In that order, he has shared some tips for those looking forward to work on biographies: ●Get Personal Where are you from? Are you married? Do you have children? Pets? Your biography might not be a "tell-all" column but do consider sharing some personal information about yourself. ●Pictures Speak Louder than the Words It is important to make sure you have a current, nicely done professional photo to accompany your biography. When people read about you, they would really want to see a photo of the person they are reading about. ●Say It Out Loud Joe looks at biography as a place to share special credentials you've earned in your industry, titles, degrees, and certifications that highlight your expertise in a certain area. In his opinion, people love to know about experiences. ●Show Your Achievements to the World A biography is also an excellent place to share any and all awards you've won over the years-both personal and professional. Even if you were a nominee or a finalist, Joe suggests you go ahead and add this to your biography as it shows how you stand out from the crowd in your area of expertise. ●Don’t Forget to Highlight Those Extra-Curricular Activities If you have a hobby or special interest outside of your business or work, Joe Girouard recommends mentioning that as there may be someone in the audience who might have similar interests and this piece of information about you could create a deeper connection for listening to what you have to share.
