This is what your #personalbrand ought to be about: It is a reflection of your #character, #capability and #credibility. Then how you leverage this to collaborate with others to solve problems and build community - a movement around your ideas and thought leadership. All of this is what allows you to communicate with confidence and exhibit #leadership with impact. This is what we mean when we say OWN YOUR VALUE™ Learn more at www.humejohnson.com #personalbranding #leadershipdevelopment #careeradvice

I work with a lot of smart people in my #leadershipcoaching and consulting practice. Many are mid-career professionals who - despite their qualifications, credentials and experience - feel stuck and dissatisfied in their current role or simply need clarity and direction in their #career. I feel their pain because I know what it’s like to feel stuck in the dreaded career rut. The way out is to ***own your value**by defining your #personalbrand. Then harnessing and leveraging it to build expertise, solve problems, lead with impact in order to achieve the career success you deserve. People like us with credentials, degrees and job titles sadly believe we already have the tools to light the way in our careers. We are the ones who often believe #personalbranding is simply vacuous self-promotion on social media versus a consequential #careermanagement strategy. But forget about social media. Your personal brand is who you are and the unique value you bring to that table. Your #socialmedia is just one tool among many to convey your brand. It is not a substitute for your personal brand. Let’s work together! Learn more at www.humejohnson.com #careersuccess #leadershipskills #jobseekers #leaders #ownyourvalue #careertips

Just a gentle reminder to.....

#Expertise is not merely what you know; it's about sharing it with others. *** But here's the thing: just creating and sharing content won't cut it. You have to build authority - plain and simple. This is crucial to going from simply being knowledgeable to being a #credible expert. First things first: 💓 Figure out your #personalbrand: what are your skills, strengths, experience, and core values. 💓Create a portfolio of work that showcases your expertise. 💓 Show people how your expertise can solve their problems. AND...*this is a big one* 💓Don't be shy. Get out there and speak in public or virtually. This is a great way establish yourself as a #thoughtleader in your field. The more people recognize you as a trusted expert and leader in your field, grows, the more opportunities (bigger and better) come your way. *trust me on this. I'm talking from personal experience* So raise your voice and make yourself visible. Remember, it's not about what you know, it's about sharing it. and build that authority. Go for it! #leadershipcoach #personalbranding #leadershipdevelopment #communicationskills #contentcreator #contentmarketing #thoughtleadership #leadership

A compelling #personalbrand is currency. It serves as a strategic asset to unlock #careersuccess. I can personally attest to the expanding opportunities your land when you build a strong brand and LEAD WITH YOUR VALUE. Crafting a robust personal brand entails several key elements: 1. Clearly define your skills and professional expertise. 2. Showcase your ability to effectively solve problems. 3. Articulate your value with clarity and impact.

How would you rate your #executivepresence ? These are the three must-have traits you need to exude this critical skill. #leadershipdevelopment #leadershipcoach #personalbranding #professionaldevelopment #leadership

A lot of #stress can be avoided with just a change of #perspective. It's okay....All is well. #personalgrowth

How important is building a #personalbrand for your #career?

A large and enthusiastic audience attended the #Masterclass on #ExecutivePresence that I facilitated earlier this week.. The participants posed several insightful and thought-provoking #questions. The one that resonated most with me was: 👉"Can one possess #humility and still exude executive presence?"🤔 My response was: "Certainly. Executive presence does not necessitate overt confidence and excessive self-assurance. Nor does it mean being loud or dominating conversations. In fact, such behavior is antithetical to executive presence. If one monopolizes conversations, they are effectively not listening. Strategic silence and reserve holds significant value. Individuals who embody humility, grace, and dignity, and also contribute profound insights and expertise tend to exude greater depth and #gravitas than those who are overly vocal or seek constant attention.

As this year's RISE Women's Conference comes to a close, I find myself repeating the same refrain to the hundredth person who mentioned it: "I am familiar with the event". 😎😊 I've had the pleasure of participating at R.I.S.E in the past. So, let me throw it back to 2019, a year before the world turned upside down.. I was invited to moderate the panel on "Business Leadership" featuring some extraordinary #womenleaders who are making waves in the corporate sector in New England. It is an outstanding #conference. I remain grateful to the founder and organizers for including my voice in that space.. I congratulate them on their # leadership in creating a forum for women to communion, empower and inspire each other. #leadershipdevelopment #leaders

An absolute delight to be seated next to Ana Amaral of Navigant Credit Union at a recent Women's Fund of Rhode Island event. I was particularly pleased to learn that she is currently enrolled in a #leadershipdevelopment workshop at her workplace. We had a lot to discuss, including personal branding and executive presence, two of my favorite topics. Refreshing to see workplaces investing in the professional growth of their employees.

