GCT — goals · content · targeting

Questions for you, Bryce

Answer these and your audit sharpens from good to precise. These are the gaps where your goals, content focus, or target audience weren’t fully clear to us.

1

No LinkedIn profile found

Does he have a LinkedIn profile? If not, has he been on LinkedIn before and deleted it, or simply never created one? This is an immediate baseline gap.

2

Workshop goal

What specifically brought him to Dennis Yu's Wichita workshop — is this personal career development, employer-sponsored (e.g., RBS IT is sending him), or something else?

3

Personal brand objective

Does he want to build a personal brand as an IT/cybersecurity professional, or is the goal something else (side business, employer recruitment, thought leadership, job mobility)?

4

Certifications held

What certifications does he hold? (CompTIA A+/Network+/Security+, CISSP, Microsoft, AWS, etc.) These are the most immediate credibility-building assets for an MSP systems engineer.

5

Areas of technical specialization

Within systems engineering at an MSP, what is his deepest area of expertise — networking, cybersecurity, cloud, servers, compliance (HIPAA/CMMC)? This would define his personal brand niche.

6

Current social platforms

Is he completely absent from social media, or does he have personal accounts he keeps private? Starting point matters for strategy.

7

Content comfort level

Has he ever written a blog post, posted about IT topics, done a video, or participated in a forum (Reddit, Spiceworks, etc.)? Any existing content habit to build on?

8

Employer relationship to brand-building

Does RBS IT support or encourage employee personal branding? Would content about cybersecurity/IT topics reflect positively on the employer, or is there tension?
