'Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.' -- Ferris Bueller As we near the end of July (only a few weeks of summer remaining here in the Northern Hemisphere), it seems like time is flying by. What have you accomplished that you set out to achieve in 2022? What still remains on your to-do list for the year?
As you evaluate your goals at these month-end milestones, remember that goals are clay. They can reform and change as you learn, circumstances change, and your life evolves.
While setting goals is important, we don't want them to become bricks that weigh us down. |

As we look forward to the next season, and soon the next year, we'll see more people re-evaluating their careers.
How can we help them take the positive from their past with them as they recreate their careers toward the future? How can we help them avoid feeling like they have to start over or hide their past (which we know they can't) as they build their story toward the future?
This is where the concept of personal branding comes into play. Although many people talk about personal branding in the context of self-promotion, reputation, or online footprint, personal branding goes much deeper.
At the core, personal branding is about understanding who you are. That confidence radiates forward. When you pair confidence with a deep understanding of your audience and how your unique background adds value to them, you have a powerful story! When clients slow down to build this understanding, their stories resonate, their community grows in a way that supports their goals, and they realize how to leverage who they are and what they've done into a new role. In this video, you can get a preview into personal branding foundation elements you can use with clients. What aspect would you like to talk about more with your clients? Reply and let me know!
Marie Zimenoff
CEO, Career Thought Leaders
P.S. You can get tools to walk your clients through their personal brand foundation in the Certified Personal Branding Strategist program starting August 23.