This woman is a BIG DEAL, a truly remarkable individual. Her name is Angela Ankoma. Remember her name. She is a humble woman who rarely trumpets her accomplishments. Shame as contrary to common belief, our work does not always speak for us. Angie is a true #communityleader who is dedicated to promoting #equity and #leadershipdevelopment for leaders of color in Rhode Island. I had the privilege of witnessing her exceptional work firsthand during my tenure as a leadership coach for the Rhode Island Foundation Equity Leadership Initiative, which she founded and currently leads. She is truly deserving of recognition. So, I decided to attend the Women's Fund of Rhode Island event a few nights ago to witness her being honored with the Simone Joyeaux Leadership Award. Congratulations, Angie!🥳👏 I am immensely proud of you and eager to see the incredible ideas you will continue to bring to life. #Leadershipdevelopment #leaders #personalbranding #womenofcolor #blackwomen #blackexcellence

I am very impressed with my friend Alice. We have been running a sort of private library together this summer. Each month, she visits my house to borrow a book. I make a note of when she checks out a book from my shelf and the return date. The only condition is that she must provide a book report so that I can also be reminded of what the book teaches. She started with financial books. So far, she has read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" and has definitely improved her financial literacy. She gave me a full lesson on the author's advice on wealth creation. The next book she borrowed was "Get Good with Money" and she was full of knowledge to share. Yesterday, I asked her if she wanted to stick to financial books, and I was ready to lend her "How to Stop Living Paycheck to Paycheck" or Dave Ramsey's "The Total Money Makeover". However, she requested "something motivational," so I reluctantly loaned her one of my favorite books. She is now onto her third book, "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelo. I am eagerly looking forward to hearing her report. She has thoroughly perused each page of these books. While I have already read all of these books, it is beneficial to be reminded of their contents. I eagerly anticipate her insights and key takeaways. My personal takeaway from this experience is the importance of reducing screen time, setting aside distractions, and prioritizing reading as a means of personal development. #bookshelf #readers #personaldevelopment #personalgrowth #personalbranding

I recently saw a post on social media of a young man lamenting his experience on the #jobhunt. The lack of responses from potential #employers and the rejections hurt the most he reports. But what struck me was what he said he learned. His biggest lesson was that: “#Skills matter more than degrees. I thought my degree would open doors, but companies care more about what I can actually do”. AS THEY SHOULD! I wish I could erect his quote on a billboard for everyone to see. Wake up folks. Your qualifications and credentials is not a sufficient signal of what you can deliver. A college #degree - in reality - does not communicate much. It is vital to clarify, define and assess what skills you actually have cultivated in that period of study. Be able to demonstrate what you can actually do, and the results you have achieved/can achieve by deploying such #skills. Poor lad also says he learned that: “The market changes fast. Skills that were hot last year might not matter now. It is hard to keep up”. NO IT’S NOT HARD. simply, let your paradigm be ‘#continuouslearning’ especially in the arenas where you wish to make an impact. Decide to cultivate new skills and remain curious about your field, and opportunities will be chasing you down. It will be a skills-based economy by 2027. Quit advertising your degrees as we don’t know what you are trying to convey. Instead, define, assess and then convey your skills - what you can do - the unique value you can deliver. #careeradvice #jobseekers #skillsdevelopment #jobskills #interviewskills #jobhunt #jobseekers #resumehelp

Feeling stuck in your #career? That was me not too long ago. But I had to overcome the lies I was telling myself in order to break free of the #careerstagnation that many mid-career professionals fall into. We tend to fall into the “technician trap” where you are focusing on the technical aspects of your job, and defining yourself solely on your job role and overlook the bigger picture of WHO YOU ARE. It is time to shift your perspective, believe in yourself, clarify your #personalbrand and watch new opportunities unfold. It happened for me, it will happen for you too! Remember, you are not your credentials; you are a dynamic individual with a powerful story and a unique value that you can deliver. #careergrowth #personalbranding #leadershipcoach #careeradvice #careertips #executivecoach

As #leaders, effective #communication is about more than just speaking well and delivering information. It's about building #trust and fostering genuine connections with your team.

Do not be deceived by these photos! I am not very outdoorsy. Indeed, if anything, I am highly "in-doorsy" 😀 I am simply demonstrating my ability to work well with others 😎 #birthdayweekend

Thanks for the birthday love everybody. 🎉 You could've scrolled by, and go along your virtual way. 🏃 I appreciate you pausing to recognize my life and celebrate the achievement of another opportunity to live out my purpose. 🎁 Cheers 🍻 HUME #birthdaylove

Today, as I celebrate another year around the sun (#happybirthday to me ), I’ve been reflecting on my younger self and how far I have come. From the baby born with tumor on my upper lip and a shortened lingua frenulum (web of tissue which connects the tongue to floor of mouth) which required surgery and weeks of #speechtherapy to be able to speak to a strong woman with a powerful voice and leader who owns my value. First, I am forever grateful to my mother for her courage and determination to seek out a solution and prioritize my ability to speak fixed because in that single act, she changed the trajectory of my life. Today, I wish to recognize and say #happybirthday to my younger self! Here is I would say to that young girl who carried around so much shame and doubt: I know there are times when self-doubt creeps in, and your voice feels small. But remember, you possess an incredible strength and a unique perspective that the world needs. Embrace your voice, own your story, and don’t be afraid to let your light shine. Finding your purpose will be a journey, but it’s one worth taking. When you lead with your value, you’ll not only discover your own path but also inspire others to find theirs. Remember to prioritize your #wellness and well-being. Take care of yourself so you can serve others. Finally, Hume, be open to opportunities. Don’t be afraid to step outside of your #comfortzone and embrace the amazing opportunities that will surely come your way.   Remember, you are strong, capable, and worthy. With love, Your older self #birthdaygirl #notetoself

Help us celebrate Chapter 76 🎊🥳 With so many young people passing way before their time, we'd be so lucky to get to this age.

