Why should you care about your reputation?
You have a personal brand. Even if you’re just now launching your business, you are already known for acting, interacting and dressing a certain way. How you treat people, how you present yourself and how you run your business has a deep impact on how others perceive you! Those perceptions affect whether people want to work with you in the future.
What can you do about it?
When you intend to have a big impact, your reputation gets bigger and the stakes get higher. Lida Citroën coaches entrepreneurs on how to build, reclaim or transform the way people perceive them.
In this episode, Lida discusses accountability, public perception, and why your reputation can be the foundation for a strong and enduring business.
Quotes
“Everyone has a brand – by design or by default. You’re known for certain things – how you’ve been living your life and showing up. You’ve formed some type of reputation in the minds of people who interact with you. What I do is to help people take control of that, authentically.”
“One thing I help my clients do is separate reputation from fact. It’s hard when you’re being dragged. Separate what happened from what you feel about what happened. What are the short and long term implications? Has it actually damaged your career? I also help them decide who their audience is.”
“We have to know that someone’s perception of us is going to drive them to want to work with us…or not.”
“If people don’t see you and perceive you in the way that you want, you’re going to miss out on opportunities.”
