How are you branded? What do people think about you, your blog, your facebook, your picture, the way you dress, your overall image? We’ve always wondered what other people think about us, and this is just another way of asking that same question, except in this case I’d like to emphasize that you have control over your brand.
I started thinking a bit about this last week and I have found myself wondering how I’m perceived at work, online, etc. My twitter account says something about me. My blog says something. My work says something, my clothes say something, the way I talk to people says something.
So here’s the challenge - how do you want to be portrayed? Are you doing everything you can to be portrayed that way?
It’s hard enough for me to figure out how I want to be portrayed, let alone make sure everything I do is in line with that line of thought. How do you view me? If someone says “define Colin” - what are the first words that HONESTLY come to mind?
Just something to think about (but I want your feedback!). Take care.
Colin
