They call us because we are known as the "Resource Source".  The top question today was from a female career professional who wanted to know what her personal value statement should contain.  Here is my response…

The key to successful personal brand promotion is getting your personal value statement in front of as many opportunity sources as possible.  You should include derivatives of your personal value statement in all your “collateral” such as your resume, bio, profiles and wherever possible on the Internet.

Some of you may have never heard of a personal value statement.  Briefly, a personal value statement is a precise, well-rehearsed personal statement that highlights your value to a prospective employer or business associate.  It includes your role, how you deliver value to the company and the quantifiable results you’ve achieved. Oh, I forgot to tell you that it is only 20-40 words.  Yes, that’s correct.   A personal value statement is 20-40 words in which you must convey your quantifiable value.

Here's another idea for a collateral piece that can enhance your value:  Produce a short PowerPoint presentation describing your personal value statement.  This is a great way to tell your story when the opportunity for a career discussion arises.  A short PowerPoint presentation is a useful selling tool and a great way to capture your personal value statement, case studies and career path story.   

Need answers, call us or email mail me at drlaureen@drlaureen.com. Until next time!  If you have additional information about personal value statements, post your comment. Lets learn together.
