Passion (Values): Your brand must express what you care deeply about. Talents (Quirks):
Natural gifts, learned skills, education, knowledge, and bizarre obsessions. Experiences: Your projects, accomplishments, adventures, big wins and fantastic falls. Tell your story! Self-Expression: where talent meets passion! Giving all you've got. "Shake what your mama gave you!" WOW!: The moments / times you always remember, the memories you cherish. Projects that brought out your best. Unique-ability: The combination that is unique to you. The "way of thinking" and "seeing the world" that is special
Contextual Points
- Understand that you have been normalized and domesticated as a part of the
"growing up" process. This is not BAD, it just is the way it is. Now, as an adult, you can break out of the mold.
- You discover your talents by asking others what you do best. You discover your quirks by asking your siblings what about you annoyed them. ;-)
- When you show up as your "real" self you will add value to those people who can really benefit.
- There is a way to leverage all of your experiences, talents, and passions into a service with RELENTLESS demand!
- Make connections by sharing experiences.
Key distinction: Idiosyncratic vs. normal
The essential questions:
- Who are you, really?
- What is your product?
- How is it special?
- How is it different from other similar offerings?
- How can you demonstrate cool?
Messages
Flaunting your quirks takes tremendous courage. Remember, the opposite of courage is
conformity NOT cowardice.
Everyone undervalues his / her talents – primarily because they are so natural that you
take them for granted. Most people think that everyone can do what they do
