Envisioning Possibilities – Reputation
Promises
“ The woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep.” Robert Frost
My biggest tip is to keep your promises. Do what you say you are going to do. We make a promise to our clients, associates, and friends when we say we are going to “do” something.
As a volunteer, especially in the business world, your actions are scrutinized by potential clients. They observe whether you complete your tasks on time, the quality of your work, and your level of commitment. This underscores the importance of maintaining a good reputation.
Building a good reputation takes time but can be lost in a heartbeat. Be proactive, stay authentic, and prioritize your business’s reputation for long-term success!
Influence
You can’t demand influence—you earn it
Resilience
You’re not born resilient—you become resilient.
Green Light
Sometimes we wait for a green light that never comes. A promotion. A signal. Someone saying, “Go ahead.” But what if the real signal is… you?
Own the Room
You don’t need to walk into a room to own it. Your presence shows up before you do—even on Zoom.
Active Listening
The most influential people aren’t the ones who talk the most. They’re the ones who listen best
Clarity Beats Confidence
People don’t need you to have all the answers—they need you to be clear.
I agree with you, that if we don’t do what we have said we will, that will get noticed. It’s important to under promise and over deliver, as they say.