What an incredible honor to be invited to serve as an external #examiner for a Ph.D. thesis. Undoubtedly, this is a wonderful opportunity to contribute to the doctoral journey of a budding #scholar and to engage with the esteemed scholars at Universities elsewhere. Candidly, my plate is full with my own book project, ongoing sabbatical research in the Caribbean, and personal commitments, but it’s hard to pass on such an incredible offer. Of course, this invitation took me back to my own Ph.D. thesis which I undertook at the University of Waikato, New Zealand; the final few months ahead of submission was the most grueling. Then came and the dreaded #doctoraldefense. I appreciated the great contributions made by the panel of professors who supervised my thesis, and the positive reviews by the external reviewers. To complete a #doctoral thesis is quite a feat; then to defend your #dissertation in an oral exam takes courage and gumption. My #congratulations to the candidate on a successful completion of their thesis and upcoming defense. #scholarship #highereducation #leadershipdevelopment

It’s simply not enough to just do your #job well. To truly thrive, you need to lead with the unique value you bring to the table. Building a strong #personalbrand is key. It’s about clarifying and then showcasing your skills, strengths, interests, and expertise in a way that sets you apart. This is the personal currency that creates the opportunities you seek. Qualifications and credentials are simply not sufficient. Your #personalbrand is the MASTERKEY you need to unlock success.

Beyond my college students, I seldom encounter interest in a #career in news journalism from professionals at mid-career in my coaching practice. Therefore, it was refreshing and enjoyable to allow Alice to practice asking me questions! I had to emphasize that #truth and #factual reporting are the cornerstones of genuine journalism, even as we witness the erosion of this fundamental function in American journalism. #journalism

I decided to show up today to vote in the Rhode Island Primary elections. 🇺🇸🗳️ I am a strong advocate of #earlyvoting. In the 20 days leading up to #ElectionDay, you can vote in person at your city or town hall or at a designated location during regular business hours. Early voting ends September 9. This is a great option if you are unable to vote at your usual #pollingplace on Election Day, or if you have run out of time to request a mail-in ballot. 💌 #VoteEarly #Democracy #RhodeIsland #PrimaryElections

What your #personalbrand should really convey. I’ve broken it down into what I see as the 6 Cs 🩷Character: the kind of person you are 🩷Capability: what you can deliver. 🩷Credibility: signals that you can be trusted 🩷Communication: ability to convey your ideas effectively 🩷Community: your tribe, networks and relationships after all, we are social beings. Are you a team player? 🩷Collaboration : the ability to work alongside others in harmony to accomplish goals. #Personalbranding #personaldevelopment @leadershipcoach #leadershipdevelopment #brandcentered #brandcenteredcoaching

Dear #leaders, I understand that many of you use the metaphor of being the "captain of the ship" to describe your #leadershipstyle. Have you considered the full implications of this metaphor? While it is true that a captain plays a crucial role in overseeing, maneuvering, and safely guiding a ship to its destination, this alone does not make them an effective leader. Effective leadership requires more than just being in a position of authority. #leadershipcoach #leadership #leadershipdevelopment

The glow of satisfaction was when you know you didn't waste the day. You got stuff done. The truth is. #September freaks me out😎. #Summer ends, and you're forced to get serious again. I wanted to start September with a bang so I went back to my happy place for the last two days - the library. I know, it's boring, but it's the only place where I can focus and get the clarity I need to achieve my goals I moved mountains last few days. Put your head down and work for 3 hours without your phone and you'll see what you can accomplish. Last quarter of the year, people! Let's make it count. #workmode

DON'T YOU DARE knock on any door that is closed ❗️ Do not bang on it. Do not kick it down. Do not waste time fixated on that closed door. If you're curious, you can enquire why it's closed, but... 👉 LEAVE THAT CLOSED DOOR BE. Take this from me. This stems from personal experience 👉 Seek out OPEN DOORS. There are many big, beautiful, magnificent open doors waiting for your skilled self to walk into them. Sometimes, it blows my mind the new doors that fly open for me when one is shut. There is power in having a strong and respected #personalbrand. There is even more power in #redirection, one you embrace it. #personalbranding #careeradvice #personaldevelopment #redirect

Today, I had one of those important meetings where I was explaining my first experience with what I now recognize as "#executivepresence". Don't think it's just about being charismatic. It's a skill you can learn, not something you're born with. You can totally develop the confidence, gravitas, communication skills, and composure to own any room. #executivepresence #leadership #personaldevelopment

Normally, I would be appropriately stressed this time of the year.😎 I am so stoked to be on #sabbatical this fall. I cannot begin to express how much I needed this break. I eagerly anticipate disregarding back-to-school work emails, not feeling stressed about writing syllabi and planning assessments; not having to attend the full faculty conference tomorrow. And especially not having to teach undergraduate courses. I am so grateful for the chance to recharge, rejuvenate, and work on my own terms. #professorlife #worklifeharmony #wellbeing

