Your Brand/ Your Name/ Your Signature/ Chery Schmidt
Have you ever really given much thought to your name? Can you remember the first time you learned it, or how about the first time you wrote it? Did you ever think this would be your brand for life?I attended a graduation last Saturday, it was very nice. I was pretty impressed with one of the speakers and thought I would write about it this today. He started talking about how in kindergarten we are taught how to write our name.You first learn how to hold that pencil and draw out the letters from the alphabet. Your teacher helps you put those letters together to form your name, and then you go home and your parents, siblings and perhaps even your grandparents all partake in this first big event. You practice and practice writing your name until you get it just right.This is the beginning of building your brand, your signature, your reputation! Little did you know at this time in your life that something so important was taking place.
How many times do you think you wrote your name on the top of your papers while you were in school? Every paper had your signature right at the top!

I bet many of us at this point didn’t really even think about our name being our brand or how important that this is going to be for us in the future.When I got married I was very confused about what to do. Do I keep my maiden name, my husbands name or use both? HUM? Well I did make the decision to take on my husband’s last name. I guess this is a choice all of us girls come across when we get married. It was a tough one for me! My new identity began my new name, brand and my signature.When someone does a Google search for your name, what will they find?
