THE BRAND
OF YOU with Aurélie Salvaire
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 started the session by
discussing with the audience her childhood stories and the sweet
messages in them, because these are the experiences that have
influenced her life – in a good as well as bad way. The good ones
shine, while the bad ones developed fear in her. Aurelie said, “These
fears make us develop different armours – blaming others, numbing
ourselves with toxics, aggression etc. These armours prevent us from
growing.” She further added, "There is a crack in everything,
that's where the light comes in"- the idea for imperfection and
not giving up is the way to live.
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.
