Were you a big Michael Jackson fan? I still dance to his music. Mostly his early songs before Bad. I am a big Jackson 5 fan actually. Writing this, I specifically think about the song “You are not alone“, it is because multiple times I have heard this year: “I am glad I am not alone. There are so many people dealing with the same issues.â€
Yes!
You are not alone
You can ask for help
But most women won’t ask for help
And that is why the problem cannot be solved.
I love how Katja Kok-Keizer talks about this issue in her BrandedU video. Her advice is: “Dare to take chances and ask for help.” Listen to her story in the below video.
I was really honored to have been invited to the Masterclass Identity Leadership on 2 December, hosted by ABN AMRO in Amsterdam. One of their key note speakers was: Stedman Graham!! Yes ladies I was one step away from the Big O hahahahahhaha. Stedman has been Oprah’s life partner for almost 30 years. What I learned from him is that you need to take control of your own personal development. And then he used my favorite sentence: “What you focus on expands.”​
Giving back, is what Oprah always does. I believe she cleared the way for people to look at a different way to their wealth. So when Facebook’s CEO announced to be giving away most of his fortune to charity. Call me a romantic but I really was happy to hear that. I hope more incredibly wealthy people will follow, I mean who needs 45 billion dollars for themselves anyway?
I will soon be announcing a great tool for you to start your own personal development in 2016 and to start building your brand pro-actively. Because remember Personal Branding is simply the answer to this question: What do YOU want to be known for?
