打造個人品牌 , 也讓 神陶造生命 (第一部份)

打造個人品牌 (brand image)
  • 是在生命故事的「轉」和「合」階段進行 
  • 配合「你的業務是什麽 ?」(What is your business ?)思維 
  • 被僱者或自由人: 管理好與顧客和持份者的人關係、互動 
  • 打造的目標 : 在溝通、合作、 合約的過程中, 他們能清楚見到.... 

# 你的獨特哲學、人生觀、價值觀...「人生使命」與「公司使命」的連結
# 你的事業定位 (和業蹟) 
# 你的獨特熱忱、強項、風格 
# 你運用知識 、 資源 、 時間是由價值推動
# 你的品格 : 誠信 、 忠心 、 細心 、 忍耐 、等.... 是時常一致
# 你的外表從心而發 “….人是看外貌、耶和華是看內心 ” (撒 母 耳上 16:7). 
  • 「轉」: 從(從前的你)為商機、名聲、門面到(現在的你) 表現給 神看 
  • 打造個人品牌是要刻意的, 要有耐性 
  • 事業新開始、「更生」人士更要有耐性打造 
  • 測試 : 訪問幾個「 老友」: 我那些事是做得最好? 用什麽關鍵詞來描寫我? 
  • 測試 : 離開這裏 (公司、行業、地區等) 後, 客人會否尋找你? 

人心籌算自己的道路,惟耶和華指引他的腳步(箴十六9)

REST 與 rest 的關係

與 REST (起、承、轉、合)有關係的 rest

1) 為 R = Recollection of incidents in the past = 起

-追溯歷史, 回憶以往的發展及成績

-主要回憶what, when, where, who

-不要停留在「起」的階段

2) 為E = Enlightenment through reflection = 承

-反思從前成敗得失的過程、酸甜苦辣的感受, 因而明白神要我學習什麽, 可以更加了解自己的強項弱項

-主要回憶和思考 why, how

-"Make peace with your past, so that it won't screw up the present (and future)"

3) 為S = Shifting the paradigms = 轉

-悔改、心意更新而變化 (羅馬 12 : 1-2)

-範式轉換 (從神看): 對成功、事業、資產、回報、豐盛、健康、婚姻等的改觀 (#):

#人生遠象、夢想: 從不想有到想有; 從為己得益到榮神益人; 從拼搏尋金到積財在天….

#追求的東西: 從 make a living 的打工到 make a difference 的事業; 從數字到生命資產;....

#追求的策略、方法: 從拼搏揾錢、及時行樂到簡化生活、工作為祭; 從身不由己、聖俗二分到選擇、集中、紀律、與主同行; 從忙亂尋知識到終身學習; 從單打獨鬥到團隊網絡; .....

4) 為T = Tracking after action planning = 合

-思考前路、定位、定方向、行動、監控、駕駛

-靈修過程有想及(但未做): 策略、裝備、訂標竿、個人管理、導師/同行者/等的幫助; ....


"我來了,是要叫羊得生命,並且得的更豐盛"(約十:10)

"弟兄們、我不是以為自己已經得著了.我只有一件事、就是忘記背後努力面前的、 向著標竿直跑、要得 神在基督耶穌裡從上面召我來得的獎賞。"(腓 利 比 3:13-14)