As an #educator, especially at the college level, I know, first hand, that your personal brand can impact everything from student enrollment to research funding and job opportunities. Thankfully, Faculty are becoming more mindful of their #personalbrand that ever before. Had the pleasure of delivering a virtual workshop on ‘Personal Branding and Pedagogy’ with Faculty at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) in late Spring. I talked about the importance of establishing an #academicbrand and understanding who you are at core, your fundamental values and principles and how these inform your scholarship, teaching and service. For example, I follow a few academics on social media who have successfullyestablished themselves as #thoughtleaders in their field, therefeby increasing their influence, credibility and impact on tehir discipline. A well-defined personal brand can also open doors to new opportunities such as consulting and speaking engagements, leadership roles and facilitate connections and potential collaborations across the globe. Many #teachers love to hide away in the background. But in a context where education is under threat, it is even more vital for teachers to raise their voice and visibility, and stand out as leaders in their niche. #personalbranding #highereducation #teachers #Faculty #careerdevelopment

In the world of #communication, it's not about fancy words or long speeches. It's about getting your #message across clearly and concisely. When you're clear, there's less room for misunderstandings and more room for #connection. Connection with your audience is critical. 👇 So next time you're communicating, remember: 👉keep it simple, 👉keep it focused, and 👉keep it clear. #communication #clarity #connection #effectivecommunication #saywhatyoumean #getyourmessageacross

Don't let anyone fool you. #Commitment is far more critical to #success than hardwork. This is the glow of #accomplishment. Go on lock down, put in the work, focus, and stay committed. You can't lose. I promise. You get out what you put in. #PersonalBranding

Your #PersonalBrand is more than just a buzzword. It’s the essence of who you are and the ‘unique value’ you bring to the table. What do I mean by your ‘#uniquevalue’? I try to capture what it should embody and convey in the diagram below. Focus on your: skills, expertise, personality and values, and how you show up in the world as well as the impact you make and the problems you solve. 👉Don’t just post on #socialmedia – cultivate your personal brand intentionally: Understand your strengths and what sets you apart. When you leverage your personal brand strategically, you unlock opportunities and achieve your #careergoals. What steps are you taking to build your personal brand? 🔆 Dr. Hume Johnson #leadershipskills #careercoach #leadershipdevelopment #careertips #personalbranding

The image of #HillaryClinton and #KamalaHarris is a powerful symbol of the transfer of #leadership and the importance of strong #femaleleadership. It paves the way for collaboration on issues that matter, transformative change, fosters inclusive environments, and empowers the next generation of leaders. Building a respected personal brand is crucial for women in leadership. It amplifies your voice, establishes your expertise, and opens doors to new opportunities.

This is #careeradvice I share with every client regardless of what stage of their career they are at: ➡️#Selfawareness is key. Understanding your personal brand means you are clear about who you are and the unique strengths and value that you can deliver in your field. ➡️You have to set clear #goals and track your progress to ensure that you are on the right path. ➡️Passion is great but it is overrated. #Curiosity is even better - keep learning and stay abreast of key trends in your industry. ➡️Be #coachable and adaptable, as feedback is very crucial for growth and making career strides. Remember, a certain level of humility and a willingness to learn are essential for success. ➡️Finally, never underestimate the power of relationships. Nurture connections with successful people who can inspire and guide you. These folks are often the gatekeepers to the growth opportunities you seek, and they can open doors you never imagined. #careeradvice #growthmindset #success #leadershipcoach #careercoach #careertips #leadershipskills

I did promise to get a life after the #Olympics 😎 🇯🇲 #nightout

Never tire to see this. The moment of the entire Olympics for me is this. Jamaican shot putter, Ranjindra Campbell, after winning bronze at the Paris 24 Olympics.

#Jamaica Land We Love.... This book represents our assessment of Jamaica's image and identity after more than half a century of independence. (Available from Amazon.com and other major booksellers). Happy Independence Day, Jamaica 🇯🇲

#JAMAICA 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲, I will always choose you I feel immense pride witnessing the emergence of new talent on Jamaica's athletic scene. My recent trip to Canada reminded me of the incredible journey we've taken since our first Olympic Games in 1948 (London). Here, at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal, I'm pointing to Jamaica's plaque commemorating #DonaldQuarrie's victory in the men's 200m at the 1976 Games. Our athletes stand on the backs of the legends who laid the foundation. We may experience highs and lows, but Jamaica's spirit is too forbidsble to ever be counted out. One Love to everyone! #HappyIndependenceDayJamaica 🖤💚💛 #parisolympics2024 #TeamJamaica

#JohnMaxwell's book, "Everybody Communicates, Few Connect," is a compelling read. He emphasizes the crucial role of genuinely connecting with your audience in effective #leadership. It resonates deeply with my approach to #communicationcoaching, especially in today's chaotic communication landscape. #Leaders need to be skilled communicators across various platforms and formats, but more importantly, they must be engaging and relatable. To achieve this, leaders need to leverage their human skills, core values, that is their #personalbrand to establish genuine connections with their audience. My #coaching empowers leaders to harness these qualities and effectively convey their message in a way that truly resonates. #leadership #communication #leadershipdevelopment #books #leadershipcoach #leadershipskills #communicationtraining #communicationskills #personalbranding

