Great personal branding example here Dan. The way that you present your brand in terms of image is memorable but also comfortable that you could go from one event to another without having to ‘change’. It was also still relevant to both audiences. A favourite and distinctive colour can also be a great way to exude your brand and still remain congruent to your audience. Just my toonies worth.

Great Stuff.

I love getting these…especially on monday mornings…gets me thinking as I’m planning my week.

How do I stand out? I often wear jeans, and dress shirt and tie to work. It’s really comfortable, and I think it “confuses” people. Am I dressed up or dressed down? I mostly counsel 20-something students at a community college and I want to establish credibility as a professional (shirt and tie)…but don’t want to appear as an unapproachable, unrelatable administrator (hence dress jeans)… So I think my attire covers a couple of bases.

Now, if only I could pull off a Fedora like you do!

Great stuff Dan!

I read a really interesting book years ago written by a famous PUA(Pick Up Artist) and he called the technique “peacocking”. Just like the bird, you are showing your “feathers”. Just a way of making others(especially members of the opposite sex) open you instead of you opening them.

Sounds like it works! Lol

Always enjoy reading your stuff. Have a great Holiday Season!

Dan, your story reminds me of the dust-covered cowboy who tethers his flea-bitten horse outside the saloon. They both look like they’ve been buried in the desert for weeks. He orders a scotch and downs it in one gulp. Stepping outside, he removes a large bat from his saddle and faces his horse. He winds up andhits the horse on the side of his head – whereupon the horse wobbles and almost falls to his knees.
Another cowboy, having witnessed this bizarre behaviour, asks: “What the hell was that all about? The first cowboy answers: “It’s time for my horse to eat.” The second cowboy presses on: “But what was that whole thing with the bat? Ya almost killed your horse!” To which the dusty cowboy replies: “Yup, but first ya got to get his attention…”
We all have to figure out how to get our potential audience’s attention. Whether it’s a fedora or a bat, we’ve got to make it easy for them to notice us. Then, and only then, do we get a chance to shine – and show them what we can really do.
A tip of the bat – I mean ‘hat’ – to you for your insights. Keep them coming.
