Personal Impact?

Who is your target market or audience and are you reaching them?

Yes, we all have a target market or audience.  This is the group of people who have an effect on our success.  And they extend way beyond how we evaluate 360˚.

 
    •    Ex-colleagues who may endorse you
    •    Recruiters who may headhunt you
    •    Professional associations who may recommend you
    •    The media who may promote you
    •    Those you work with and your stakeholders
    •    Your current and potential clients 

Collectively, they represent the group of people who affect your ability to be successful now, and in the future.

Are you reaching them?

I should ask too, are you making the right impact when you do?

We are all aware of the rare few who seem to get this right most of the time - those who seem to shine even through adversity.  For many others, its all a little hit or miss.  You think you are creating the right impact, but are not entirely sure.  For some, you know that something is not quite right but can't quite put your finger on the problem.

What's the answer?

Understanding, developing and effectively communicating your personal brand allows you to create the impact that you desire.

And the world is really paying attention to 'impact' right now.  We hear the phrases 'personal impact', professional impact' and 'client impact' all the time.  These are the soft skills that are at the heart of our success.  Without them, all of our personal and professional development has little chance of getting us there.
