The Personal Branding MOOC course provided by Coursera, served me as a well-structured guide for defining my personal brand by summing up my aspirations and goals. Starting with the Myers-Briggs personality test followed by understanding of the importance of authenticity while creating my mission statement, I have been able to organize the goals for my personal brand. A summary of pros and cons of selected social media validated the vision I have had while working on the PLE assignment during previous classes. This course also included a chapter about digital privacy directly linked to the DIP activity, and only highlighted the importance of taking control over my digital footprint. Finally, I was able to establish my personal brand and I am now following the step-by-step procedure of implying this personal brand in my social media and overall digital presence. I will also consider adding Coursera to my PLE by researching courses that might interest me in my personal, academic and professional future.
