How to Add Leadership to Your Personal Brand

Maybe you already have a personal brand, or maybe you don’t. If you do, you can tweak what you have to focus on leadership with these tips. If you don’t, you can start from scratch using the following:

Decide what you want to accomplish.

Being a leader is all about using your professional strengths to deliver results. What are you good at? What do you want from your career in the next year—or five years? Your starting point for your personal brand should begin with what you’re all about—and what you want to do.

How do you want others to know you?

If coworkers described you in five words, what would you want them to be? Think about your brainstorming for step one, and jot down words that can describe you. Powerful words include: collaborative, independent, creative, experienced, motivated, energetic or innovative.

Define yourself.

Using the words from step two, draft a few phrases to describe you. You might choose: Independent thinker, creative innovator or energetic producer.

Write your brand!

It should be a sentence or phrase that you can use at the very top of your resume. It should represent you honestly, but also showcase the you that you’re striving to become.

Put your personal brand to good use

Once it’s drafted, add it to your resume and put your brand to the test! Reach out to a recruiter and work together to find a job that matches with your dreams and career goals.
