The Gautrey Influence Blog: Inspiring Action and Success Since 2008

Personal Brand Word Examples

March 19, 2013 by Colin Gautrey

Below you will find a list of 100 words which you can use to stimulate the creation of your personal brand. All of them are words which my coaching clients have found exciting and practical in terms of allowing them to turn up the volume on their unique and distinctive strengths.

When you look at some of them, you may wonder why anyone would find those words exciting, but this is a very personal thing. They needed to find the right set of words within themselves to light their fire and you need to do the same too.

I would suggest you print out this page and use it in conjunction with the exercise to create your personal brand.
