How did Your Standout Brand get Started.
San Diego natives, Gail Johnson and Kelley Gerwig, met in 1996 while working for a Fortune 1000 company in Southern California. They both worked to help move the analog-based document management company into a leading digital competitor.
Your Standout Brand
WORKBOOK
Build and Grow a Success-Ready Career
In this workbook, we’ve simplified the process of building an individual brand for the professional to use when interviewing, networking and to defining yourself in a career setting. This workbook supports the student as you learn how to uncover, and communicate your brand using value as the foundation. Our creative approach is fun, engaging, and interactive so you gain ‘hands-on mock experience’ designed to acquaint you with the essential elements of developing and using your own individual Professional Brand.
Professional Branding is a career basic for anyone, at any age, in any workplace. Branding is the promise of value and allows you to distinguish yourself from the crowded field of candidates. The correctly defined Professional Brand makes certain you know, understand and communicate exactly who you are and your value to an organization by emphasizing what makes you uniquely qualified and professionally memorable. Fortified by this knowledge and its resulting distinct competitive advantages, you will be equipped to achieve your professional goals.

!WONTUOTEG helps you answer the question “WHO's AFFECTING YOUR CAREER?” by telling a story interspersed with thoughtful questions.
In the story, we see Jennifer struggling to navigate career detours. With the help of a couple of unique mentors, she starts paying attention and re-evaluating her surroundings: co-workers, boss, organization, industry and herself. She begins to pay attention to the “road signs" right in front of her that will help her successfully manage upcoming change.
Jennifer’s story tees up thought-provoking questions throughout the story that can help you to honestly assess yourself, your boss, your organization, and your industry. Discover how to know if where you are now is the best place for your career. As Jennifer learns, ‘Successful careers do not just happen; successful people are not just “lucky”. Success is something that is planned.’ Whether you are fresh out of college or mid-way through your career, you need to make deliberate career adjustments and handle unexpected career course corrections. It’s called change and change is inevitable, in fact, change is the only constant certainty!

WE WERE SO IMPRESSED...
We invited Your Standout Brand to speak at our Women’s Leadership Forum Spring Conference. We were so impressed with the topic that we made “A New Brand You” the theme for the entire two day event! The ladies loved Your Standout Brand presentation, and through Your Standout Brand workshop, they each realized their own unique value and how they bring success to our organization. More importantly, they learned how to communicate that value to others, which is essential for career growth.
