My brand

The 'get my next job plan' is about to get changed (probably tomorrow.)  I found out today that I had skipped a step or two, and had a few steps in the wrong order.  The big step that I skipped is "developing my personal brand."

What do you think of when you think of BMW, Coke, Mercedes, Nike, or Marlboro?  Whatever you come up with in 1-3 words is that company's brand (maybe an old brand, or maybe an unintended brand, but their brand none-the-less.)  Before I decide what I want to do next (oops) or write a resume, I need to have a brand.  That brand needs to shine through in all of my written and verbal communication, presenting a unifying theme that will let prospective employers get a quick sense that they understand what I'm all about.

Tom Peters said this about managing "brand You" in an article on Fast Company (the whole article is worth a read, but this bit is particularly important):

"No matter what you're doing today, there are four things you've got to measure yourself against. First, you've got to be a great teammate and a supportive colleague. Second, you've got to be an exceptional expert at something that has real value. Third, you've got to be a broad-gauged visionary -- a leader, a teacher, a farsighted "imagineer." Fourth, you've got to be a businessperson -- you've got to be obsessed with pragmatic outcomes."

I need to have 1 core message, summed up in 1 word or phrase.  That's the main brand.  That's the brand that I use in talking about myself or the job search.  I can have a few (2-3) supporting brands that only come up in writing--like in my resume or on this blog.  The supporting brands have to support the idea of the core brand.

I don't know what my core brand is.  I have a few idea of how I would like to present myself, but I'm not sure if these are congruent with how others see me.  So I need your input.  Please tell me the main 1 or 2 words of phrases that you think of when you think of me.  Email me or comment (below.)

Here's a list of several words that I thought of that might be in there somewhere.  Feel free to come up with words that are not on this list.  Just be honest, please.
