Personal Branding and Social Media is a blog on how social media is changing the landscape for personal branding.
David Onoue is a Gen Y professional with a strong passion for online social media, marketing, and entrepreneurship. David struggled through most of his childhood with school as he was never motivated to learn but that all changed when he reached college. David had an instructor who introduced him to Organizational Communications and online social media that changed his learning behavior forever.
He was born and raised on the island of Oahu (Hawaii) and received his B.A. in Communications from the University of Hawaii at Manoa in December of 2008.
David is currently the founder of a new yoga company: Sports Yoga Hawaii.
Here’s what others said about David (via LinkedIn):
“David is a professional who values the quality of work that he represents. Because of David’s great disposition, it allows him to create a comfortable and motivating environment for himself and the people around him. He’s prompt with the work in front of him and never delays the work yet to come. He’s always planning ahead and seems to enjoy daily, detailed tasks…With David, you have someone who is bright, articulate and will work hard and not stop until the job is done-and done well. You have someone with foresight, good judgment, loyalty and integrity. In a world where very few people hold all these qualities at the same time.” – Erika Buder-Nakasone
“David continually made improvements in his presentation materials, delivery, and style. He simply never stopped trying to be better even when he was doing a great job. Later, David was in my advanced class on leadership. In addition to completing the work for the course – he received an A+ — he read beyond the readings and brought additional insights and knowledge to the class discussions. David is creative and energetic. He speaks his mind but he is also self-reflective. I expect David to give me a call one day when he has become wildly successful, and I have no doubt that he will be successful.” – Dr. Christine Kirk-Kuwaye
“David Onoue is one of those rare people with genuine intellectual curiosity and the tenacity to follow up. He is one of the hardest working students I have encountered, and always took his responsibilities seriously and delivered top quality results. His endurance is second to none. He gets stuff done.” - Jeff McNeill