Simple question. How would you answer it? #personalbranding #ownyourvalue

If you don't like #walking, Montreal is not for you. Here, the #pedestrian is King. As part of a plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, a part of Old Montreal has been made pedestrian-only. I understand it. The streets are pretty narrow snd traffic is tight. Not to mention the parking spots and garages. Better be a good driver! I haven't minded the pedestrian friendly atmosphere. So far, Ive clocked and exceeded my 10,000 step limit everyday. The pedestrian focus streets also creates a wonderful sense of community for residents and tourists. With #culture and entertainment at the center of this amazing city, being pedestrian-only is also a great boost to the local economy. #walk #walking #walkablecity #wellbeingcity #montrealwalks#culturaltourism

Our visit to the Montreal Olympic Stadium was an unforgettable experience. Although it's closed for renovations, this iconic structure, home to the 1976 Olympics, still stands as a testament to architectural innovation with its towering presence, the tallest incline tower on the world. We were captivated by the storyboards and plaques that lined the grounds, detailing Montreal's journey to host the Games. From the multiple bids submitted to the final awarding in 1970, it's a tale of perseverance and triumph. 🏆 As a #Jamaican, it was a real thrill seeing the plaque for "Jamaique" (Jamaica) and the legendary #DonaldQuarrie's name, forever etched in history for his gold medal win in the 100m. 🥇 We also spotted Hasely Crawford's name, Trinidad's first Olympic champion, whose legacy lives on in the Hasely Crawford Stadium in Port of Spain. 🇹🇹 And yes, even Bruce Jenner's (now Caitlyn Jenner) name was there, the decathlon champion for the USA in '76. 🇺🇸 Kudos to my partner for predicting we'd find Jenner's name on the same plaque as Quarrie! 🤯 This visit was more than just sightseeing; it was a walk through sporting history, a reminder of the incredible athletes who graced these grounds, and a testament to the unifying power of the Olympics. 🌍 #MontrealOlympicStadium #1976Olympics #SportingHistory #JamaicanPride #CaribbeanExcellence #OlympicChampions #architecturalmarvel

'If you spend your whole life waiting for the storm, you'll never enjoy the sunshine' - Morris West Happy Sunday! 🌞

My #personalbrand is built on two pillars - delivering value and fostering genuine connections. I believe that trust is earned through consistent action - by always delivering on what I say I'll do. Who I am as a person and the #corevalues I uphold is therefore reflected in my work. I believe in #personalgrowth, open communication, mutual respect, integrity, hardwork and always striving to exceed expectations. In a world of fleeting virtual connections, I choose to invest in meaningful relationships that go beyond surface level. I take the time to understand the people I work with, valuing their perspectives and experiences. I believe when we approach each other with that kind of #authenticity and respect, we create the foundation of lasting partnerships. #personalbranding #authenticleadership #relationships #values #brandbuilding #careeradvice

About to order my first-ever #taco on what was apparently #tacotuesday at this joint earlier this week. Server is in shock that I've never eaten a taco. Her mouth fell open. She screamed "you never had a taco??!" No maam. Never.👇 Poor woman felt obliged to correct this offense to the Taco Gods. 🤣 What is so exciting about a Taco?! 😁 It simply never interested me. Never understood it. Just never looked appealing. 🙈🤣 I did try my first taco. It was okay. I enjoyed the shell more than whatever the stuffing was. #adventures

A big shoutout to Andrea Williams (@ask_drea), Director of Operations at GoHealth, Urgent Care, CT for stepping into the spotlight with this interview with Channel 8, CT! 📺 Andrea is one of the executives I've had the privilege of coaching recently on #executivepresence. It's always inspiring to see #leaders take proactive steps to elevate their #communicationskills and #personalbrand. Effective communication isn't just about what you say, it's about how you say it. In short, who you are and how you connect with your audience Andrea's dedication to honing her delivery – ensuring her key messages resonate authentically and confidently – is a testament to her commitment to making a real impact. #Mediainterviews are a powerful platform to amplify your voice and share your organization's vision. By investing in #mediatraining, leaders like Andrea are not only preparing for the interview itself, but also building a lasting foundation for effective communication in all aspects of their roles. Congratulations, Andrea, on this exciting opportunity to raise your voice and visibility! Be proud of yourself sweetie. I sure am! 🥳🥳🥳 #personalbranding #executivecoach #leadershipcoach #leadershipskills #leadershipdevelopment #communicationtraining #ownyourvalue #careercoach

I cannot say enough about the exquisite writing and affect of #Jamaican writer, #safiyasinclair in her memoir, 'How to Say Babylon'. Man Booker Prize winner, and fellow Jamaican author #marlonjames puts it best when he says: "To read it is to believe that words can save, words can heal, and words can imbue us with near divine power". Congratulations Safiya. #summerreads #summerreading #books #blackwriters #Jamaicans #memoir

