High-school Students’ personal branding and reputation challenges


What was Ambervale’s High-School’s project with the personal branding training workshop?


Project overview:

Delivering a personal branding and reputation fun and interactive workshop to 60 students.


Participants:

60 junior leaders from years 7-11 engaged in leadership learning & school projects.


Main expectations:

  • Helping high school students create a strong positive brand and reputation to assist their future careers.

  • Preparing future leaders to showcase their skillset and story.

  • Improving the school’s overall image and branding

Personal branding challenges Ambervale’s high-school students are facing


High-school students all face similar difficulties when it comes to their reputation, online visibility, and personal brand. Some of those challenges are:


  • Embracing their identity as high school students and future professionals

  • Understanding the role high school students have as school ambassadors.

  • Winning awareness over the impact of their behaviour inside and outside their high school

  • Finding value in focusing on their personal branding and reputation in high school

  • Developing strategies to build a positive and strong digital footprint that will assist their career.

  • Wearing the high school uniform with pride


New Reflections’ personal branding training workshops for high-school students


With Ambervale High School brief, expectations, time, and budget constraints, New Reflections developed the best personal branding training program:


The Personal Branding and Reputation training day was organised through 2 training formats, catering to large and small groups of participants.

The day was introduced to the big group through fun and interactive games and activities to engage everyone. Then, the junior leaders from years 7-11 have been invited to work in smaller groups to invite more personalised advice and give everyone a chance to participate. Some of the playful learning activities Ambervale high school students have been invited to take part in include debates, games, quizzes, and brainstorming sessions.



Reputation and high school students’ brand training workshop outlines:


  • Defining personal branding and understanding its importance for professional success

  • Learning more about first impressions and personal presentation

  • Understanding the impact communication skills and body language have on personal brand.

  • Wearing the uniform with pride and being a school ambassador

  • Embracing the school’s culture and respecting the school’s values

  • Focusing on their online presence for a safe and positive digital footprint

  • Developing professional conduct at all times by applying the right behaviours in different situations

  • Finding out how to develop a strong personal brand to assist their future careers.

How engaging was the workshop? Listen to the laughter in this short video and you will have a test of the training engagement.



Attending a personal branding and reputation training class


Thanks to our highly experienced and trained facilitators, the students immediately felt confident to engage, participate, and debate. They took the learning experience very seriously and engaged themselves in the games and activities with enthusiasm.

From the laughs, the smiles, and the passionate conversations, we can easily say that everyone had a really great day and enjoyed learning about their Personal Brand.


After the workshop, the students felt empowered and motivated to take better care of their personal brand and reputation, as they understood its importance and impact. They have learned how to present themselves and create a positive appearance online and offline. Furthermore, they learned how to successfully brand themselves, to represent their personality, passions, and skillset on social media. They will now take responsibility for their own actions and take better care on their social media channels.


The last area they committed to focus on was their first impression and personal appearance as they studied the following principles:

  • we do not get a second chance to make a first impression.

  • we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, still, we do.


Future Opportunities

It was a pleasure to work with Ambarvale High School’s young talents and we are looking forward to inspiring the next generation of future leaders.

New Reflections is aware of the need for students to not only develop their hard, technical skills but also focus on fundamental people skills, also called soft skills.


Soft skills are personal characteristics that enable high school students to interact well with others. Some of the most important soft skills for students include communication, self-confidence, emotional intelligence, leadership, and personal branding.
