Maybe, but when you understand where I’m going with this, I think you’ll realize the relevance.</p> <p>I led a training session for the Chamber of Commerce today that focused on streetsmart marketing strategies, guiding about 50 people through exercises to increase their awareness of their personal market standing. One of the questions was “Who are you?”</p> <p>I’m not sure that anyone was on the same page with me as I started, but they quickly picked it up. The answer lies in the minds of the people we market to — whether that marketing is external (customers and vendors) or internal (support staff and other coworkers).</p> <p>Everybody has an opinion of us in both a personal and work-related sense and, like it or not, that’s who we are so far as the market is concerned. We don’t have to agree with how people see us but, as the saying goes, perception is reality.</p> <h4 class="continue"><a href="http://careerjolt.net/how-to-find-out-who-you-are-part-1/">Continue Reading</a></h4> </div> </div>   <div class="archives post wrap"> <div class="block"> <a title="Permanent Link to Hail the New Texting Champion!" href="http://careerjolt.net/hail-the-new-texting-champion/"><img src="http://careerjolt.net/wp-content/themes/busybee/thumb.php?src=http://careerjolt.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/textingoptimized.jpg&h=88&w=88&zc=1&q=95" alt="Hail the New Texting Champion!" class="thumbnail alignleft" /></a> <h2><a href="http://careerjolt.net/hail-the-new-texting-champion/" rel="bookmark" title="Hail the New Texting Champion!">Hail the New Texting Champion!</a></h2> <p class="post-details">Posted on 17.
