What is a Personal Brand?Throughout thousands of years of human history, unique and talented individuals have been able to rise above the masses to create strong and enduring personal brands, awareness and success. These people include artists, athletes, musicians, writers, comedians, spiritual and business leaders, academics, inventors, innovators, political leaders, chefs, soldiers, thought leaders and uniquely gifted human beings.

Today, savvy and driven individuals are looking to create a personal brand persona by creating influence and awareness through Thought Leadership and the demonstration of advanced thinking, ideas & social commentary. If you are an entrepreneur, executive or business leader - a strong personal brand has become a strong differentiator leading to success in both your personal, and business life.

With the rapid confluence of multiple factors today, including - instant access and discovery to almost any information through high speed internet, lightning fast search engines and smart mobile devices; the rise of social media and online content sharing; the global awareness of people, ideas and knowledge through 24/7 media and the Internet; the challenge of determining best brand options through the clutter and confusion of thousands of conflicting messages; the evolvement towards the art and the science of effective brand-building capabilities today – personal branding allows individuals the ability to elevate “themselves as a brand” to stand out above their peers – providing significant personal and business opportunities and advantages. Developing an effective Personal Brand will create the strong basis for the ongoing achievement of your personal life goals.

Why Build a Personal Brand?With business and personal success being ever more competitive, your best way of elevating yourself as a leader in your business or career is to stand out as an authority, and have an elevated brand perception amongst your peers. Personal brand-building is especially important for entrepreneurs and small business owners.

Your name, thought leadership, and unique talent are your greatest assets and will stay with you for the rest of your life, regardless of any firm, entity or larger organization that you may be associated with.

Grow Your NetworkExpanding an effective network is very important to business success, and attracts like-minded people who will be the basis for creating new customers and personal success.

Attract & Create New OpportunitiesBuilding a strong online presence & awareness will not only help people discover you, but some will bring relevant opportunities. Additionally, your personal brand demonstrates success – something others will be looking to tap in to.

Establish CredibilityYour personal brand is your unique promise of unique value. As long as you add this value to others on a consistent basis, you are gaining brand trust and credibility. This trust is your greatest and cheapest promotional activity.

Increase Your InfluenceAs you build your personal brand, you will notice that you get a loyal following online. This following will put you in a position of influence, as others listen to your thought leadership, opinions and perspectives.

Creating WorkA compelling brand will ensure that you keep busy. You and your services will remain in demand, as long as you live up to your brand promises. This is important to entrepreneurs, and provides a buffer against market place and external macro-financial forces.

The World Has Changed.

Individuals and organizations now have instant access to information anywhere, any time.

Needs and solutions can be researched in seconds from smartphones and wireless devices, and viable options and thought leadership is instantly recognizable through intelligent search engines, responsive websites, and online social media.

People’s priorities have changed, and demonstrated credibility is now critical in the decision-making process, when looking at potential solutions.

It has never been more important to stand out and develop a unique identity and value proposition through strategic personal branding.

What is Thought Leadership?

A Thought Leader is a person or firm that is not only recognized but also who profits from the recognition of authority.

Great companies and individuals are recognized as the authorities in a specialized field, whose expertise is sought and often rewarded.

Thought leaders are able to demonstrate value to potential customers, as opposed to a series of promises, special offers or relationship selling many individuals and businesses use as tactics in competitive markets today – increasingly with diminishing success.

Thought Leadership is about having the answers to the biggest questions on the minds of your buyers. It can also include your unique perspective and solutions on important topics, highly relevant to the important needs of your customers. The key is that the knowledge agenda is set by your audience. They determine what is important.

Demonstrated thought leadership is important for individuals, entrepreneurs, and companies. This is because of the complexity and challenges of the decision-making process for solutions today (in both B2B & B2C environments) and the large number of considerations, people involved and risk factors.

A great Thought Leadership brand differentiates itself from its competitors and allows a strong brand to be associated with the questions” its buyers are asking.

Be. An Influencer.

A center of influence (COI) is a person you know or wish to know, who is well connected in a certain geographic or professional marketplace. This person has many contacts and is well respected in his or her network because of their ability to demonstrate effective solutions through knowledge and Thought Leadership.

Networking and relationship building within relevant industries and centers of influence has become a key factor in creating new clients and ongoing success in almost all fields.

Influencers tend to be market leaders, and have many advantages in creating income and revenues as a result of their strong personal brand. The platform for connecting with a target audience and creating personal brand awareness - is primarily The Internet.

Important Statistics: Online media and information has become the norm for the vast majority of people, with 93% of online activities begin with a search engine, where 70% to 80% of users ignore paid search ads and focus on the free organic results, 91% of users say they find what they are looking for when using search engines, 78% of women and 69% of men use of social networking sites, (Pew Internet: Search Engine Usage 2012.), 77 percent of mobile searches occur at home or work—even if a PC is nearby and readily available (Search Engine Land).
