Clark Sun, 24 Feb 2008 20:07:34 +0000 http://5mstrategy.com/wordpress/your-impression/#comment-59 I recently found an exercise that is worth looking at. You ask people that know you at various levels (acquaintances, social friends, close friends, clients, etc) to tell you three words that they would say characterize you. As you see what they say you will find out what "brand" you have created. In creating a personal brand, you need consistency between what you mean your brand to be and what others actually see. By working with your natural tendencies your "brand" eventually starts showing in what you do. After reading your blog and thinking about this exercise, I realize that I need to make my website reflect how I feel about my work instead of being just a page I threw up onto the Internet. My website definitely does not leave the impression I want it to leave. Thanks for the thought provoking post. I recently found an exercise that is worth looking at.
