ROLES do you play?

what kind of
do you have?
what is your
STYLE?

23. ROLES our relationship with others
• Key relationships
• Roles vary depending on the
relationship
• Your roles are the reason you are
in a relationship

24. Our ROLES with others in business
• What a brand does for you.
• The customer is the most important
relationship in a business.
• The customer sets the bar for the
relationship but the company sets
the expectations.

25. Example of ROLES
• Father/Mother
• Daughter/Son
• Sister/Brother
• Student
• Employee

26. ROLES vs. JOBS
• Your role is defined by what you
do for the customer.
• Your job is defined by what you
do.
• Roles in jobs can change
depending on the customer.

27. ROLES and Responsibilities
• After you define a role, responsibilities
are implied.
• Figuring out the responsibilities and
keeping up with them is part of a brand
role.
• Your brand is based on how effectively
you meet your responsibilities and live
up to your roles.

28. STANDARDS as modifiers.
• It’s not who you are, but what you
do and how you do it.
• Sometimes overlaps with style.
• How you do things can shape the
nature of the relationship with
others i.e. consumers, subordinates,
family, community.

29. Perception
• Perception becomes reality.
• Want to be perceived as a detail oriented
individual, then the actions must speak for
themselves.
• We set our standards for how we want the
relationship to be seen, and understood.
• Perception is built through our actions not
intentions.

30. Judging by STANDARDS
• People make judgment of your actions.
Not only what you do, but also how well
you choose to do it.
• One must invest time and effort to create
a standard for themselves.
Ex: You want your boss and coworkers to rely on you for certain
tasks requiring a specific level of expertise. You must have
demonstrated that quality by placing enough research time
and effort to acquiring that level of experience.

31. Examples of STANDARDS
• Reliably efficient - Creatively undisciplined
• Non-judgmental listener - Assertively
opinionated
• Proficient net-worker - Focused on a close
circle of friends
• Open-minded - Orthodox
• Unfocused - Detail Oriented
• Situational Values - Consistent Values

32. Stick by your guns.
• Can’t please everyone.
• Focus on what you hold true and the
message you want to send.
• Standards could be positive and
attractive to one and the complete
opposite to another.
• Standards vary depending on the nature
of the relationship.

33. STYLE Elements
• Descriptives are Highly Subjective

as your manifesto
TRAINING: improve yourself
SPECIAL EVENTS: promote and create special
focus on your brand dynamics
REWARD AND RECOGNITION: don’t take
things for granted
… QUESTION, PROBE, EVALUATE,
CHALLENGE…

40. BRAND MOMENTS are
the times when your unique
combination of roles,
standards, and style will be
put to test.
YOUR BRAND WILL SHINE
OR FADE.

41. PERSONAL BRAND
The
you create will become a dynamic
presence in your life. But to remain
strong, it must be renewed everyday. It
must become a part of everything you
do.
BRANDS are relationships. They
reflect values.

Of A Worthy Ideal”

43. Personal Branding
vs.
Personal Development

44. Skills = Possibilities

45. Take inventory of what YOU offer
— Major skills and abilities
— Social, technical or field-specific skills
— Important personal attributes (hard-working,
trustworthy, results-oriented, decisive)
— Ask: Where have I successfully used these abilities,
skills and attributes?

46. Why Look at Transferable Skills?
— Leverage skills for new opportunities
— Target skills will offer the greatest personal reward
— Identify areas of strength and interest
— Identify areas for growth and development
— Identify areas of burnout or dissatisfaction
— Data for self-marketing/ personal branding

47. 3 Types of Skills
— Technical/ Work-specific skills are specific to a job and are not easily
applied in other environments or situations. These skills tend to be technical
and specialized.
— Functional/transferable skills can be applied in most environments and
situations. They incorporate various combinations of data, people, and thing
skills. Examples of functional skills include communication, planning,
organizing, managing, analyzing, and problem-solving.
— Self-management skills (sometimes referred to as personality traits) are
related to how we conduct ourselves and are rooted in temperament. Examples
of these skills include taking the initiative, resourcefulness, being goodnatured, and reliability.
