PIP 020: Why you need to work on your Self Esteem in building a strong personal brand.
In this episode we are talking about Why you need to work on your self esteem in building a strong personal brand. It is important to note that having high self-esteem is not about being arrogant or bragging about what you have and your achievements. But it is taking stock of what kind of person you are in life. Self-esteem also does not shield you from low self-confidence, uneasiness and fear. It simply makes it easier to stand and handle problems. High self-esteem gives you a sense of control over life. It helps you to know that your body, your mind, feelings do not belong to others and that you do not live up to other peoples wishes or expectations. Self-esteem therefore allows you to set reasonable expectations for yourself and to pursue your goals. People with high self-esteem are usually found to be happy and confident. They may be pleased with their abilities, skills and achievements. They are also cordial, friendly and show respect for other people’s views. Such people are also...

In this episode I would like us to talk about The Relevance of the self- concept to building a Unique Personal Brand. Lets start with a quote by Mark Kingsbury of Research International “Consumers know how to ‘connect’ with a brand that has character, they know what it stands for and they also know what it’s not trying to be.” I strongly believe you must know your self to grow your self. Knowing one’s self is an essential starter for building a strong and unique personal branding. The success and failure of most people have been closely linked to how they become aware of their capabilities and potentials...

PIP 017: Why You Must Stop living a comfortable life and live a passionate life.
Hello and welcome to the Personal Innovation Podcast with me Eric Seyram. This podcast is Brought to you by personalinnovationhub.com, the platform that ignites your Dreams, Passions, Careers and Impact. This Podcast is committed to getting you to think bigger about who you are, what you do and how you can impact the world in a unique way. In this episode I want us to think about some few questions. Do you want a Comfortable or a Passionate life? What is a fulfilling life to you? What does success mean to you? The industrial economy got us all thinking about jobs that uses our physical energy to create things and move goods from production to consumers. Work for life means doing same work; perhaps at that same organisation till retirement. For the average worker, high performance is judged by how many goods are produced or moved from one place to the other. We get paid based on this measure and the more productive you can get the higher you earn. The more time and effort you dedicate t...
PIP 016: How to talk about your Self and Career to attract new clients.
In this Episode, I would like us to get into how to introduce your self to people so they become interested in working with you. By now you know that “ people do not buy what you sell they buy why you sell it”. Most of us make the mistake by calling our selves or describing our selves in a very generic way, without stating our unique value, how different we are from every one else and what specifically we help people to achieve. When you meet people at that conference, that networking event or that industry meet up, and all other places that presents an opportunity to initiate new relationships with people who might become your paying clients or introduce you to others who need your services, It will require you to introduce your self. How do you talk about what you do? Remember at this point it is always important to introduce your self in a way that sparks a conversation that can lead to a genuine interest in you and what you do, so you can offer something of benefit to this pe...

