WOW! I am a BRAND!

I had the amazing opportunity to learn about my personal brand over the weekend at the first BGI intensive  for the year. This will be a heavy photo post because I really want to record the awesomeness that was given to me. If you ever want to compare the way you perceive yourself to the way others perceive you--I highly recommend this exercise:

1) Write down a few words or key-phrases you would use to describe yourself and some of the things you are passionate about.

These are mine (please ignore spelling mistakes) :

(Personal Description) 

Old Soul, Deep Caring, Engaged, Courageous, Committed

(What matters most)

Justice, Authenticity/Truth, Service

2) Now, other people in a group (without knowing or seeing what you've written about yourself) write post-it notes with words and key-phrases they would use to describe you. 

What other people said: 

 


I'm pretty amazed at how many post-its I received from this exercise. To me, that signals that I'm living pretty out-loud these days. I was also excited to see the similarities between "my words" and "their words." Some words were the exact same words! I'm really happy about this exercise and I'm getting inspired about my own keywords. 


So...I just combined them all and MADE A TAG CLOUD with THIS!

And looks like the winners are:

 VOICE~COURAGEOUS~CARING

Now...all I have to do is put these words through a few "thesaurical" iterations and I'll have my brand!

Crafting my personal brand...
