PROLOGUE
A Picture does say a thousand words,and one with the quote, says a million
What is the purpose behind this e-book? Simple, to praccally demonstrate that a
picture does say a thousand words and one with the quote, says a million, and sends
a powerful message. In fact I wanted this e-book to be a sort of coffee table e-book.
(and do let me know if I succeeded to some extent.)
I started using pictures for my personal branding more than 2 years ago and many of
them have gone decently viral. Somemes the message has been extremely simple
say, Great leaders are also good followers, good followers end up as great leaders.
Its a quotable quote, catchy and yet there is no complexity around it. May be we
have forgoen simplicity in the complex world in which we live and yet it is simple
messages which we remember forever.
Katy Goshtasbi, founder of Puris Image, USA says, The human eye lands and stays
on objects and people that are neutral, high energy and generally appealing to look
at. In other words, we like to look at and interact with those who are easy on the
eyeliterally. Creang an aesthecally appealing personal brand is about art and
proporonality as well as the proper use of color, paern, texture and design.

In fact a picture can say a whole story and so can a quote.
When I started out, some people told me,
You are no Einstein. Why do you put your own quotes?and I replied in a Facebook note, "Einstein himself said that Everyone is a
genius. But if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will live its
whole life believing that it is stupid." "Somemes our society may try to
drill inferiority complex in us. We have to safeguard ourselves BECAUSE
EVERYONE IS A GENIUS and if you have a self-doubt, you will find a million
people to confirm your doubt."
So bring out your inner genius, unleash your creavity, get the quote out
(wrapped up in a beauful picture).
And lo and behold, you are here, there and everywhere!!!

Enlarge Excel Evolve- The StoryWhen I talk of the necessity for personal growth, to be successful on social media,
my audience oen gives me a puzzled look. Then I give a smile and begin the explanaon of my
approach and philosophy, Enlarge as a Human Being, Excel as a Social Media Being and Evolve as a
Personal Brand.
February 2011. As an upcoming personal branding professional, I was creang and curang content
from fields as diverse as storytelling, personal development, and social media and online branding on
my social networks. Jennifer Sertl, my personal development coach nudged me during a Skype chat and
asked me about my focus and context.
It set me thinking and I thought hard. Was there a connecon? I found personal branding professionals
across the world try to differenate themselves from image management professionals, as they talk
about personal development as a part of personal branding (unlike image management). Then I came
across Time magazines arcle on personal branding, which defined personal branding as Part life
coaching, part management consulng, personal branding applies the language, philosophies and strat-
egies of Madison Avenue to the brand that is you.
I was geng clearer and now I needed a framework which could put the pieces together. And then the
phrase Enlarge Excel Evolve flashed in my mind (represenng a holisc approach to personal branding,
where personal development is the starng point of the journey.) Enlarge or personal development is a
very broad concept though, hence I have chosen the focus as wisdom on social media. (Personal
Growth, Wisdom & Social Media Success)
Then I did the detailing and the diagrammac representaon of 3 E.

I wanted to help professionals develop as global brands with a global mindset, hence the globe was kept

in the centre and the 3 Es formed a cycle around it. The green colour of 3Es represented sustainability
and the cycle represented the fact that the Enlarge Excel Evolve was a cyclical and connuous process.
Detailed Descripon
hp://www.dramitnagpal.com/3e-approach/
Step 1-ENLARGE as a Human Being
Personal growth should be the starng point and it connues through the journey of life.
The more you promote yourself, the more you are seen as a navel gazer and a person trying to prove
himself/herself. Keep looking for areas of improvement, keep looking inside for things gone wrong and
keep looking at the posive side of people.
Instead of filling your emoonal and ego tanks, fill the tanks of others. Enlarge and nurture your network
too and you will end up geng enlarged yourself. I once posted on Facebook, "People believe it, when
someone else is appreciang you & God comes to your rescue, when someone else is praying for you."
Step 2-EXCEL as a Social Media Being
Social media is a glasshouse in terms of transparency and hence it can be very difficult to hide your true
personality for long. Unfriend and remove connecon opons are easy to use. Social media is primarily
for sharing and not selling.
We should not forget social media is media too and we need not cause permanent damage to our
reputaon because we are temporarily upset.
As you start growing as a person, the results are visible sooner or a lile later. Your network starts
respecng you for your traits; be it wisdom, knowledge, caring atude and so on.
Step 3-EVOLVE as a Personal Brand(ed) Being.
You have already created a personal brand to a certain degree. Now the brand needs to evolve and grow
and the me has come to communicate and refine the brand. Once you have become what you aspired
for, you need to communicate what you are.
Ask your connecons and friends to give feedback for your ideas and business concepts. Take charge of
your life and your story. Keep enlarging, excelling and evolving and remember, The Show must go on.
(I express my deep gratude to my coach Jennifer Sertl who inspired me to refine
my philosophy and helped me connect, enlarge, excel and evolve. Like an elder
sister she has held my hand from the beginning of my social media journey in
2008. To know more about Jennifer Sertl's 3R (Resilience, Responsiveness and