Excited and inspired after connecting yesterday with Dr. Ellie Paris-Miranda, MA, MBA, Ph.D , Professor of #entrepreneurship at Wheaton College and a social impact leader. Ellie and I first met at the Eastern Academy of Management Conference (EAM) in Providence recently. Yesterday's delightful encounter started with the most amazing pastry that Ellie brought over that I could not resist! 🙈😁 Our conversation was incredibly insightful and sparked ideas for potential collaboration and business partnerships. 🙌😎 Building a strong professional #network is invaluable, and events like EAM provide incredible opportunities to forge meaningful connections. Grateful to connect Ellie. Looking forward to exploring the possibilities that have emerged from this encounter! #EAM #Entrepreneurship #networking #collaboration #leadership #equity #careerdevelopment #blackbusiness #femaleentrepreneurs

NOTICE: Is this YOU? You're on the #jobmarket, meaning you're actively seeking new employment opportunities? Well, listen up: Your #resume is your first impression, not the #jobinterview. It's the debut and representative of your #personalbrand. I often decline to help people review their resumes. Why? I need a blank slate. The brand building has to come first; not tweaking the resume. In other words, we have to start by defining your "unique value" – the "special sauce" you bring to the table. This phase is about uncovering your: 👉human skills (*need these to work alongside others harmoniously) 👉 core values (*do yours line up with the organization you wish to work for). 👉job-specific capabilities (*can you actually do the job? 👉areas of focus aligned with the job description. (*can't be all things to all people). 👉 pain points your expertise solve (*can you move the needle for this employer?) Most people's resumes simply recount PAST accomplishments. But the most effective resumes paint a vivid picture of the unique value you'll deliver for employer in the FUTURE. While you actually haven't done the job get or received a job offer, imagine yourself in the role. Then use your resume to brand and market yourself as the ideal candidate, showcasing the unique value you'll bring to the organization. I hope this helps! #jobseekers #jobexperience #jobmarket #personalbranding #branding #jobhunt #employment #leadershipdevelopment #resumebuilding #careeradvice #careercoach

What do you understand by the concept #ExecutivePresence? Been engaged #virtualcoaching with #executive leaders and #middlemanagers on this concept. It requires some rethinking as some folks believe it's only preserved for those aspiring to #executiveleadership. I believe all us - early and mid-career professionals - could use a good dose of training on various elements of executive presence. Here is what executive presence is realky about? #leadershipcoach #leadershipdevelopment #talentdevelopment #executivecoach #personalbranding #careeradvice #careersuccess

That’s it. That’s the post. If you want to truly succeed in your #career, another qualification wont get you there. Neither will waiting to be tapped for that promotion. FOCUS ON #addingvalue. It’s not just about doing your job—it’s about whether you can make a real difference. Whether it’s coming up with innovative solutions, take the initiative, exceeding expectations, bringing in new ideas or simply being a reliable and supportive team member, adding value is what sets you apart. And one more thing……. 👉 You can’t be scared to share your ideas. I know some of us have our voices drowned out at work. By consistently adding value, you’ll not only achieve success but also build a reputation as a valuable asset to any team. 🔆 Dr. Hume Johnson #careeradvice #professionaldevelopment #successmindset #leadershipcoach #ownyourvalue #careeradvice #careercoach

LET'S RECAP our conversation series on #careerblindfolds. Being #blindfolded in your #career means relying on outdated approaches, methods and strategies to move the needle in your career. It also means looking at your existing industry through outmoded prisms although those same industries are (being compelled) to change. The only constant is YOU. So who are YOU, and what value do you bring to the table? #personalbranding #careeradvice #careercoach #leadershipdevelopment #leadershipcoach #executivecoach

I’m excited for seminar two of our virtual workshop series on Friday, May24 on #Executive Presence for directors and middle managers. Having strong executive presence and the ability to communicate with impact is crucial for middle managers and directors aspiring to reach the next level in their careers. What is executive presence? It’s the unique blend of confidence, gravitas, and communication skills that commands attention, builds trust, and influences decisions. Why does it matter? #Leaders with a strong executive presence are often perceived as more competent, influential, and tend to access promotions and other growth opportunities. They can articulate their vision clearly, inspire their teams, and drive results. #leadershipcoach #leadershjipdevelopment #careercoach #workforcedevelopment #executivecoach #communicationskills #personalbranding #humejohnson #ownyourvalue

QUIT leading with your "#jobexperience" as if it's the ultimate badge of honor. Let's be real folks. The number of years you've been at your doesn't automatically translate to #expertise and success. What truly defines your #personalbrand is the value you bring to the table. It's about the problems you've solved, the skills you've mastered and the impact you've made. These are the selling points that will truly set you apart and attract the right opportunities. #careeradvice #careermanagement #leadershipcoach #careercoach

If your #personalbranding project is not about defining and conveying your value, you're off track. It is vital to see personal branding not so much a marketing tool but as a serious #careermanagement strategy. This shift in perspective is key. #careeradvice

Well, that's a wrap on the Spring semester everybody! Hip hip.... horaay 🥳 Let summer begin. #professorlife

