Excited to share the second of the four self-development tutorials that I am using to encourage you in your Future Proofing Yourself journey.
Today's video - How to Future Proof Yourself in 2020 - Raising Your Profile (Part 2 of 4) demonstrates that raising your profile is one of the core principles to future proofing yourself. This is about selling yourself and being confident whilst you do it. You also have a professional responsibility to act accordingly so people perceive you in the best possible way.
Self esteem = how do we estimate ourselves (latin)
What does Raising Your Profile mean? In the tutorial I cover the following:
Selling Yourself
be prepared for people to ask questions - why you?
what have you got to offer?
what value and benefit do you bring?
know what you are good at and have examples
what are you about? letting people see your worth
Building Confidence
imposter syndrome
understanding you are best person for the job
what capabilities/skills have you demonstrated over the years?
how well have you handled challenges?
how to develop self-esteem
Professional Responsibility
down days don't happen!
you are always on show, so deliver best service
be really good at what you do
demonstrate your qualities
Please do watch the video where I take you through the 3 key areas to Raising Your Profile in detail.
Next week's tuturial will be focussing on Networking. To be fair, I love networking, just wish I understood in my 20's how beneficial it could be.
