Personal Positioning Program Details

The work we will do in Find It and Frame It phase enables us to develop a clear message and positioning of your brand, which we will use to develop powerful and consistent communication throughout your short- and long-term endeavors.

Discover your brand. Understand yourself and gain clarity on your vision, purpose, values and passions as well as who and what you uniquely stand for and have to offer. Begin unearthing and extracting your distinguishing factors. In this phase, positioning is everything as we differentiate you from your competition and, most importantly, in the eyes of your target audience. We may use assessment tools (I also analyze the ones you may have already recently taken), such as 360Reach Assessment, StrengthsFinder2.0, Strong Interest Inventory, MBTI, or DISC, Kiersey, Golden, WBI, etc. Gain brand clarity and purpose!

Develop your brand. YES develops branded personal marketing materials that convey your unique message and value proposition. Includes biography, personal brand statement/elevator pitch, résumé, LinkedIn profile, letters of interest/ cover letters, executive narratives and profiles, and more, depending on what you need. In this phase, your brand comes alive and communicates your unique promise of value to the world!

Deliver your brand. Communicate your message with confidence. Coaching for all of your interactions… networking, interviewing, presenting, or pitching, your message should convey all of the benefits you have to offer. Congratulations! You have educated yourself and acquired perhaps the most vital tool in your arsenal for career success!

I work best with accomplished, ambitious, conscientious, and courageous professionals who want to know how to use what they’ve got to get what they want! They love learning and are full of life, ready to take a journey of introspection and transform their entire outlook as they gain clarity around what makes them unique and stand out. They want to learn more about communicating their value in a compelling way both online and get the visibility required to position them for that next right opportunity.

“Going through the 360° Assessment with Kelly has made a huge, lasting impact on my business.  I’ve been in rebranding mode with my business for the past nine months and this process really helped me get clear and excited about my message. The assessment itself is interesting, but having Kelly lead me through the results and help me figure out which parts of my brand are getting across easily and which ones I may need to beef up was extremely valuable.  She had great ideas about using my strengths to differentiate my brand.  I’ve been using all the nuggets gleaned from this experience, and now writing marketing material is so much more focused and fun. I highly recommend you setting up a Reach 360° assessment with Kelly so you know what you are getting across now and how to shift that to represent your full self in the marketplace. JS, Coach and Professional Speaker

“I totally believe in personal branding, my epiphany hit me like a tidal wave.  The “tidal wave” was that through this branding process, I was able to divorce myself; my skills, my experience, my value proposition, from the lack of results in the current job market.  It can get depressing to attach one’s self worth on how many job interviews you get.  Personal branding made me realize I can’t allow the current circumstances affecting everyone looking for a job to define my worth.  Its led to a greater feeling of confidence and realism about what I believe sets me apart from other candidates and how to communicate that to prospective business partners/employers.  I now have a potential offer and two other strong inroads where I am interviewing. Thanks again for your faithful assistance.” DB– Director, Sales Force Effectiveness

“Kelly has the innate ability to connect your vision and talent to the tangible tools needed in this competitive market place. Her branding focus not only allows for the individual to truly know what differentiates them, but also to truly communicate these competitive differentiators throughout the career process. In addition to her talent, her dedication and pursuit of your success is always present.” SK– Director, International Consumer Packaged Goods