PIP 014: Approaching life with an open and creative mindset.
This episode is all about: Approaching life with an open and creative mindset. This world is complex and living in it requires a high level of readiness to deal with these complexities and the daily challenges that we might face. Credits to William Shakespeare; This world is said to be a stage and all men are players or performers. We all have our exits and our entrance onto this stage. As is the case, our performance, our creativity and showmanship is what determines how the world will react towards us; either with cheers or boos. As if thats not challenging enough, we have a very short time frame to prove our worth. to create a raving fan base, create a movement and a follower-ship and make the impact that the world needs from us. Our approach to life: how enthused, emotionally engrossed and spirited we are into our performance on this stage,- is what will determine wether the dent as we leave it, will be short-lived or sustained till eternity. William Shak...
PIP 013: Why your smallest dream matters to the world.
In this episode I want to tell you: Why your smallest dream matters to the world. I believe in dreams no matter how small. This believe comes from the innovative concept of the “economy of Unscale” . I believe today, Small is the new Big and no matter how small your dream, the world can create a path for your success, so you can shine to the world and live your life as a love story. Yes I know you always hear about, “economy of scale” and how good it is to be big and be able to swallow up the small guys, rule the world, Dictate the pace of the game, taking all there is to be taken. The concept of Economy of scale propels companies to strive to expand, develop and penetrate into new markets and geographical territories. It is what gives them competitive advantage over the small scale organisations who also continues to complain about how lean, resource constrained and cash trapped they are. Start up entrepreneurs would often say “ if only we had the size and strength of tha...
PIP 012: Why you need to start creating your own luck today.
Hello and welcome to the Personal Innovation Podcast with me Eric Seyram. This podcast is Brought to you by personalinnovationhub.com , the platform that ignites your Dreams, Passions, Careers and Impact. Personal Innovation Hub is committed to getting you to think bigger about who you are, what you do and how you can impact the world in a unique way. In this episode I want to tell you: Why you need to start creating your own luck today. Do you think some people are just born lucky? Or do you believe you make your own luck in life? Do you consider yourself to be lucky? Or not? There is a misconception that people who are successful are just ‘lucky’ – as if luck happens by chance; that successful people are at the right place at the right time, meeting the right people, making the right connections, clinching the right jobs and contracts through luck. I hear people say I didn't get that job, I couldn't get married last year, I don't get to make good friends because I am ju...
PIP 011: Why you must become a leader.
In this episode I want to tell you: Why you must become a leader. Are you scared of leadership? Do you tell your self ; “I am not cut out for leadership?” In the world of work, we have two types of people. There are those who are leaders and there are those who are followers. This has been the tradition, our way of life, our orientation, our psychological make up and the structure of the world. There has always been an emperor, a king, a governor, a president, a father; whose commands are final, who virtually thinks for us and decides for us. Leadership was a preserve for a certain group and calibre of people, Traditionally, there is a Royal family, whose descendants take up the leadership mantle. This is surely a good thing. It ensures law and order, it is our heritage, it is our culture. It is beautiful. Well, today as the world is changing, leadership is been redefined, diffused and liberalised. and no matter who you are, what you do and where you are from; You can lead and be follo...
PIP 10: What do you have to offer the world?
In this episode I want to ask you “ what do you have to offer the world?’ I believe the world and most of the things in it are mostly in is two folds, theres is darkness and there is light. Theres is good and there is evil. Theres is success and there is failure. One cannot be one and the other at the same time, but you can change from one to the other. Our goal is to be and be seen at the right side of the world. Where do you belong? Where are you going? I hope it is to that side where the world wants for us and from us. I guess you are asking your self, “ where does the world want from us and for us?’ This is the answer: It is for you to be the light that shines to the world, not that which darkens the world. Think about it in natural and practical terms: where is more conducive to stay, a brightened room or a dark room? How do you feel when all of a sudden a very illuminated room where you are, goes all dark and how do you feel when its lightened up again. Will you still keep a lig...

You may be wondering why I have founded the Personal Innovation Hub, why I manage the personalinnovationhub.com, why this podcast is called the Personal Innovation Podcast?

PIP 007: How to take advantage of the scarce Opportunities Available and Succeed in the midst of the Stiff Competition.
If you are a believer in dreams and an optimist like me, you will still have hope for the future, you will still believe in the fact that there are many opportunities out there, more than ever. Even though things might not be going the way you intended. Believe that, there are greater things ahead. We just have to think differently about who we are and what is within us that can act as the magnet to attract the very many disguised opportunities out there. Many of those who lose hope, complain about the economic challenges and the ever changing, turbulent nature of the business world. Jobs are not guaranteed, businesses are folding up, there is a global competition for every local business, Small businesses are struggling for there share of the market with their little mights against the global giants It is true, we are really facing very stiff competition in all spheres of life. Consumers, employers and any other person, who will be looking at engaging your services today is exposed to...
PIP 006: Why People will Hire your services or employ You and Why They Wont.
This is same as asking, what sells and what doesn't. If you have ever been rejected by a potential client or employer after putting in your all and even though you had the perfect qualifications, experience, capabilties and skills sets that met the job specifications , I know how bad that feels. You might have told your self “oh he hated me”, or “oh the recruitment process is not free and fair,” “perhaps you are thinking the HR and other existing staff are threatened with your experience and expertise” or “they had the vacancy filled with their friends and cronies”. May be you are one of the people who have come to the conclusion that, “the job market is now about whom you know, not what you know” Have you ever wondered why you did not get that gig even though every rational argument was in your favor? If you want to successfully sell any product, services, or get employed you need to know why people really buy what you are selling. the big why is always important and it is what ma...
