase you can claim
Alacrity – “cheerful promptitude” is my core word
Life With Alacrity – my blog and typical first contact
Alacrity Management, Alacrity Ventures, Alacrity
Ventures are sub-brands
A nym (a pseudonym)
Tenebrass (only 339 google results) vs Tenebras (1m+)
68. Account Best Practices
Use same account name, spelling, upper case, nicknames, and
logins across all platforms.
Max 15 characters
No punctuation
Avoid numbers
Use namecheck.com & knowem.com
Try to own the domain even if you don’t use it
google.com/a/cpanel/domain/selectDomain
Use CamelCase when first registering
Have a backup nickname
Close as possible to preferred nickname
69. Password Management
Have at least two passwords
Create a “non-secure” password for non-financial
websites
Pick a memorable long word or short phrase,
e.g.““amber waves”, “perspicacious”
Shorten it to 7 characters
“ambrwvs”, “prspccus”
Convert a letter other then first to number
O=0, L=1, E=3, S=5 e.g. “ambrwv5” or “pr5pccus”
Use letter from domain name for last char, and
capitalize it
e.g. second o from google “ambrwv5O” or “pr5pccusO”
Same technique but longer word for financial
or use supergenpass bookmarklet
70. Consistent Style
Same personal avatar image on all public
platforms
Same or similar description and keywords
When possible, use similar fonts, colors, artistic
style, etc.
I use nicely kerned elegant serifed font for logo
I elegant san-serif fonts in body copy
Gill Sans in presentations
Trebuchet in web pages
Colors largely the same on blog, business card,
presentations, even my shirt for important conferences
71. Update Your Profiles
Starting with your Channel profile,
update your profiles to your new
Personal Brand
Ask colleagues and friends for their
impressions – it is difficult to judge
your profile yourself
Think about your profile’s audience:
The Channel: fellow students, teachers
LinkedIn: future professional colleagues
Google Profile: generic
Blogger Profile: your blog audience
72. Don’t Fill Out Everything
Just because a website asks you a
question, you don’t have to answer
Why answer “My superpower” or
“Something I can’t find on Google” or
“Where I grew up”?
Answer only those questions that
support your Personal Brand
Interests is often useful profile field
Keep a text file with your standard
profile answers

leverage and exploit

may hurt you
