Outside the Box:
Branding Your Unique ‘X-Factor’ Without Being Trapped in a Predefined Box
639 Rúna Magnusdottir: Outside the Box
Using Entrepreneurship as a Force for Social Good
These days it seems we’re all so focused on our differences, our distinct identities, our identity politics that it’s easy to lose what we all have in common.
It’s become too easy for any of us to be put into a pre-defined box that can trap us in lives that deny our full and true potential.
Fact is, we’re more than the box (or set of boxes) we put ourselves into, others put us into, or we put others into. So, what boxes are you in, by choice or otherwise? And how does that influence what you think of yourself, your abilities, and your value?
Rúna Magnusdottir is the co-creator of the No More Boxes Movement, the antidote to division and black and white thinking. A leadership coach and branding expert, Rúna helps thought-leaders and change-makers to become better, bolder, and brighter as the leading lights in their industries, and break free from their socially conditioned boxes.
So how do you find your “X Factor” unique differentiation without being constrained by self-imposed or society-imposed boxes?
Author of Branding Your X-Factor and co-author of The Story of Boxes, the Good, the Bad & the Ugly, Rúna shares today all things branding, how entrepreneurship can be used as a force for positive change in the world, plus played a leading role in Iceland’s National Assembly where the nation’s leaders collectively worked together to reinvigorate the country following the 2008 economic meltdown.
- How to break free from our socially conditioned boxes
- Why our differences should be celebrated not avoided
- How “gender boxes” play out in the business world and what must change
- How entrepreneurship is a force for social good
- The inside skinny on great “X Factor” branding
- And much more!
