Working with Henna on my personal brand was a journey that gave me much more than I could possibly have imagined. The process of creating my Brand:YouTM was powerful. It served as the catalyst for a broader understanding of who I am, what I offer and where I want to go. As a result, I have acquired the following:
• A new found appreciation of my uniqueness and a confidence in the value I bring forth;
• An understanding the career path that feels right for me and the energizers I need to be all that I can be;
• A competitive advantage in approaching my current position and pursuing next steps with great intentionality.
I am firmly planted, and that feels great!
The other day I chatted with the guy next to me on the plane and found I had the perfect opportunity to test my brand. He was traveling to Boston for an afternoon business meeting. That led us to the typical “what do you do?” conversation. When I told him my ‘story’, his response gave me positive feedback regarding my value. He said “where were you 2 years ago? We really could have used you.” He went on to explain why. That conversation was timely and certainly gave a boost to my confidence!
When the conversation ended and we returned to our on plane activities, I took my gratitude journal out of my carry on and wrote the following: I am grateful for Henna who is treasured for the inspiration and facilitation required to help me answer the important question of “who am I?”
