6. CAREER MANAGEMENT
Personal branding is the process by which
individuals differentiate themselves by
identifying and articulating their Unique
Value Proposition, whether professional
or personal, and then leveraging across
platforms with a consistent message and
image to achieve a specific goal.
7. CAREER MANAGEMENT
Personal Branding is for everyone !
• For some people it seems obvious (Steve Jobs,
Donald Trump, Oprah Winfrey…)
• But for most of us, it’s not… every day we are
branding ourselves without being AWARE of it
TOM PETERS
All of us need to understand the importance of branding. We are CEOs
of our own companies: Me Inc. To be in business today, our most
important job is to be head marketer for the brand called You.
8. CAREER MANAGEMENT
It is important because it is YOU
• Your Personal Brand is your reputation and your
legacy
• It is your very own way to stand out from the
crowd
• It is a way for you to take control of your life and
your career
• It is a very exciting but sometimes intimidating
process > know your true self > build selfconfidence !

11. CAREER MANAGEMENT
Defining your own Personal Brand 2/2
• Figure out what else you bring to the table
– Let you ‘personality shine’ ie your personality attributes
– Highlight your educational accomplishments

• Conduct a self analysis and gain a 360 view of yourself
– Involve your friends & family

MALCOLM FORBES
Too many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what
they are.

TIM FERRISS
Personal branding is about managing your name — even if you don’t
own a business — in a world of misinformation, disinformation, and
semi-permanent Google records. Going on a date? Chances are that
your “blind” date has Googled your name. Going to a job interview?
Ditto.
19. CAREER MANAGEMENT
Build your Brand around 10 questions
Clarity and awareness
1. What is your vision and purpose?
2. What are your top 5 values?
3. What are your top brand attributes and
strengths?
4. How do others see you– at work, at home,
anywhere ?
20. CAREER MANAGEMENT
Consistency and adversity
5. Who are (could be) your competitors?
6. What sets you apart from the competition?
7. What are your top 3 challenges?
Consistency in your actions
8. What are your top goals for the next year and
next 5 years?
9. Who is your target audience?
10.How do you communicate with your audience?
21. CAREER MANAGEMENT
Design your Personal Brand Statement
•
•
•
•
Your specialty — who you are
Your service — what you do
Your audience — who you do it for
Your best characteristics — what you’re
known for

Really good tool!
I don't mind about the language, as long as the person chairing the webinar speaks good english
(like today). I think it is great to get such help from Skema. I wish it could be longer than 1hour.
Thank you!
"Thank you so much !
For the next time, schedule a Q&A session at the end of the webinar would be very helpful !
Very good initiative
Sessions very useful for me ! (I want to make my career in the US especially in sports industry)
Thank you for all.
See you next session !
"Thanks you for that I think a lot of SKEMA's students would appreciate this type of event !
perfect timing, good topic with expert in their domain. to be continued !
Thank you for the session. There were a lot of valuable tips. For future sessions, I'd be interested in
topics like networking in the US, how to handle career changes or career moves in the US for
example.
"The way the webinar is organized is really good, especially the live questionnaire that enable the
speakers to know more about the needs of the audience, which is even not really possible during
real/physical conferences.
Keep going! Maybe my advice would be to send a survey to alumni to know what are the hot topics
they are d that you could talk about during future webinars. "
