From time to time, I volunteer in my kids schools. I always love doing so—it’s like getting a sneak peek into the “private lives” my kids live at school.
There was one particular year when my daughter was probably in first or second grade, and I was in her classroom one day, helping with a reading activity. Eventually the activity wrapped up and all the kids lined up to head out for recess.
My eyes scanned the kids as they stood in line. The boys were all mostly dressed in dry-fit shirts and athletic pants and the girls in leggings and t-shirts. Nothing out of the ordinary there.
But then, I saw Kiki.
Kiki was standing near the end of the line, popping the collar of her denim coat that was covered in sparkly sequins. She had on a hot pink tutu skirt, matching hot pink tights, and black Converse high tops.
She stood up straight, with that air of a young elementary school kid that’s equal parts confident and oblivious.
I was completely fixated on Kiki—I could not stop watching her. As the kids filed out the classroom door to race off to recess, the personal brand strategist in me lit up.
Now THAT is the power of a personal brand, I thought to myself.
Here in a classroom full of kids, Kiki stood out so clearly. Sure, all of the kids had their differences and were all unique in their own ways, but Kiki made it known. She knew what made her different, and she wasn’t afraid to show it.
Kiki can serve as a great example for any business owner, especially in our current climate of Coronavirus. There has never been a more important time to find a way to stand out— it might literally be the thing that makes or breaks your business.
The key is to pinpoint your personal brand—the things about you that make you unique and help you stand out from the competition in your industry.
It might be your particular skill set, your experience, your client roster, or the unique way you deliver your service. It might be your point of view, your creative packages, your personality, or your above-and-beyond customer service.
Whatever it is, it’s crucial that you uncover it and put it to work for you as you market your business.
