If you commute to work on public transportation or travel by plane for work, then you know that there is a lot of wasted time. During time time, you are either working, reading, sleeping, or staring into space. You need to make sure that you are taking advantage of this time by being productive.
If you don’t have any work to do or need a break, then leverage this idle time to work on your brand. Below are 5 activities that you will strengthen your brand.
1. Work on your brand expertise by writing articles or blog posts that you will release to the world.
2. Practice your personal introduction by talking to strangers. The more people who you talk to the better you can tweak it and the more comfortable you will be using it at a networking event.
3. Talking to a variety of strangers will also get you more comfortable speaking with people in public who you don’t know. You need to come across as confident when building relationships.
4. Keep up to date with business trends, current events, and your industry by continuously reading books, papers, and magazines. You should always have reading material with you so you can maximize any travel time.
5. Keep in touch with people by responding to emails, if you can. As our lives get busier and busier, it can sometimes be hard to keep in touch with people. So, take any open moment to keep in touch.
