How We Do It!
The Leading Edge Of Team Branding™
Precision Is Key!
There are the two primary reasons why teams are not aligned and fail to communicate a clear message within an organization. Lack of consistency and synergy.
For a team to be effective there must be consistency from each team member. This program addresses those personal branding disciplines from agenda listed below, to make this possible.
“A team member is usually isolated because they are not understood. This lack of understanding leads to isolation. And it’s this isolation that creates discord within the team. And rest assured, this discord will be known throughout the organization.”
Parker Geiger CEO-Leading Edge Branding
Synergy is when the total effect is greater than the sum of the individual effects. In other words, each task that a team member completes only has “real” value when it is combined with all the other tasks of each team member, completing the project at hand.
PreWork™
PreWork™ is key in getting attendees engaged, peak their interest, and help gauge their knowledge on the topics being presented.
The PreWork™ is conducted online. Since each program is custom-tailored, the PreWork™ is as well.
Team Branding Tools
Leading Edge Branding utilizes the following three assessments for this program. Depending upon time, number of attendees and budget will determine which assessment area appropriate for the engagement.
Each tool is essential in helping your employees understand WHY they do and say what they do, and HOW they do what you do. It is about how they think and make decisions. This will help your employee build on their strengths while modifying their approach when communicating with others.
These assessments will help build better teams, build strong relationships, and create trust and credibility with others.
Our presentation will cover the following Leading Edge Team Branding Primary Disciplines™. Experiential practices, and role-play integrated with our Networking Video Lab Series™, the participants will learn to effectively communicate, handle objections, and reduce conflict resolution.
BEHAVIOR
Identifying an employee’s behavior style will help them gain a deeper understanding of their own behavioral style, as well as those of their colleagues and team members. This will help them improve communication, collaboration, and conflict resolution skills, as well as increase their self-awareness and empathy.
DRIVING FORCES
Identifying an employee’s Driving Forces helps them to better understand the underlying motivations or reasons they are inspired and helps guide their actions and decisions. Simply put, Driving Forces are a set of motivators that drive employees to take action and make decisions. It is “how” they do what they do. To help employees better understand what motivates them to do what they do, and what motivates others, will help them make better decisions and improve their performance.
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
Your employee’s Emotional Intelligence refers to the ability to recognize, understand, and manage their own emotions, as well as the emotions of others. It is a vital skill in the workplace as it helps them to build strong relationships with coworkers and customers by communicating effectively, adapt to change, work better in teams, and manage stress.
B.A.N.K. is a scientifically validated personality-based sales/communications methodology, and is an acronym for the four fundamental personality types used to understand behavior and communication:
Blueprint
Action
Nurturing
Knowledge
Leading Edge Branding created the Perception Identity 360™ to help your employees better understand their brand, how it impacts their business opportunities within the organization, and by understanding all the components that go into building a personal brand. And two, it helps our personal branding coaches, along with management, design a program that is custom-tailored to fit the professional development needs of the employees.
Perception IDentity Assessment™
Before any words are spoken or handshakes take place, a perception of your employee has already been formed. In a split second, others assimilate this perception as being more authoritative or approachable. We call this one’s Perception ID™ and will help set the tone for how a relationship is going to evolve, affecting your employee’s success potential.
When others perceive one’s Perception ID™ regardless of whether or not it is true of who they are, because it is the onlooker’s perception, will determine how one typically chooses to interact with them. This identity greatly impacts one’s personal brand.
The Parker Factor™
When employees gain a better understanding of how to strategically position their Perception ID™ to an audience or for any business situation or presentation, only then can he or she capitalize on the business at hand, having a results-driven outcome of their agenda.

Wardrobe Tips
One’s style is determined by his or her physical characteristics and personality traits. The Personal Branding Center has developed a system to help identify a primary and a secondary style, that when combined creates a look of to its own.
This segment of the program will identify cuts, styles, and details to create a personal style. The attendees face shape will be determined so that recommendations for hair cut/style, eyewear and collar lines can be made.
This segment will also determine font styles and colors, as well as email signatures and ensure that teams are dressed consistently so that others know they are dealing with a cohesive team.
Office and cell voicemails will be determined for all outgoing messages to ensure that consistent message are heard throughout the organization as well as with external customers.
Team Branding Intention Statement™
Our team will help the team develop a Team Branding Value Statement™ that is reflective of the overall solutions they provide within the organization. This is a powerful statement that should be reiterated whenever possible to reinforce the value of the team to the stakeholders.
Personal Branding Value Statement™
This statement helps a team member personalize his or contributing factors to the team. It's the perfect opportunity to demonstrate what value each team member brings to the organization. This statement should be results-driven, and not necessarily be about numbers!
It talks about how and why the team does what they do. It’s about the process to get things done. It is what promotes the team brand throughout the organization.
Personal Branding Snippets™
Team members are oftentimes asked, “What type of work do you do”? Typically, one responds with his or her job title. This is not very exciting to the listener and is probably not very memorable.
Leading Edge Branding™ created three ways to answer this question and help the team members respond appropriately for any situation that helps support the team brand.
Fundamental Snippet™
Visual Snippet™
Advanced Snippet™
Personal Branding SoundBites™
Each team member will design a Personal Branding SoundBite™ that is commonly referred to as an elevator pitch; however, this implies that one is actually trying to “sell” something on the spot. This is NOT the case.
The phrase “elevator pitch” originated from the old days of Hollywood. If a writer saw a production executive or producer on an elevator, then he or she only had about thirty seconds in the elevator to “pitch” an idea. A Personal Branding SoundBite™ is not about selling an idea or product. It is about promoting the team’s abilities and talents within the organization.
It is about an opportunity to gain visibility while sharing “organic” information about the team and one’s self so that a “seed of remembrance” is planted in the minds of others.
