Personal Branding is how you share and market yourself to others.
A brand is created when people connect images, emotions, stories, experiences and expectations with a person or company. Therefore, your name and what people associate with it, determine what your brand is.
Your personal brand is comprised of three C’s:
Connections – anyone with whom you have a relationship or a connection. Your connections include your friends, family, colleagues, clients, customers and fans.
Content – the information, language, images, and design associated with your brand that exists through word-of-mouth stories, printed and digital materials, public profiles, websites, traditional and social media (articles, blogs, video, audio, etc.).
Commerce – the money that you earn from goods or services sold under your brand name.
Connections build reputation. Content builds trust. Commerce builds a business. Put all three together and they create your brand.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

tools to enhance
their true collection
– the communities
they serve.
The community is
your collection.

9. The community is the collection.
If you want to be a brilliant librarian. If you want to make
a difference in people’s lives . . . You must be active.
You must see your community as your collection and you
must be into collection development every day. Not
sitting behind a desk . . .not waiting for someone to come
to you and ask for help, but being out there and saying,
“I’m here. You’re important. . .
You are not in the library business. You are not in the
book business. You are not in the building business. You
are not in the website business. You are in the
community business.

13. What is social capital?
Resources and support
accumulated by an individual,
institution or group through
relationships and the possession
of a durable network.
Tappable goodwill available
14. Social capital is what allows any organization or
individual to make requests of its followers successfully.
Think of social capital as funds in a sort of intangible
bank account that you add to by listening to, engaging
with, and doing favors for others. Each time you make a
request, you are drawing on that account. If no social
capital has been established from which to draw, actions
requested of others are likely to be ignored.
Having social capital is, in many ways, equivalent to
having credibility in a selected online community. Social
capital can be earned only over time, by participating
appropriately in the community.

“The Strength of Weak Ties”
Before the study, strong ties considered
most important
Weak ties matter, a lot!
Jobs come from weak network ties,
more often than strong
Diversity is important—people who are
nothing like you
20. Implications
When you create and share
content across weak ties, you
reach new people, attract
opportunities, access new
content.

23. Fundamentals:
Don't criticize, condemn or complain.
Give honest and sincere appreciation.
Arouse in the other person an eager want.
Six ways to make people like you
1. Become genuinely interested in other
people.
2. Smile.
3. Remember that a person's name is to
that person the sweetest and most
important sound in any language.
4. Be a good listener. Encourage others
to talk about themselves.
5. Talk in terms of the other person's
interests.
6. Make the other person feel important -
and do it sincerely.
31. In a networked world
You are your content & connections
You are somebody’s critical weak tie
Someone else is your critical weak tie
You can scan, curate, interpret, create
meaningful content for others
You can bridge connections for others
You can find/get what you need if you plan
34. Success is increasingly dependent on how we interact with others. Most
people operate as either takers, matchers, or givers.
Whereas takers strive to get as much as possible from others and
matchers aim to trade evenly, givers are the rare breed of people who
contribute to others without expecting anything in return.
Although some givers get exploited and burn out, the rest achieve
extraordinary results across a wide range of industries.

social norm of in-kind responses

42. Gaining social capital really
means becoming a strong,
consistent member of the online
community. People expect
reciprocity. Building a social
media reputation means giving
back.
46. Ask for readers’ favorite Oprah Book Club
pick or their favorite program at the library.
Try asking for opinions on the worst book
ever written. The more controversial the
question, the more feedback it will likely
get. Although generating controversy for its
own sake may not be your library’s goal,
facilitating conversation between the library
and others is something you want.

Use your Pulse
Comment, share, write
Write thoughtful endorsements (not Facebook likes)
If you write thoughtful endorsements for others, they are more likely
to write them for you
Share articles, slideshows, videos that represent you and your
persona well
Study who is viewing you
Check out how many are viewing what you share and when
Profile views are less important than content views
Determine what people are interested in that you are sharing
Everything you share goes on your permanent record

Editor's Notes
Being a social media introvert is not a good idea. In a crisis we have to sell our message.
During the Save Ohio Libraries movement in 2009, some libraries in Ohio jumped into Twitter. Undoubtedly, they saw it as another avenue for getting the word out about the imminent and catastrophic budget cuts being proposed by Ohio’s governor. However, two major factors prevented them from really using Twitter as an effective rallying tool.The first was simply a lack of followers. Numbers are not the only criterion for social media success (and certainly not the most important one), but some followers are needed to spread a message. When an organization jumps into a social media tool during a crisis before having developed followers over time, there is a distinct lack of audience to hear any pleas for help.The second was a lack of social capital.

Friends know all the same people. Your good friends don't offer additional social information beyond what you already know. Bridges are usually weak ties. Weak ties facilitate information flow from disparate clusters of people.Weak ties help spread new information by bridging the gap between clusters of strong tie contacts. The strength of weak ties informs much of the popular understanding of information spread in social networks.
Weak ties are bridges

“The ambivert advantage stems from the tendency to be assertive and enthusiastic enough to persuade and close, but at the same time, listening carefully to customers and avoiding the appearance of being overly confident or excited,”A new study published in Psychological Science suggests that not only are these stereotypes wrong, but there’s an entirely different personality type that stands well above the others in sales prowess.Study:Grant predicted that extroverts, contrary to popular lore, would not bury other personality types when it came to closing sales — but rather, ambiverts, people who are more or less equal parts extroverted and introverted would perform best.Forbes http://www.forbes.com/sites/daviddisalvo/2013/04/10/move-over-extroverts-here-come-the-ambiverts/
Not an orientation. Beginning a relationship. About community needs. Not a bait and switch and talk about databases and books. Freshman assigned concierge,. Meet during first week face-to-face, look at schedule, texts, what do we have as ebook, where are your classes, what is a bursar. Teaching how to hack the info and other systems of the university. Professors grateful, come in.
Always give credit. Laura Solomon: This applies to all content, not just retweets. Do you want to promote a new program that was a patron’s idea? Name the patron and link directly to that person if you can. People want to be involved when they know their name is going to be promoted. This is another reason why photos of patrons at programs are a popular way to get people to visit a website. The library is an organization that cannot exist without its community, so be sure to acknowledge that community whenever and as often as possible.

Krulwick worked with Charles Kuralt and Kuralt worked with Edward R. Murrow. Kulwich talked about a new generation of professionals. After they wrote, they tweeted and facebooked and blogged their blogs, and because they were good, and worked hard, within a year or two, magazines asked them to affiliate (on financial terms that were insulting), but they did that, and their blogs got an audience, and then they got magazine assignments, then agents, then book deals, and now, three, four years after they began, these folks, five or six of them, are beginning to break through. They are becoming not just science writers with jobs, they are becoming THE science writers, the ones people read, and look to… they’re going places. And they’re doing it on their own terms! In their own voice, they’re free to be themselves AND they’re paid for it! . . .I notice that they get courage from each other. They’ve got a kind of community. At first it was virtual; they wrote each other. Then they met each other. Now they support each other. Watch out for each other. One day, I imagine, they will get and give each other jobs. And they share a sensibility, a generational sense, that this is how “we” do it.
