As
a man thinketh so he is.
As a man thinketh... |
This
gives an experience of a man being. Not of a man hoping to become! It actually
affirms that a man is as he thinks.
Well
the dictionary defines branding as the process of making something.
I
beg to differ; you cannot make something that is already made. A house is not
made in ten years. No. The ten years are simply a process of bringing to sight
what is already existent in the mind. No wonder “…things
which are seen were not made of the things which do appear…” (Hebrews 11; 3
KJV)
As
educators, we are constantly training staff in organizations and youth to
create their own brands, they have been trained to brand themselves and
therefore become that which they intend to.
Well it’s high time the order switched. Branding is not a “to-be” practice.
It is a “now” experience. It is an”I am” experience and not an” I want to be/ I
will be” experience.
True
branding is when you make your house and spend a year building it. This clearly
shows a distinction between making
and building.
Make your brand! |
Making
is when you create something! Building
is when you gather bricks together to put in place that which you have already
made. Surely one cannot hire a structural engineer without an architectural
plan.
In
regards to organizational branding, It
is not an aspect of working towards becoming something but rather acknowledging
that you are(make) and thence
working towards building that which you already are(build).
The best
youth empowerment team does not have to strive with actions geared towards becoming
what it already is. It simply has to act and behave as the best youth
empowerment team there is. That is true branding
True branding is a now experience! |
Branding
is a now experience. Do not act, behave, administer, talk, walk or consult a
particular way to become that which you want to be. Simply make yourself and build
the brand. Do not do anything to become the best banker. Make yourself the best banker. The building the brand will edify you as the best banker.
