在MPW女性峰會(huì)的“雄韜偉略:商業(yè)與個(gè)人品牌的交匯點(diǎn)”(Bold Visions:The Intersection of Business and Personal Branding)研討會(huì)上,克羅切克與菲利普莫里斯國際公司(Philip Morris International)美洲地區(qū)總裁兼美國業(yè)務(wù)首席執(zhí)行官史黛西·肯尼迪和Adecco 集團(tuán)美國基金會(huì)主席喬伊斯·羅素一道,探討如何實(shí)施切實(shí)可行的舉措,來打造真實(shí)、有韌性的個(gè)人品牌,從而為職業(yè)發(fā)展鋪平道路。

1.監(jiān)測(cè)你的“數(shù)字尾氣”
如果人們?cè)诖蛟靷€(gè)人品牌方面不知該從何做起,羅素表示,一開始可以看看自己所謂的“數(shù)字尾氣”,也就是自己在線上的痕跡。
自己的社交媒體資料是如何介紹自己的?谷歌搜索中都有自己的什么內(nèi)容?完成這項(xiàng)舉措時(shí)頭腦中浮現(xiàn)的這些關(guān)鍵詞可以為個(gè)人品牌打造指明正確的方向。
為了向大眾展示如何操作,羅素查看了《財(cái)富》雜志記者、主持人艾麗·加芬克爾的社交媒體賬號(hào)。根據(jù)加芬克爾的“數(shù)字尾氣”,羅素想到了“好奇”和“智慧”這兩個(gè)詞,并將其作為初始關(guān)鍵詞。她表示,這些舉措對(duì)于自身專長定位自身和品牌打造來說是非常好的起點(diǎn),或者至少能了解當(dāng)前他人對(duì)自己的看法。
2.填空,“我是一個(gè)(什么樣)的人?!?/strong>
另一個(gè)打造有分量個(gè)人品牌的舉措就是發(fā)現(xiàn)自己擁有哪些獨(dú)特技能或能力。不妨問自己,希望因什么而被人們熟知。克羅切克表示:“她是一個(gè)(什么樣)的人,把空填上?!?/p>
這三位嘉賓都表示,個(gè)人品牌能夠而且大概率隨著人生階段的不同而改變。在其職業(yè)初期,克羅切克給自己的定位是“在投資某支股票前必須咨詢的人”。如今,她成為了通過Ellevest“幫助女性獲取財(cái)富的人”。
克羅切克表示:“如果成功了,他們就會(huì)一個(gè)勁地說‘你是一個(gè)(什么樣)的人’,然后你就獲得了一個(gè)非常成功的個(gè)人品牌?!?/p>
3.接受針對(duì)你的人
一旦你的個(gè)人品牌成功之后,你便會(huì)脫穎而出。在你脫穎而出之后,你可能會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)總有人針對(duì)你,與你唱反調(diào)。嘉賓們表示,不要糾結(jié)于仇恨,因?yàn)樗t早會(huì)出現(xiàn)。

克羅切克并不在意這些負(fù)面看法,她將此戲稱為在別人頭腦中“免費(fèi)居住”。她說:“接受那些針對(duì)你的人,壓力是一種特權(quán)?!?/p>
4.保持真我
真實(shí)性是確保個(gè)人品牌適合自己的關(guān)鍵因素。

5.拒絕冒充者綜合癥(自我能力否定傾向——譯者注)
人們很容易患上冒充者綜合癥,尤其是在職業(yè)初期。然而,羅素詢問觀眾,“如果你不能勝任,誰能?”
肯尼迪還提到了她推崇的白名單舉措,也就是寫下某個(gè)局勢(shì)中可能出現(xiàn)的最好結(jié)果和最壞結(jié)果,以及你所掌握的導(dǎo)致上述兩種結(jié)果的證據(jù)。她經(jīng)常發(fā)現(xiàn),人們大部分時(shí)候會(huì)自己嚇自己,并因此而畏縮不前。白名單會(huì)告訴你,你比自己想象的更勝任,更有能力。將自己希望的未來和選擇可視化,可以幫助你走上成功之路。

克羅切克稱自己意識(shí)到:“我比他們聰明,但他們是業(yè)界的主宰者。我可以打敗他們。”

