WomenX Pakistan held a session with Aurelie Salvaire, a
French social impact entrepreneur, titled THE BRAND OF YOU, at PSTD. The
session highlighted the need for being a brand yourself and selling yourself,
being a woman, to the right people. Women are usually great at selling
everything and everyone but themselves, they usually think socially it is not
acceptable to promote them publically. The session talked about these
challenges that hold us back to promote the brand ‘YOU’ and to project with
confidence that this is who we really are.
Aurelie emphasized on this quote by Buddha, the MIND is everything you think you BECOME.
To keep your mind in place meditate; add some nice practices to your bed time,
like write a gratitude journal every night. Pay gratitude visits to people you
love and don’t get time to express, write letters or just call them to tell
them that you love them.
The workshop helped the WOMENX participants figure out their
WHY in order to pitch their project more efficiently and present themselves in
a more genuine and original way during networking sessions.
