Time: 1 Hour
STEP 1: Have your employee complete the Branding WHO You ARE worksheet outlining the following:
- Capture key capabilities, accomplishments, and experiences
- Describe how these “Brand Components” add value for customers, co-workers, and the organization
- Outline or select key branding actions which can be taken to increase your personal brand
STEP 2: Meet with your employee to review and discuss the ideas.
STEP 3: Based on the discussion, work with the employee to create a 30 second “elevator speech” designed to share the team member’s personal brand with others as part of his or her branding action plan.
NOTE: Creating a brand is not about a one-time event... It’s an active process of branding to shape a desired image and clarify the distinctive components you have to offer an organization, customers, and co-workers.
Periodically review the Branding WHO You ARE Worksheet for upgrades and discuss the impact made by the branding actions.
