Rebranding yourself may be necessary to introduce the new you as a founder or after a personal inflection point. Through adversity and perseverance, you may have gained new skills and perspective.

Letting others know your gains elevates both sides of the discussion since there are many benefits to rebranding.

By showing competency, people will engage you with new ideas and future projects will better match your interests. Combining the best from our past and our recent lessons, we gain confidence to face new challenges.

In college, I completely rebranded myself. I explored who I wanted to be and then acted accordingly (e.g. choosing courses based on amazing professors and not by my major). I learned and failed. By approaching the world differently, I could decide to keep any aspect or to revisit my old ways.

As your knowledge and goals evolve, rebranding can expedite personal satisfaction and lead to success. Here are some steps how to move forward.

1. Highlight your change – Determine exactly what you want to emphasize and then focus on that message.

2. Define your destination – Talk about how your growth plays into the future version of yourself.

3. Expand your network – Engage people who will appreciate and support your new direction.

4. Show by example – Operate in a new space (e.g. start a group or volunteer) and apply new skills to verify your talent.

5. Tell a story – Demonstrate competence while being entertaining is a great way to convey positive change.

6. Solve a problem – Show your acumen by sharing ideas and insights with others at work and on social media.

7. Reveal what matters – Explain your new value by being simple, clear, and direct to avoid appearing pretentious.
