Discover Personal Brand

Michelle starting by discovering her personal brand is ideal!

To discover her personal brand, Michelle should reflect on her experiences and capabilities and understand her personal interests, motivations, and values and how they may drive her career aspirations of moving into digital communications.

Key Considerations

Michelle’s career planning conversation should occur at the start of a fiscal year, to align with her performance year but can continue and evolve throughout the year. Michelle and her people leader should revisit the conversation periodically to ensure that her development planning aligns with her long-term career plans.

Steps

  • Complete a Career Planning Reflection Guide (find this guide here), which will help Michelle identify her strengths, experiences, values, and motivators to realize her career aspirations. It might look like this:
  • Solicit feedback.
  • Start a career planning conversation with her people leader by sharing her responses to the Career Planning Reflection Guide.
