11. The Impact of
Branding

12. “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.”
- Tom Peters

Values
Trust
Reputation
What is your brand?
Slogan

Your Brand is not… Your Brand is…

14. What does personal
branding mean to
you?

16. It’s your values and
the characteristics
that describe who
you are and guide
your choices in life.
It's how you present
yourself online and
offline to potential
clients, employers,
colleagues and your
community.
It’s not about
creating an image
but communicating
your authentic self
effectively.
Your individual brand
can help build a
business, but it still
centers around you
as an individual.
Individual Branding is the how and the
why people remember you

17. It’s the best way to ensure
that people around you
perceive you as the person
you want to be.

18. Your individual brand creates impact
 Creates trust with others
 Shows your value
 Differentiates you
 Ensures your authenticity
 Builds your credibility
 Attracts opportunities
Expressing your individual brand both
consistently and continuously

19. How does a brand
evolve?

21. Key moments to see the impact of
individual branding
Building rapport with
colleagues (your team or
senior management)
During a job interview
Asking for a
promotion or salary
raise
Being able to lean on your network
Getting buy-in from others for a new initiative
Becoming a leader who people trust and are willing to
follow as they believe in you

26. Sabine
Hutchison
When I was a little girl my father encouraged me and my sisters to always
try to understand how things work and ask questions. He would give us a
broken toaster and we would take it apart and figure out what the problem
was. I was fortunate to have a father who encouraged us to question and
discover because this mindset has also accompanied me throughout my
career. I studied chemistry which is of course all about understanding how
things work, and eventually, I started working in this exciting world of
advancing healthcare.
At Seuss+, we have built a company that is all about asking questions and
taking situations/elements apart to discover a better way of doing things.
My name is Sabine and at Seuss+, we help life science companies grow
and be a better version of themselves in creative ways. Be it recruiting great
new staff, finding the best CRO to work with, bringing their brand to life or
making GCP learning fun.
