What do you do if your personal branding doesn't align with your team's values and mission?

This is a normal issue people with teams often experience. Here is something you can do about it. 1. Communicate effectively with your team. 2. Maintain an SOP with your team. 3. Analyze where you best meet each other. 4. Be adaptable to their opinions.

When your teams' value don't align with your Personal Brand it can be difficult to promote your company and your teams work. There is often a focus on company values but I would argue there are also subsets of values that exist in each team. For example, your team may value teamwork or problem solving. One of the best things to do is have an open discussion with your team over coffee around values. You may be pleasantly surprised at what you find.

Employee Branding is the new black. Looking on aligning with everyone can be challenging, and not everyone has to have the same personal branding approach. HOWEVER One person has to take charge of this and create guidelines employee's should follow. (only if everyone agrees, no one should be pushed to do this!) But before that, create a fun and interactive brainstorming session with everyone, or hire someone who know what they are doing, and agree on the branding itself. Then once everyone agrees, that one person who's in charge can go onto developing the guidelines and everyone else sets this in motion and in their personal brands.

Creo que podría ser una oportunidad de adaptabilidad, darle la vuelta a la hoja, darle la vuelta, siempre buscamos estar alineados con ciertas marcas o con ciertos proyectos, claro esto nos da una zona en la cual nos sentimos más cómodos, pero por un momento pensemos en que si no es así y realmente estamos buscando soluciones efectivas, puede ser una oportunidad, no es mirarlo positivamente es mirarlo objetivamente, trazamos una línea de trabajo y tener siempre mente abierta a nuevas ideas, nuevas perspectivas, contar siempre con el equipo es fundamental. Siempre he considerado que salirnos de vez en cuando de esa zona cómoda nos da oportunidad de nuevo conocimiento.

Start with an exciting and fun brainstorming session. Where: → Everyone gets to participate → Everyone gets to suggest ideas → Everyone is hear, seen and listened to → Everyone feels involved in this project You cannot "make" people do things on their personal profiles, unless it's a collaborative effort and you all land on the same page!

Ask yourself: Do I truly support and stand by my work? If you answer YES → Congratulations, you're aligned, you're in the right place, you're all set for success. If you answer NO → Congratulations, you'll find a better fit and be more happy. In situations like these, where we get confronted with conflicting values, it's important to stand up for yourself and reflect on how things really are. (a little off the personal branding here, but the point is you should never settle and agree with things you don't stand by, even if it's re-branding your profile on LinkedIn for the sake of a company, which feels inauthentic)

Deep dive into your personal brand by making a mind map of all the facets it contains - do the same for the team's M&V. Now find common synergies and spend some time brainstorming how they come together with the least friction yet most incentive - this tends to work great and can be done individually or in teams!

We're all different, and so are our brands. That's it. So, there's no need for being one of the many if you can be one and only. The mastery here is to show flexibility and openness to other ideas or/and present new ones, in the case of building personal brand. Another part is having a brand that overall represents the core values that are the same (or similar) to the clients/companies you work with. If you show them clearly, you will attract the right people.

What I would do in this situation is: → Really take some time off and tune in with myself. → Reflect on my values, on my goals and dreams. → Recognise your strength and value you bring into this world. → Realise what are the options right now. My personal brand was diminished once, so I left the environment. I was not recognised nor I had the chance to feel "free" in my personal branding approach. You do you. Just make sure you feel happy.

Por experiencia sé, tanto si comienzas un nuevo empleo o formas parte de un nuevo proyecto, tienes que adaptarte y respetar la cultura de tu nuevo entorno profesional. ¡No es el fin del mundo! NO vas a perder tu identidad de tu marca personal, al contrario, si te han invitado a formar parte de un nuevo proyecto o una nueva propuesta laboral es por que han visto y apreciado tus valores. Aprendes a desarrollar como puedes adaptar nuevas habilidades o valores que desconocías y descubres que has potenciado tu marca personal.

Try to seek alignment through dialogue but if it doesn't work, stand your ground. Everybody's situation is different. But your personal brand will stay with you forever. It should be a reflection of who you truly are. Your job won't last a lifetime. So don't betray yourself. Be open to what new things you can incorporate if they feel right to you. But ultimately you have to protect your own brand. Adapt how you must to work comfortably with your team. But do not change your true values.

Assess differences between your personal brand and team values. Adapt where possible and communicate openly with team members to find common ground for better integration.

A personal brand is extremely personal, which means it comes even before you join a team or a new one. What your personal brand does need to include, is ways you collaborate with others, address crises and conflicts, and your methods of recalibrating to become someone who is pleasant and inspiring to work with.

Según mi experiencia, nunca vas hacer cambios si no lo ves necesario o hay situaciones inesperadas que te llevan a modificar y adaptarte sin perder tu esencia de lo que eres. Por temas personales tuve que cambiar de ciudad para un proyecto que no funcionó, me propusieron una oferta para un puesto que no tenia nada que ver con mi experiencia, ¿Qué conseguí? Aprendí nuevas herramientas, las adapté y logre aportar un valor añadido hasta que finalizó, no perdí, al contrario, adaptarse me sirvió para reforzar mi marca personal.
