The term branding has long been relegated to companies and products, but today almost every individual has to have a personal brand as personal brand serves the brand of an employer company and its products complimentarily and it has positive impact on the way an organization and its culture is managed. Not many of us have consciously cultivated these brands, but they exist nonetheless.
The question is no longer IF you have a personal brand, but if you choose to guide and cultivate the brand or to let it be defined on your behalf. This session explains what personal branding and personal brand means and gives ways to start building an awesome personal brand.
What do you wish for people to associate with you when they think of your name? Is there a certain subject matter in which you want to be perceived as an expert or are there general qualities you want linked to your brand? Once you understand how you wish your brand to be perceived, you can start to be much more strategic about your personal brand. This doesn't mean you can’t be human. A strong personal brand can yield tremendous ROI whether you are working with an organization or leading one.
This session focuses on explaining the parts of persona, promise and brand story of a person and explains how can you strategically carve and build the personal brand – which helps you create a personal equity – to be more effective in the organization, market and society.
Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.
https://bit.ly/BabeSideDoll4u Babeside is a company that specializes in creating handcrafted reborn dolls. These dolls are designed to be incredibly lifelike, with realistic skin tones and hair, and they have become increasingly popular among collectors and those who use them for therapeutic purposes. At Babeside, we believe that our reborn dolls can provide comfort and healing to anyone who needs it.
The Healing Power of Babeside's Handcrafted Creations
Our reborn dolls are more than just beautiful pieces of art - they can also help alleviate stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions. Studies have shown that holding or cuddling a soft object like a stuffed animal or a reborn doll can release oxytocin, which is often referred to as the "love hormone." This hormone helps us feel calm and relaxed, reducing feelings of stress and anxiety.
In addition to their physical benefits, reborn dolls can also offer emotional support. For many people, having something to care for and nurture can bring a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Reborn dolls can also serve as a reminder of happy memories or loved ones who have passed away.
3. 1. How can I visualize the
oppportunites surrounding me?
When I do not know where I am
heading to.
4.
5. In order to be able to visualize
your own opportunities,
the first set of questions
to think of is:
• What’s the vision of my life?
• What’s my purpose on earth?
•Where am I heading to in life?
• What goals do I want to achieve?
6. “If you don’t
know where you
want to go, how
will you
determine how to
get there?”
7. Some of us can’t differenciate our
goals from our vision
One way to distinguish between
a vision and a goal is to ask,
“What’s next?”
8. • A vision is enduring and
provides clarity for the next
step. A goal ends.
•A vision provides clear
ongoing direction—it is clear
what you should do next. As
you take each step, the next
one becomes clear.
•A vision continues to act as a
beacon, guiding you in setting
new goals once current ones
have been achieved.
•Once you have reached your
goal, it is finished. Future
direction is unclear because
the goal was an end unto itself.
•Goals quantify and define
the steps you must take.
They are measurable and
answer questions
like When? and How much?
(rather than Why? which is
addressed by your vision).
•A goal can have a picture of
the end result and still not
be a vision.
•A goal is a specific target to
achieve something. It
includes the strategies and
tactics you use to move
toward your vision. You
should set and achieve goals
only that promote and are
in line with your vision.
9. • Vision is your why.
• Vision what you want in your future (what you want to
be).
• It’s the powerful reason why you want to do something;
your overarching purpose.
• Your vision is your passion and keeps you excited and
motivated. It’s what inspires you to do whatever it is you
want to do.
• Your vision should be clear because it is the foundation on
which you build.
10. To create a vision, begin by identifying :
• What are my core values and passions.
• What do I believe to be my purpose.
•
• What am I good at accomplishing at work?
• Three to five years from now, what would I like to be doing?
• What could I envision myself doing? What would I like to have
achieved?
• How would I describe my perfect job?
Note: Your vision can also change over time.
11. Once you’ve written down your vision (career/life
aspirations), the next step is to identify your goals. These are
the stepping-stones you will use to reach your desired
destination. Keep in mind that the quality of the goals you set
will determine their effectiveness.
Using the age-old S.M.A.R.T. technique, which stands for:
S = Specific. Goals need to be explicit and detailed
M = Measurable. Your goals should have a specific outcome
against which you can measure your progress
A = Attainable. Goals must allow you to stretch yourself, but
still be reasonable
R = Relevant. Each goal must have meaning for you
T = Time-bound. Goals must clearly define a beginning and
an ending
12. By now, the questions in our head should be:
Now that I think I know my vision and I think I have
SMART goals to achieve this vision…..
How can I visualize my own opportunities?
What’s the key to my own success?
13. How many of us
seated here
believe we can go
from zero to hero?

14. Everyone loves thinking about themselves.
But what if you could do it with conviction.
And with a purpose.
To improve your confidence for any situation,
at any time…

24. What is a SWOT Analysis?
• For those who don’t know - SWOT Analysis is a
strategic planning tool created by 4 business gurus in the
1960’s.
• But in short – It’s a four-piece framework used to
identify AND improve any businesses or persons
INTERNAL Strengths & Weaknesses and EXTERNAL
Opportunities & Threats – Simple!
25. So how can this help me?
First, you’re evaluating your personal proposition in a
unique way, which gives you a superb opportunity to take
solid action.

future improvement efforts.
So when do I do it?
Once a year is a good time.
But even more importantly.
When planning your next move, be it in business, work or even
your personal life.
27. 1. Give yourself a purpose

• Use Opportunities to overcome Weaknesses and create Strengths
• Nurture and Capitalise on Strengths
• And Finally help you visualize the opportunities you never knew
existed
without a vision, each goal is just something you’ve completed without a larger “why” in mind).
The point is to have one so you know why you are doing what you do, and you are happier doing it. The same process applies when you are creating a vision for any other aspect of your life, such as your career or business.
Examples of Vision:
1. To live a healthy, well-balanced life2. To provide a happy, loving home for your family in a safe community3. To become a Business Consultant
4. To be free from financial “slavery” and be an example to your children
Examples of goals:
1. To lose 10 pounds2. To save for a down payment on a house3. To take a business analysis course.4. To get out of credit card debt
Poorly defined goal: I will work to improve myself in business.
S.M.A.R.T. goal: I will identify one area of weakness and, during the next six months, complete one class and read at least two books to improve my expertise in that business topic.
