THE INTERSECTION OF PERSONAL BRANDS & PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS
Everything you do is an extension of your personal brand. Your personal brand is the feeling that other people have when they spend time with you. Everything we do (in life and business) is done through personal relationships. At the intersection of these is Emotional Intelligence (EI). EI is the #1 predictor of performance in the workplace. It can be taught and learned. Those that have it perform at a higher level than those that don’t. While all of this feels right, we still find ourselves asking:
- How do I build my personal brand?
- How do I build personal relationships?
- What is emotional Intelligence and how can I develop it?
In this session, attendees will learn how to compete on unique perspective (how you see what you do), unique education (how you know what you do) and unique experience (how you deliver what you do) as the foundation of their personal brand. Participants will learn how to use the 4 Empathic Questions that create personal relationships and/or assess their own EI; identify gaps in Self Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness and Relationship Management.
This interactive session can be delivered in either keynote or workshop format, providing audiences with specific tools to develop skills necessary to lead the next generation of leaders.
All booking is coordinated by Tony Espinosa, Principal at JRA Speakers.
Audiences want three things: to be inspired; to be motivated; and to be challenged.

ME: HOW TO SELL WHO YOU ARE, WHAT YOU DO & WHY YOU MATTER TO THE WORLD

THE COACHING REVOLUTION: THE KEY TO STUDENT SUCCESS (WHY WE NEED A COACH IN LIFE, BUSINESS, AND RELATIONSHIPS)
We are taught that if you want more, you must have more education, more experience, and more opportunity. While this may be true, the reality is, if you want “more” the first thing you must have is more of yourself. 80% of life’s most defining moments happen before age 35. What are those defining moments and what happens after age 35? In our 20’s they teach us to get in the game, in our 30’s they teach us to move up in the game, in our 40’s we try to stay in the game (because those 30 year old’s are so good) and in our 50’s we finally ask, “what do I really want? In every stage we need a coach.
A coach helps us have conversations we don’t want to have, helps us do things we didn’t think we could do, in order to become something we didn’t think we could become. Either you are a coach, you have a coach or you don’t want to be coached. If you don’t have a coach, you will be left behind. The question then becomes – who is coaching you?
- Game Changer Framework
- The Coaching Revolution (You are a Coach, Have a Coach, Or Don’t Want to be Coached)
- Stages of Life and Career
- What Are Brains Are Hard Wired To Do
This interactive session can be delivered in either keynote or workshop format, providing specific tools to develop skills necessary for the next generation of students to navigate successfully through life, business and relationships.
