			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Personal branding is important in our everyday life at work.  We want to portrait that we are a productive and approachable worker in the office.  But is that the case all the time?  Have you wondered why your peers were approach any colleague for help instead of you?  We have the answers for you here.  At times, it’s not just about your capability.  We need to focus on your emotional aspect that you present in front of your peers too!  How are you seen in the eyes of your peers then?<span id="more-365"></span></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>You are seen by your      ability to deliver results</strong> – That’s a plus point.  Your peers are confident with your      capabilities at work.  But if you      are often not delivering results, your peers will be resistance to      approach you for help.  That is,      you’ve got bad credentials…</li>
<li><strong>You are seen by your      consistency in delivering </strong>results – This is different from your ability to      delivery.  This is about your      consistent deliver as per your specified time line.  Is it luck or other factors that allows      you to complete?  As the given      impression is that you may not be trustworthy or confident results, they      may feel hesitant to approach you for help.</li>
<li><strong><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-366" title="girl-poking-out-tongue" src="http://www.lostincubes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/girl-poking-out-tongue.jpg" alt="girl-poking-out-tongue" width="250" height="266" />You are seen by your      reaction in handling situations</strong> – Do you get all work out?  Does your emotion fall into pieces?  Do you worry all night long over the      situation?  Your peers would not      want a fiery monster or a worrisome loser to be in their team, right?</li>
<li><strong>You are seen by your      consistency in handling situations</strong> – Again, it is the question of      consistency and integrity in the way you deal with situations.  Are you trustworthy or do you treat each      situation differently?  Note,      flexibility can be exercised in different context.  The key thing is do you work on the same      principle?  Do you have      integrity?  Think. You would not      want to work with a <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">two-headed      snake</span></em>!</li>
<li><strong>You are seen by the      way you dress at work </strong>– Oddly, an individual with a poorer dress sense      is always labelled a geek.  Your      peers will immediate stereotype you and will that you are not approachable      or “That geek doesn’t understand me!”       Our advice for you if you look like a geek: go around the nearest      shopping mall and buy some proper executive clothes.  Make an effort in your dress sense and      avoid being seen as the garage geek from just across the road!</li>
<li><strong>You are seen by your personality      in front of them</strong> – That is everyday, what you look like in front of your      peers.  Do you look      approachable?  Do you look like a      worrisome person thinking of everything to worry about?  Do you look like a walking volcano      waiting to be erupting on the next thing that comes in your way?  That is what your peers label you.  In this case, due to your negative      personality, your peers will be hesitant to approach you for any help!</li>
</ol>
<p>Having read these points, what do you think you are presenting in front of your peers?</p>
