5 titles I would love to have!
Chris Guillebeau, author of 279 Days to Overnight Success, writes: “Whenever anyone talks about creating success for themselves or someone else, the first question you should ask is, “What does success look like?” In other words, how is it measured?”
His definition success for his writing career is that he can now introduce himself to strangers as “a writer.” This would mean that a struggling performer would know they are successful when they can call themselves “an actor.” This got me thinking about what title I would want to introduce myself as in the future. I narrowed it down to my top 5:
- Dream Champion. Inspired by Cameron Harold, I think it would be amazing to be responsible for helping making people’s dreams come true. However trivial or extravagant, each dream deserves to be fulfilled.
- Virtual Relations Manager. Think a mix between Obama’s campaign manager and an online ombudsmen / connector. I would enrich customers’ connections with the organization online while providing a point person that can help them navigate their interaction with the organization and its many departments.
- VP Experience. I’d bring together HR, Marketing/Communications, and Customer Service/Client Support to create meaningful and consistent “touch points” for the current and prospective staff and customer base. It would take customer service and employee satisfaction to a whole new level by making their experience with the organization both personally enriching and strategically purposeful.
- CEO – Community Engagement Officer. A job responsible for incorporating philanthropic endeavours with professional development opportunities for the staff team. Reaching out into the local and international community to provide social and financial capital, while enriching the lives of organization’s staff and those that live next door.
- Matt Corker. … … My own name. Period. A title unique to me as no one else can be “Matt Corker” in an organization. Your own name is a title of success in itself! So embrace your true abilities and passions and don’t let your job title restrict your potential to be great!
