1. Behaviors – “how” you do the things you do
2. Motivators – “why”  you do the things you do
3. Attributes – “what” you are naturally gifted to do

This self exploration will provide a valuable foundation as you develop your brand and learn to package and promote everything that is wonderfully unique about “you”.
