[ariestiyansyah]

• [x] Think Like an Entrepreneur, Wherever You Are

• [x] Listening Is Your Sure Fire, Go-to Career Strategy

Dude! By “listening” I mean you not only shut your mouth long enough for the other person to talk, but you also shut down the voice in your head when it tries to tell you what to say next. You concentrate on the speakers, and you hear what they say even if it means you have to fight the urge to be defensive or interrupt.

Listen...

• When you're starting something new
• When you're become leader
• When you're trying to make case (hmmmm)
• When you want to look confident
• When you are in the middle (middle yah!)

[ariestiyansyah]

• [x] Tweak Your Brand to Send Clear Messages

Usually leader:

• Manage appearances (too mainstream)
• Build expetise and let it shine
• Show up like a leader

Try these strategies to manage your brand

• Look in the mirror (people are more likely to regard you as successful if you fit in with the crowd and look professional)
• Research current brand (yours!)
• Promote work (yours!)
• Shape online presence

• [x] Start Now to Build Leadership into Your Brand

Leadership as part of your brand, this four-part exercise can help you define and project a leadership brand that will serve you well:

• Create vision of leadership
  • what characteristics set these people apart?
  • which of these characteristics do I want people to use when they describe me?
  • which of these qualiies sounds most like me when I am at my best?
• Expand vision list
  • always growing
  • self-aware and goof at building relationships
  • Engaged and positive
  • Service oriented
  • Well organized
  • Collaborative
  • Energetic
• Study the vision list
• Act this way: A key to projecting your brand is identifying the attitudes and behaviors that will earn the reputation you want

• [x] Power up by Tweaking Your Personal Style

Note to myself: Did somebody tell you that if you work hard and do a great job, it won’t matter what you wear to work? Sorry, that’s just not the case.

Times to kick your style up a notch, Another time for a redo is when your career is on an upswing. A chic new look can be a subtle way to let the world know that you are on a roll. And you may want to buff up your look when you:

• Work with younger people (I've done it!)
• Work with older people (I've done it)
• Interact with clients or customers
• Giving a speech
• Hope to move up
• Seeking new position (I think not, I am enjoy with my life)
• Want to avoid streotypes
