YOU ARE A BUSINESS OF ONE
While Arielle Careers started as a side business writing resumes, Steven and Irene clearly have their pulse on the personal branding space.
They understand and exemplify what Tom Peters first assured back in 1997, each of us is a business of one. Arielle Careers will help you see yourself in this way.
Price Waterhouse Coopers has estimated that by the year 2022, which is only 7 years away, 2 out of 5 workers will be freelancers. In other words 40% of the workforce will be a business of one.
Now before you say “I’ve got a good job, with a good company, and I’ve got nothing to worry” please go listen to show 23 with Richard Kirby so you can be reminded that those days are past.
Job security is being replaced with employment security. Embracing yourself as a business of one and treating yourself as such, as Steven says during our discussion, is the best way for you to ensure your future employment security.
ARIELLE CAREERS
Arielle Careers is one of the top rated personal branding business in Australia. They provide a unique, holistic approach and includes both the written and the digital products needed in today’s increasingly digital world. In short, they help you look after your online reputation management.
Irene’s background in HR makes her especially adept at pulling a part who you are and what you’ve accomplished to date. This may seem easy on the surface but trust me it is not.
We are way to close to the actions we take each day to properly summarize the impact of our accomplishments. You might get a few things right but are they the most relevant and which accomplishments have you made that you do not recognize as such.
Irene helps you find and turn those accomplishments into your brand story which is leveraged into your resume and LinkedIn profiles. This helps you tell your story in a way that resonates with and instills a confidence in you that may not have existed before.
Steven has a passion for marketing and works with clients to leverage your story digitally. This may include building a custom website and/or helping establish your online and offline marketing campaign.
Marketing campaign you ask? Yes. Remember you are a business of one. Steven and Irene see this and they go the extra mile or kilometer to make sure their clients are seen in the most appropriate places.

Steven left us with these final thoughts.
“At the end of the day personal branding is really about the future of work and deciding how you will fit into that future so you can be better prepared for it.”