From Left to Right: Allie Garfinkle, Senior Reporter, Finance, Fortune; Stacey Kennedy, President, Americas; Chief Executive Officer, U.S. Business, Philip Morris International Sallie Krawcheck, Co-founder and CEO, Ellevest Joyce Russell, President, Adecco Group US Foundation.
Ellevest co-founder and CEO Sally Krawcheck says, “Every important decision about your career is made when you’re not in the room.” And that’s why having a strong personal brand is critical.
At the Most Powerful Women (MPW) conference’s Bold Visions: The Intersection of Business and Personal Branding panel, Krawcheck joined Stacey Kennedy, President of Americas and CEO of U.S. Business at Philip Morris Internationa, and Joyce Russell, President of Adecco Group US Foundation, to discuss actionable steps to create authentic, resilient personal brands that pave the way for career growth.
Whether you’re aiming for a boardroom position or just looking to make your next career move, the panelists agreed that personal branding isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a crucial tool for success. Here are five key takeaways from the leaders when considering your personal brand:
1.Monitor your “digital exhaust”
If you’re not sure where to start building your personal brand, Russell says a key place to begin is to look at your so-called “digital exhaust” aka what’s out there about you online.
What do your social media profiles say about you? What does a quick Google search reveal? Some of the keywords that come to mind when completing this exercise could point you in the right direction for your brand.
In an exercise for the crowd, Russell looked at the social media accounts for moderator Allie Garfinkle, a Fortune reporter. Russell came up with the terms “curious” and “intelligent” as starting keywords based on Garfinkle’s digital exhaust. She said these exercises are great as a starting point for framing your expertise and branding, or at least understanding how you’re currently perceived.
2.Fill in the blank “I am the person who ___”
Another exercise to build a strong personal brand is to identify what unique skills or offerings you bring to the table. It helps to ask what you want to be known for.
“She’s the person who… fill in the blank,” Krawcheck said.
All three panelists noted that your personal brand can, and probably will, change over your life. Early in her career, Krawcheck viewed herself as “the person you must speak to before you invest in this stock.” Now she’s “the person who helps women gain wealth” with Ellevest.
“If you can make it so they only say it about you, ‘you are the one who,’ then you have a very successful personal brand,” Krawcheck said.
3.Embrace the haters
When your branding is working, you’ll start to stand out. And when you start to stand out, you might notice you start getting haters or naysayers. Panelists on Monday said not to get too stuck on the hate, because it will always show up.
“I’ve been on the cover of Fortune twice, but I’m also the only person who has been fired on the front page of the newspaper twice,” Krawcheck said discussing public attention–both positive and negative before adding to laughs. “It was so fun the first time, I was like, let’s do it all over again.”
Krawcheck shrugged off the negativity joking about “l(fā)iving rent-free” in people’s brains. “Embrace the haters,” she said. “Pressure’s a privilege.”
4.Stay authentic
Authenticity is key to making sure your branding works for you.
“You have to be really authentic,” Russell said, adding that she leans on the PIE acronym for career advancement. PIE references performance, image, and exposure. That theory says a combination of your work performance, how people perceive you, and the learning opportunities you’re given are key to growing and advancing your career.
Russell emphasized that your image, the ‘I’, is your personal branding. That should be true to you regardless of the company you work at.
5.Say no to imposter syndrome
Imposter syndrome is easy to have, especially early on in your career. But Russell asked the audience, “if not you, then who?”
Kennedy also mentioned a white sheet exercise she recommends where you write the best possible and worst possible outcomes of a scenario and any evidence you have for either outcome. Typically, she finds that a lot of what holds people back is a story they’ve created in their head, and a white paper will reveal that you’re more qualified and capable than you think. Visualizing the future and choices you want to make, can also help set you up for success.
Krawcheck on the other hand said she just doesn’t allow herself to feel imposter syndrome. She mentioned that early on in her career, she worked with men who would leave photocopies of their genitals on her desk and actively sought to push women like her out of the financial world.
“But I was smarter than them,” Krawcheck said she realized. “They are no smarter than I am and they’re the masters of the universe. And I can outwork them.”
That mentality helped her move beyond any imposter syndrome she felt at the time. It also shaped her brand as she understood she had something valuable to offer even when up against toxicity.
