The 7th session with the Republika’s Consul On
"Personal Brand"

Ton: after 47 years Consul, hello! Daghan lng gyud trabaho. School life is intensifying now a-days. Finals na baya. Been dancing, studying, accounting, debating, praying, partying. . . wow! Bottom line, the activities had brought to mind this term consul: “Personal Brand” because it deals with the interplay between the self and the experiences. The same with a product brand, we have this “personal brand” which is distinct in every human person carved by his or her personality, skills, interests, experiences, principles. So consul, how can we carve and develop our personal brand? How could I say this is distinctly “tontonnerish” or “whoeverish”.

Consul: Hahahahaha! A unique topic young one and a delicate one for that matter. Your personal brand is a firm impression or image that comes to mind when people think of you. Thus, it is with great and utter importance to take care and nurture this so called “brand”.

Ton: Ohhh! How could I create and nurture a personal brand?

Why me?

Consul: Simple young one! Start with the mind and heart, the rest will follow. Having a personal brand is all about having first the belief and love in yourself. If you accomplish this, it is easy for you to create that so-called “personal brand”.

Ton: Oh…so confidence and love gyud ang pinaka fundamental. So if have a strong sense of this already then what?

Consul: Then you could play with things. You can now conquer knowledge and relish it, build relationships and accomplish heroic deeds. BUT young one, all must be bonded with a principle that serves the very core of all of this. Yours young one is of that of the Atenean. The very core of that identity that radiates in multi-colors.

Ton: Ya! Come to think that I’ve been is XU since nursery! Radiates in multi colors? What do you mean consul?

Consul: An atenean way of living young one. God as the hub and source of everything you do serves as the lunching pad of plenty of wonderful things. These wonderful things are colorful and heroic. Just give it a ton of Magis and it will surly explode! That is a personal brand, a harmonious mix of principle, love and deeds that will surely create a unique mark to each who nurtures it.

Ton: Thank You Consul! You again gave me a new perception about personal brand ha that is out of the conventional “corporate” notion of it. It is simply living out the principle with love and magis and the “brand” will simply follow.

God loves you!
