Clarify Your Unique Value Proposition (UVP) 



Your personal brand begins with your “why.” What makes you different, and how do you want people to perceive you?


Take some time to reflect on your unique value proposition (UVP) —the one thing that sets you apart in your field. 


Try this exercise: Imagine a client describing you in one sentence to someone else. What would you want them to say? This clarity will guide your messaging. 

Refresh Your Online

Profiles 



When was the last time you updated your LinkedIn profile or your Instagram bio? Your digital presence is often the first impression people have of you.


Make sure it’s working for you, not against you. Use high-quality visuals, update your headshot, and write a bio that speaks directly to the clients or opportunities you want to attract. 


Pro Tip: Consider a personal branding photoshoot to ensure your images reflect your professionalism and personality. 

Share Relatable, Valuable Content



Your audience doesn’t just want pretty pictures—they want substance.


Share content that addresses the challenges your clients face.


Whether it’s a behind-the-scenes look at your work, answers to FAQs, or stories of how you’ve helped others, focus on being authentic and relatable. 


Idea; Write about a challenge you’ve overcome as a **small business owner** and how it shaped your journey. 

Build Relationships Through Networking 


Your personal brand isn’t just about what you share—it’s about the relationships you build. Look for opportunities to connect with other entrepreneurs and decision-makers in Singapore.


Whether it’s through in-person events, virtual communities, or even commenting on LinkedIn posts, building authentic connections will amplify your brand. 


Action Step; Block 30 minutes each week to engage with new connections on LinkedIn or join a networking event

Show Up

on Video


Video is one of the fastest ways to build trust and connection.


If you’re hesitant because you’re not sure what to say, start small.

A 30-second clip introducing yourself or sharing a tip can make a big impact. 


Bonus Idea: Record a video answering a common question your clients ask—this positions you as approachable and knowledgeable. 

Highlight Your Successes


One of the best ways to build credibility is to share the results you’ve helped others achieve.


Testimonials, client stories, and case studies show your value without you having to say a word. 


Idea; Turn a client win into a story on Instagram or LinkedIn. Share what the client needed, what you did, and how it helped them. 

Invest in High-Quality Visuals 


Whether it’s on your website, Instagram, or a media kit, strong visuals are essential for a standout personal brand. High-quality photos, videos, and designs create an immediate sense of professionalism and trust. 


Pro Tip; A cohesive visual identity will save you time and make your brand instantly recognizable.
