Guiding students through how to brand themselves in a world where they need to stand out from the noise and create the jobs that likely do not exist today.
12. Your personal brand matters
Your brand is your reputation. It’s your calling card.
It’s what you’re known for and how people experience
you. It’s about bringing who you are to what you do and
how you do it.
Delivering your brand clearly and consistently will create
a memorable experience in the minds of those you
interact with and can open doors to new opportunities.

14. If you’re not branding
yourself, you can be
assured that others
are doing it for you.
15. What is your personal
brand?
Write as many words as you can to describe
how others perceive you based on what you post
online and how you represent yourself in public.
22. People with strong brands are clear
about who they are. They know and
maximise their strengths. Now is
your chance to uncover and define
the unique skills that make you
stand out from the crowd.
30. “Why am I here?”
That’s a question that you may grapple with and refine over a
lifetime. And it is yours alone to discover and define.
We all want to be accepted for being fully and authentically
ourselves. Being your best self, and using your gifts and
strengths in a way that creates a satisfying life, for you and
those that matter to you, is the culmination of living life “on
purpose.
