Defining Reputation and Managing It

Reputation is defined as the echo that precedes you into a room and the echo that remains after you leave. It is like currency, working for you even before you enter a room. Building a great reputation involves being conscious of how you enter a room, making good first impressions, being present and attentive in conversations, and consistently showing up as your true self. Consistency, both offline and online, is key to curating your reputation and letting people know what you stand for.
