"How do you manage your reputation?"
Your reputation, your personal brand, is others' perception of you.
You cannot control what others say and think about you, however, you can influence this, by virtue of how you show up, both online and in person.
What is your reputation within your team, department, or organisation right now?
And what would you like it to be?
By getting clear on both -
- how you are perceived by others and
- how you want to be perceived, You can take action to close the gap, to influence the perception others have of you.
You may be thinking, "well, whatever I do differently, their opinions won't change...they have made their mind up!"
In fact, refining the way that you show up, will directly influence the way others respond to you, without them even realising!
Give some thought to the impression you are giving others, how you communicate, and the way you interact.
Your competitive advantage in the workplace begins with your reputation.
What is yours?