Every year, I look for compelling stories about interesting people or issues that move me to read. Last summer, I couldn't get enough of Chilean writer, Isabel Allende. Among my personal favorite in terms of pleasure reading are #memoirs. I love to read about stories of becoming, triumph over adversity etc. I've been gathering a few, some based on interviews I kisten to on @npr with Terry Gross.Others are suggestions. My 2024 (planned) reads are: *I don't always succeed* 👉 Knife by Salman Rushie written after the recent knife attack on this famous author at an upstate NY book event about the safety of writers. Ironic huh? Heard his interview on NPR and immediately ordered the.book. 👉 "Thicker Than Water" is the memoir of actor Kerry Washington. It traces her geanology I believe. She discovered late that her Dad is not her biological father. Her Mom is Jamaican so I was intrigued as a Jamaican myself. Listened to her tell a bit if her story on NPR and I was so moved by her vulnerability and personal power. 👉 Walk Through Fire by Sheila Johnson is a surprise choice. She and her hubby founded BET, Black Entertainment Television. Didn't know and didn't know her but I was pullednin by her story of domestic violence she endured even as wealthy and influential as she became. As a student of TV journalism, I wanted to learn more (currently reading about Sheila). 👉 "How to Say Babylon" by Safiyah Sinclair is from a successful Jamaican author who tells the story of growing up in a Rastfarian household and culture and her decision to separate from that ideology and what that meant for her. It was listed among top 10 books by NPR in 2023. 👉 "Master of my Fate"by Jamaican Sienna Brown tells the story of a Jamaican who now lives in Australia. It's a story of displacement, and struggle to find roots in foruegn spaces and traces our historical displacement as s race. My mentor, PJ Patterson, former Prime Minister of Jamaica suggested this book and because I too moved away to New Zealand and Australia, I resonat with stories of displacement What are you reading or planning to read? #summerreading #books #readmorebooks

#Commencement 2024 at Roger Williams University, Rhode Island. With comrades in the Department of Media, Design + Communication (M+D+C) Kamille Gentles-Peart, Ph.D. and Paola Prado. Supercool to see our student graduates take this giant leap into the future. Best wishes and congratulations to them in their future #careers. #collegegraduation #careerreadiness #highereducation

This #flavorsampling seminar at Johnson and Wales University, Providence today was entirely intriguing. Apparently among the most popular classes at JWU. We were given various samples of drinks including tea, non-alcoholic wine and expresso martini. Our task was to note appearance, aroma, taste and flavor. It's not as easy, believe me 😎 ! Lovely experiential activity as part of Eastern Academy of Management Conference 2024. The instructor was #MichaelSabitoni, Chair of Food and beverage management and International travel and tourism studies at JWU. #culinarystudies #foodstudies #foodandwine #dining #teachingandlearning

Special shoutout to Professor of #Leadership at Towson University, Mariana Lebron, Ph.D. She immediately resonated with my Brand YOU #personalbranding book as I was giving a complimentary copy to my #Jamaican colleague Professor, DrJulaine Rigg. According to Lebron, it's the thing she needed as she'd been struggling over the years to find and use her voice as well as become more visible in her niche. Dr. Lebron purchased two right there on the spot.🙈😎. Thanks so much Mariana. Looking forward to our podcast conversation. #entrepreneurship #personalbranding #leadership #personaldevelopement #books

New networks mean wonderful new opportunities for collaboration, learning and personal growth. Nice to connect with business faculty to extend the conversations around #Leadership and #Careerdevelopment. PFaculty I connected with at the Eastern Academy of Management Conference on this week in Providence: 👉Professor of Hospitality Studies at Morgan State University, Dr. Julaine Rigg. 👉Professor of Business and Leadership coach, Stockton University, Dr. Monica Amadio. 👉Professor of Business and Management, University of New Haven, Indra Ponnuswamy. Top mention goes to Professor of Leadership at Towson University, Mariana Lebron who immediately took an interest in and purchased two of my Brand YOU personal branding books.🙈😎 Thanks so much Mariana. #networking #leadershipcoach #personalgrowth #businessnetworking #community #collaboration

Catching up with Business Faculty from Morgan State University (Baltimore) last evening. Dr. Julaine Rigg (*pictured) and Dr. Erica Anthony, Chair of the Business Administration Department. They're in Providence, Rhodes Island, for the Eastern Academy of Management (EAM) Conference. It was great to add these brilliant #womenofcolor to my network. Over dinner and laughter, we exchanged notes on life in academia and how our career should evolve into the future. Importantly, they expressed keen interest and asked great questions and about my work in #personalbranding and its relevance to #leadershipdevelopment and #business. I explained that #personalbranding has been projected as a self marketing and promotion function whereas it is truly a self-discovery and self-actualization process to tie one's value to business imperatives.Personal branding is therefore a career management strategy. I look forward to attending the sessions on leadership at EAM 2024 this week. I thank Dr. Rigg for inviting me to meet her and colleagues and to join the conversation at EAM. #networking #leadership #businessnetworking #careercoach #businessdevelopment #leadershipcoach #Jamaicans

Your #qualifications and #certification are not a sufficient signal of what you can deliver to a potential employer or client. Quit leading the conversation with them. Acquiring higher education qualifications are fine but you cannot build your career and professional reputation on this alone. They are not as strong a selling point as we believe. I have a Ph.D. Pursued one ad I believed it was the key to unlocking my career. While it lends a good first impression, this alone didn't move the needle in my career. Indeed, they credentials are one of the biggest CAREER BLINDFOLDS leading to disappointing career outcomes. What do you think? #personalbranding #leadershipdevelopment #leadershipcoach #careeradvice #careercoach

