Workshop #1
Personal Brand Story

Personal brand is a broad concept — that’s why we’ll break it down into 12 key areas. We’ll start from the foundation: who you are, your life experiences, and expertise. Then we’ll explore your audience, unique value proposition, monetization potential, and positioning within your field. 

Result: A story that represents you as an expert

A clear understanding of which areas of your personal brand need strengthening — and a compelling story with you at the center, as the hero who solves your client’s problems.

Сommunicate your expertise

Elevate your personal brand by framing your journey as a symbolic story that your clients can relate to.

Foundation: Who You Are

Examples of Questions

What life experiences shaped your core values? What are three key strengths you’re proud of? What challenges have you overcome? What unique skills or knowledge have you developed through your career?

Mission

Examples of Questions

Who do you want to help — and why? What struggles does your clients face? What makes your approach truly different? What values set your brand apart from others in your field?

Archetypes in Brand Building Brand

Brand archetypes represent universal symbols and patterns embedded in our collective unconscious that transcend cultural boundaries and speak to fundamental human desires and motivations. First popularized by psychologist Carl Jung, these symbolic frameworks help brands tap into deep-seated emotional territories that resonate with audiences on a subconscious level.

Ask Your Questions:

Why Reframe Your Experience as a Story?

Your Personal Narrative Shapes Your Path

Just like heroes in myths, we all face challenges. Crafting your own narative helps you define your journey and identify the strengths that drive you forward.

Storytelling Defines Your Identity

Storytelling helps you understand how you see the world and yourself—your values, mission, and unique perspective. You can externalize your challenges as anti-heroes and explore different scenarios. By crafting a story, you create a personal roadmap to your goals, using your own symbols.

People Remember Stories, Not Facts

Facts and skills may establish credibility, but stories create emotional connections. When you tell your story authentically, people relate to your struggles and triumphs.

Reframe Challenges as Growth

By viewing your experiences through the lens of storytelling, you can reframe failures as lessons. This mindset shift not only strengthens you but also boosts confidence.

Attract Opportunities

A well-crafted story draws people in. A clear personal brand story makes it easier for others to understand what you stand for.

The Gap Between Vision and Action

Your hero’s journey isn’t just about where you’ve been—it’s about where you’re headed. By shaping your narrative, you create a roadmap for future goals.
