I would have been totally missing out if I had not sent a personalized connection request to this one.❤️ Personal branding isn't just about putting yourself out there; it's also about connecting with the right people. Meeting Rashiqua Feroze was nothing short of inspiring. We talked all things personal branding, and no I'm not going to spill any "key takeaways from the meet" here, let's just say you're missing out if you aren't following her yet.😌 Trust me, her insights are worth every scroll and her approach to personal branding is refreshing. She truly knows how to make your story resonate with the right audience.💡 There’s something powerful about people who not only talk about branding but also live it authentically and wholeheartedly.🫶🏼 Go check out her profile, and don't sleep on those connections guys! They might just turn out to be game-changers.✨ PS. When was the last time you randomly accepted all those invitation requests after ghosting LinkedIn for a while? Or sent connection requests to random people in your suggested section without a second thought? #PersonalBranding #LinkedInConnections #Networking

There are three levels of visibility: 1. Internal Visibility   I call it also Visibility to Self.   It all starts with introspection. This is why you shy away from visibility or feel unnatural when networking, speaking up, presenting yourself to people, or sharing your stories—you've never asked yourself who you are, what you want, or where you are going. You've never looked inside to uncover your true nature, talents, and goals.   Everything changes when you dare to look into the mirror and see yourself, sometimes for the very first time.     2. External Visibility   This is the layer everybody talks about—putting yourself out there, online or offline presence, being "seen." It's when you start taking intentional and strategic action to attract the people and opportunities you want in your life to achieve the goals you uncovered in step No. 1. External visibility will never feel natural if it's against your personality, your values, and your message. You won't stick to it, and you'll feel like a fake or an imposter if it's not aligned with who you are.     3. Visibility for Impact    This is the ultimate layer—using your voice, message, and platform for something bigger than you. You don't have to "look" for the impact or meaning behind what you do—it comes naturally if steps 1 and 2 are done properly. But it's the cherry on top because your personal branding efforts taste good only if they are not just about you and your ego.   If you feel repelled by personal branding and think it's not for you, the reason could be you never went through step No. 1.   If you feel you don't need personal branding, maybe you never thought you could use it for something bigger than yourself.   Both these things can lead you to greater fulfilment and satisfaction, whatever you do professionally.   If you never explored personal branding from this perspective, sign up for my virtual workshop on Tuesday, the 25th of June, and I'll show you how to make personal branding work for you and truly enjoy it.

The Power of Personal Branding This weekend, I went to a birthday party and bumped into an old friend. We hadn't seen each other in a while, but he mentioned how he had been following posts from Streamline Recruitment and myself. It's amazing how personal branding can bridge gaps and keep connections alive, even when we haven't stayed in touch and was a point of discussion. Nowadays, personal branding isn't just a nice-to-have - it's a must. A strong online presence is like a constant representative, helping us connect and influence others. My friend's comment really highlighted this - our content was being noticed and appreciated, even when we weren't in direct contact. Here's why personal branding is so important: - Visibility - Posting regularly boosts your visibility. You never know who's paying attention to your work. - Trust - Sharing your insights and knowledge builds trust and establishes you as an expert in your field. - Connections - It creates genuine engagement and helps you stay connected with your network beyond just face-to-face interactions. What strategies do you find useful for personal branding? I'd love to hear your thoughts! #PersonalBranding #ProfessionalGrowth #Networking #HGVrecruitment

#socialmedia #beginnersmyths #authenticity #consistency Personal branding multifaceted Physical 🆚 Digital Here’s why it matters ↓ Personal branding( physical)⤵️ 🔸It goes beyond just having a polished resume or LinkedIn profile. 🔸It's about how you present yourself, both online and offline. 🔸The way you dress speaks volumes about your professionalism & confidence. 🔸Professionals, especially those in client-facing roles, must understand this. 🔸Your attire can signal your attention to detail and respect for cultural nuances. In today's digital age, personal branding extends to social media(digital)⤵️ ♂️Your online presence should reflect your expertise and values. ♂️A cohesive personal brand can set you apart from your peers. ♂️Sharing your story and achievements helps build lasting connections. ♂️Networking becomes more effective when your image is well-defined. ♂️It's about visual representation, storytelling, and online presence. ♂️Mastering this can significantly influence your career path. ⏏️Conclusion: Social media has us messed up. 50 likes and 5 comments are not nothing. 👉Social media isn't about the numbers. A few tips to change your perspective: 1. Imagine real people: Visualize 50 people complimenting you. 5 people writing you a nice note in one day. 2. Value every interaction: Each like and comment is someone taking time to engage with you. 3. Quality over quantity: Focus on the meaningful connections rather than the numbers. 4. Celebrate small wins: Appreciate every bit of positive feedback you receive. 5. Stay grounded: Behind every like and comment is a real person. 6. Shift your mindset: See social media as a tool for connection, not a popularity contest. --Consistency is the key in both the realms Physical or digital. --Often, though, authenticity is the best way to go.

What did I learn about Personal Branding in 2024? // Part 3 Our personal brands have much more to do with our lives outside office hours ⏱️ than we might think. While we often associate personal branding with professional achievements, job titles, and career or business goals, a personal brand is, first and foremost, a GUT FEELING about another person. This gut feeling that others develop about us doesn’t always depend on what we do at work. Instead, we can shape these impressions through our hobbies or interests. For example, although I have been practicing cold water dipping for just over a year, it often serves as a conversation starter with people I don’t know well. Similarly, the fact that I regularly train at the gym frequently becomes a point of connection with like-minded individuals. These “out of office” moments can reveal a great deal about us – our personal traits, priorities, and goals ✅ And that, too, is a part of our personal brand 💜 #PersonalBranding Persona Cognita

Not all 'Yeses' are created equal in personal branding 🤔 And there is one yes, we want to try and avoid. I've been delving into "Never Split the Difference" by Chris Voss, and came across the 3 types of 'yeses' he describes. It made me think about these when it comes to personal introductions in our professional lives. 🤝 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐘𝐞𝐬 - It's polite, it's the nod you get when someone's heard you, but it’s just the beginning. 🌟 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐘𝐞𝐬 - This is the jackpot. It's the leaning in when they're genuinely intrigued by what you are saying. 🚫 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐢𝐭 𝐘𝐞𝐬 - The one we've all given or received. "Oh, that's interesting," followed by a mental note to move on. It’s a dead-end. This got me thinking about how we introduce ourselves and our personal brand. We aim for a reaction that sparks a conversation, not just a courteous nod. The 'oh, that's interesting' might as well be a 'counterfeit yes' - a polite exit with no intention of engagement. Let's shift our focus. Don’t just aim for any 'yes'. Chase the 'Commitment Yes'. Look for the connections that stick, the responses that lead to conversations, and the introductions that turn into opportunities. Think about it – when you introduce yourself, are you looking for polite nods or engaged inquiries? Let's strive for introductions that make people lean in, not out #PersonalBranding #ChrisVoss #Networking
