Hey - can we talk about authentic personal branding?

Howdy ,

Happy Monday.

Fellow Workplace Multipliers,

I am going to show you an image in a moment.

It’s part of the outcome of an assessment that the company I was working at a few years ago had done on me.

No...I wasn't developing a mind-blowing work alter ago that they needed to dissect.

When you read something like that, you think there was something wrong with "yours truly" which meant I had to go for some assessment.

Naa…it was part of a training program.

Ahead of the program, the facilitator carried out the assessment on all of us. It wasn’t to tell us what superpowers we would get. I wish - I have always looked forward to wearing capes and tights.

Here is the image.

Interesting thing about this image.

Out of almost 20 or more participants, I was the only one with “conscious” & “less conscious” shapes similar.

The rest of everyone had different image combinations.

The facilitator explained, “You must be showing up consistently the same way and as the same person in every situation.”

Everyone in the class agreed to that.

They were all colleagues at work. They were used to seeing me every day.

According to them, I was showing up consistently as the same person.

They probably like the person they are meeting up with every time.

How would you like that?

Showing up consistently as the same person?

Having a personal brand that people want to be around?

This kind of consistency doesn't happen by accident. It starts with understanding your core values and using them as the foundation for everything you do.

In the 31-day Workplace Power Leverage Sessions, I did a while back, we spent the first three days diving deep into exactly that.

Take 10 minutes today to reflect on your own consistency at work.

Are you showing up as the same person in every situation? If not, what's one small change you could make to align your actions more closely with your values?

If you found this valuable, hit reply and let me know what insights came up for you. I read every response personally.

You can win at work and in life.
