In the first session, the speaker explained easy ways to build personal branding by first explaining what personal branding really is. Personal branding is a marketing strategy focused on your most important product: you. Developing a personal brand requires figuring out who you really are (your skills, values, passions, and personality), who you want to serve (your target market or audience), and how you different from the competition (your unique niche).
Gideon Satria as a public speaker enthusiastically explained, “Know yourself, start with uniqueness, passion, and weaknesses that we have! After getting to know yourself, set up your goals! Well of course it’s a must to set the goals that we need to achieve. This is meant to help us set a clear vision, each journey, whatever the journey is, there must be goals right? That is why it is important to identify early on so that the process we go through be directed well. After doing the two main points above what we must do is innovation, consistency, and relevancy. Everything that dreams of development from time to time of course needs innovation consistent and relevant with the condition and reality present, and with that everything will run well, according to what is expected.”
In the second session, the speakers explained about going abroad, nowadays, going abroad is not something odd to do, it is now a must. This is because going abroad will provide experience, where one’s activities are not just campus routines that sometimes can bore one too but give priceless moments.