Things I admire most about my #mother: 👉 Her unflinching #faith 👉 Her #workethic and ambition (went back to school at age 60, just because...) 👉 Her #courage through adversity (too many to name). 👉 Her #commitment to physical health,  fitness and wellness and her consistency (at the park exercising 3 days a week. Her fitness bent is also the thing I remember most about her growing up) 👉 Her unwavering support and presence in her children's lives. 👉 Her sense of joy and laughter. 👉 Her fight to free my tongue which allowed me to speak and have the career I have today (told this story earlier this year). Thank you Mama Bear With love ♥️ HUME #MothersDay

That's a wrap on Friday.... Praises be 🥳🥳😲 #photooftheday

Just completed session 1 of our "Executive Presence" workshop with corporate executives at a well known regional organization. Rather than the "executive" bit, I focused on clients defining their #communicationpresence. This is a composite of #communicationtraits that we tend to project for others to consume or that others attribute to us as we engage in face to face interactions in the real world or virtually in the digital world. In other words, your communication presence is your unique communication brand - who you are and how you show up as a #communicator. Then we work on first understanding different ways to persuade others and how to establish your credibility as a speaker. To be an effective communicator, we have to begin with defining your own #personalbrand and ethos. Your ethos is what gives you the authority to speak on your subject and to be trusted by your audience #leadershipcoach #leadershipdevelopment #communicationskills #teambuilding #personalbranding

#Personalbranding is about OWNING YOUR VALUE. Period. Want to build a powerful #personalbrand? 👉 First, define your #uniquevalue THEN….. 👉Build a brand around it. Here are my three tips to get started. 🟣 Dr. Hume Johnson #careercoaching #leadershipdevelopment #workforcedevelopment

It's so easy to fall into the trap of thinking your #personalbrand is all about your current employer, your prestigious alma mater, or the impressive title on your business card. But here's a crucial point many professionals overlook 👉 Your brand is YOU. You bring a distinct set of skills, experiences, values and perspectives to your niche that very few can replicate. That's the core of your personal brand. Yes, #employers provide platforms for you to shine, but they don't define you. So what haopens when the job, degree or role changes? If your brand is solely dependent on those external factors, you risk losing your visibility and unique value. TAKE OFF YOUR BLINDFOLD. Shift your focus to self-discovery. 👉What areas of your work responsibilities are you truly passionate about? 👉Where problems can your competencies solve? 👉How do you consistently deliver value within your industry? By answering these questions, you start building a personal brand that's resilient, adaptable, and attracts opportunities regardless of where you work or what your title is. #personalbranding #careerdevelopment #professionalidentity #ownyourvalue #leadershipcoach #leadershipdevelopment #personalbranding

This kid is relentless. She stayed the course, 🙌 My niece, Shanika (@queen_intp)graduated this past Sunday from the University of Connecticut (#UCONN) with a Bachelors degree in #Biology.. My nephew (right) is deep into his #Ecology and Environmental Biology studies. While I can't claim to be the source of their STEM fascination, I'm a huge believer in the power of #STEMeducation. STEM is the future. The emphasis on innovation and problem-solving will crucial for the careers of tomorrow. I'm so excited about the future and the role these two black youngsters will play in it. #graduation #collegegrad #congratulations #equity #blackexcellence #careeradvice

What #skills do you need to thrive in your career? Quit pursuing degrees without first knowing this. Then pursue a qualification that helps you to acquire, improve or validate those skills. Simple. That is a big part of what defining your personal brand is about.

Defining my #personalbrand has been a game-changer in my #career. Here’s a bit about my own #story and #personalbrand and why I am so passionate about helping SMART people.to OWN THEIR VALUE so that they can stand out as trusted experts and leaders in their industry and achieve the goals they’ve set for themselves. For details of my online course, entitled OWN YOUR VALUE™️: A Personal Branding Masterclass, see www.humeuniversity.com #personalbranding #executivecoach #Leadershiptraining #onlinecourse #keynotespeaker #careercoaching #executivecoaching

#Confidence and decisiveness have not gone out of style. Confidence is one of the most important traits contributing to success. Believe in yourself. #ownyourvalue #personalbranding #personaldevelopment.

No winter lasts forever. #Spring is blooming with possibilities. At least, we get to make it so. 😎 #springtime

“#Executivepresence” is an important concept, but it’s time to expand that idea. In today’s business environment, it’s now more important to become aware of your “#communicationpresence – who you are and how you show up as a communicator, especially the way you authentically connect and influence others. In my upcoming workshop, we’ll explore the building blocks of a powerful communication presence: #Personalbrand: Uncover your human skills and core values that make you a unique leader and form the basis of a strong professional reputation. Authentic Communication: Align your message with your own beliefs and values so that you can connect with others, build trust and credibility as well as rally support through effective delivery and engagement. Personal Aesthetic: We explore how your appearance, online presence and non-verbal cues can support your brand and leadership approach. #leadershipcoaching #leadershipskills #personalbranding #careercoaching #careerdevelopment #workforcetraining
