Think
like a free agent: Develop your 'personal brand'
By SHAUNA M. HEATHMAN and CHERYL SMITHEM
Special to CharlestonCurrents.com
OCT.
1, 2009 -- In an ideal world, hard work and dedication set individuals
apart from one another, prove them worthy of promotion or land the
candidate a job. Instead, reality has taught us that this may not
always be the case, especially in a competitive environment. These
days, everyone is looking for that extra boost to get ahead.
Heathman |
Smithem |
When
most of our parents hit the job market, they did so with the expectation
that they would find a position with a company and stay there for
their entire career. In the early 1990s, corporations began merging
and purging, and employees realized that they were expendable. Bounced
onto the job lines for the first time, many had only their personal
contacts to seek a job and had never thought of how to market themselves
as a job candidate.
In
the most recent economic downturn, people turned out of a job who
have marketed themselves as a brand, just as a corporation would
do, are finding it easier to secure the next position or to start
up their own professional endeavor. In the world of professional
sports, free agents have long sought to call attention to their
individual skills, not just the team they play for. By doing this,
the individual was the marketable commodity, not the team. Being
a free agent or brand enhances one's opportunities.
While
some may define a brand as a logo, tagline or packaging design for
a specific product or a business; the currently acceptable definition
of a brand is the sum of a person's experience with a product, corporation
or service. It is every experience a consumer has, from the interaction
with customer service to the colors of the logo and the function
of the products.

A
brand is the "resonance" that remains following interaction
with any aspect of the product, service or company. Therefore, a
brand is not a tangible item but a perception that can be shaped
by the qualities of interaction.
In
recent years, the broad understanding of a brand and the concept
of a free agent have merged into a new way of presenting oneself
to the employment market.
This
relatively new concept -- personal branding -- has hit the mainstream,
and people are using it to get ahead. Distinguishing yourself with
a personal brand can be a significant tool for any individual looking
to build credibility.
Creating
a personal brand is a way for individuals to market themselves in
such a way that it makes them unique yet easily identifiable by
others. Branding yourself for success is about bringing your best
attributes and work skills to the forefront. It provides a sense
of control in that you can decide how you want to be perceived before
others make that decision for you. It also offers an individual
an identity that might otherwise get lost in the crowd.
Developing
a personal brand allows individuals to create portable equity for
themselves. Those who use personal branding well distinguish themselves,
and interactions with them will further embed their brand in the
psyches of those with whom they interact.
Prospective
employees can learn how to utilize the same marketing tactics that
have long been part of the toolkit of corporations. To help business
people in the Charleston area learn these skills, the American Business
Women's Association (ABWA) is presenting a workshop, "Developing
a Personal Brand," on Oct. 12 (see the box with this article).
The deadline to reserve a spot is Oct. 3. Please join us!

