I recently made a group presentation on personal branding and the influence of social media.
As a co-chair, I was responsible in leading the other committee members on deadlines and expectations. My co-chair and I were in constant communication with each other and with the others, making sure no information was left out.
The objective of the presentation was to educate the audience a little more on the importance of using social media tactics to effectively enhance one’s personal brand and reputation. We divided the presentation into various sections including a personal brand tool kit. We delegated sections of the presentation providing an outline of what each slide’s topic was to be highlighted. Each member had their own approach to researching their individual topic. Hours of preparation and dedication were evident from the start to the finished product.
When presentation day came, we all presented our individual parts, each one of us contributing to the overall flow of the presentation. Different speaking voices, stances and addresses all contributed to executing a well-put together presentation. This captured the audience’s attention as well as impressed them with some newfound knowledge they weren’t familiar with before they walked through the door.
Teambuilding is a synergy of minds and personalities that come together to collaborate on something whether it’s an event, presentation or project.
That’s what this group did!
Everyone knew the importance of this presentation and how their individual participation reflected back to each of their own personal brands. Everyone likes working with team players (makes life a lot easier!), and everyone would like to be considered as one in respect to their own individual personal brand.
It’s about attitude, commitment and collaboration. Some people have it, some people strive for it, but no matter what, we all have control over our personal brand and reputation. Your personal brand speaks in the actions you convey and the results that follow.
