BRANDING
What is important to you?
During my career development, I discovered that before I could brand yourself, develop personal and career vision and mission statements, first I had to identify what was important to me. What did I value? It changed over the years. I first wanted money and security. But my values changed over the years. This change of “what is important” was made painfully clear after working for the Federal government for 12 years. I realized that change and variety as well as influencing people were vital to me in a career. I realized that creativity, independence, justice, and achievement were personal values that defined who I was. So, I left my security and stability being employed by the government.