behavior and communication. Cheryl Smithem of Strategic Marketing

Trip
to Napa Valley lifts the spirits (ahem!)
By
ANDY BRACK, publisher
CharlestonCurrents.com
NAPA,
Calif., Sept. 27, 2009 – If you don't know much about wine
when you visit Napa Valley, that's OK – there are plenty of
helpful people who will steer you in the right direction. In fact,
there don't seem to be many directions that are wrong.
A
weekend trip during harvest time in the California wine country
served to lift the spirits (no pun intended) for me and my guide,
an old college friend who is in the wine business. What we discovered
on an all-day tour were family-run wine businesses that focus on
making great, high-quality wine.
At Bell
Wine Cellars in Yountville,
winemaker Anthony Bell produces up to 15,000 cases of wine a year.
A South African with an advanced degree in winemaking in California,
Bell advocates making quality wines that take full advantage of a
vineyard's particular climate, soil and type of grape.
“Wine
is grown in the vineyard,” Bell explained in a brochure about
his winery. “We are merely stewards of nature while the wine
is in our cellar.”
The
result of his blend of science and art: rich Cabernets, silky Syrahs
and other wine that are delights to sample.
Later
after a stop at a brew pub for lunch (one winemaker told us it takes
a lot of beer drinking to make good wine), we visited with T'Anne
Butcher, who grew up in the wine
business and today runs Wine
Sensory Experience, a business in Calistoga that helps people
appreciate different qualities in wine.
In
her classes, students learn to appreciate how different shapes of
glasses influence the smell of a wine. Glasses that are round and
ball-shaped concentrate a wine's scent at the opening. Conversely,
a cylinder-type glass allows smells to escape easier, which means
it's harder to detect a wine's richness.
The globe-shaped
glasses best concentrated the aromas of the wine. |
“You're
doing yourself a disservice if you buy cheap glassware and think
it doesn't matter, because it does,” she said. A moderate-priced
red wine served in a proper red wine globe (a big glass) likely
will taste and smell much better than the same wine in a cheap glass.
Another
thing T'Anne taught us: there are four different edges to a wine
glass – tilted-in, tilted-out, straight-across and rounded.
The edge controls how the wine hits the palate – in the middle
part of the tongue or in the back or front. Who knew?
Jeff
Bailey at Zahtila
Vineyards outside Calistoga taught us another lesson. He gave
us a few blind-tasting challenges to allow us to learn what we liked,
based on the wine, not any information about it.
Perhaps
the most interesting tasting involved two versions of a Cabernet
Sauvignon. One bottle was $65 from grapes produced by a well-known
grower whose grapes have been the basis of award-winning wine for
20 years. Another bottle was $35 from grapes produced by another
grower on land just 400 yards from the first grower's parcel of
land.
Was
there a difference? Absolutely. We were stunned. (Bad news for me
because I liked the more expensive one better.)
Finally,
we stopped by Van
Der Heyden Vineyards near Napa where winemaker Michael Gregg
was kind enough to show us around his family's small operation that
makes about 3,000 cases of specialty wines per year.
As
he showed us cool fermentation tanks and acres of vines waiting
to be picked in the next week, he explained how his winery was the
only one in the world to produce a late harvest Cabernet. How? By
leaving the grapes on the wine a few days longer than most operations,
which causes flavors to become more concentrated. The result is
a rich Cabernet that is much sweeter than most.
The
bottom line from this trip: Good wine is that which tastes good
to you. In the Napa Valley, there is a whole lot from which to choose.
Talking with people about how they are making their wine is the
best way to learn and enjoy. We'll be coming back.

to have wine on sale in the area, but you can contact them via the

HISTORY
SPOTLIGHT
Praise
houses
"Praise
houses" (sometimes called "prayer houses") functioned
on antebellum South Carolina plantations as both the epitome of
slave culture and symbols of resistance to slaveholders' oppressive
version of Christianity. Generally simple, clapboard structures
built by the slaves themselves, praise houses were erected with
the knowledge, if not always the complete approval, of the master
class. Meetings in the praise house usually occurred on week nights
rather than on Sunday mornings. Pious masters preferred that their
slaves be in attendance at white-dominated churches where sermons
buttressed the slave system with carefully chosen scriptural texts.

The
simple architectural aesthetic of the praise house mirrored the
nonliturgical style of slave religion. Enslaved Christians favored
empty space over altars, kneelers, pulpits, and sometimes even chairs
and pews. The resulting sparseness provided the slaves more room
for "ring shouts" during often all-night sessions of prayer
and song. Frederick Law Olmsted recalled visiting one South Carolina
rice plantation where the master had attempted to provide the plantation
praise house with "seats having a back-rail," only to
be informed by the slaves that this would not "leave them room
enough to pray."
Weddings,
funerals, and other activities centered on the praise house. Following
emancipation, some of these structures continued to serve the freedmen,
providing them with a place for schools and public meetings.
The
very existence of praise houses in South Carolina indicates that
masters failed in their attempt to make the plantation a completely
closed system. Even under the degrading conditions of slavery, religious
life and practice strengthened and sustained the slave community.
The building of the praise houses reveals the struggle of the enslaved
to maintain their humanity in the midst of an inhuman system.
