Day #395 - Reputation

How do you know people?

Our reputation is a story told around us: whilst we may hear it, we do not own it.

For this reason, reputation is fluid and contextual. To say we have a ‘strong’ or ‘good’ reputation may simply to be describe one story at one time. In truth, our reputation will sway and bend like a tree in the storm.

But that’s not to say that we should not be aware of it: our reputation is not simply a story that trails behind us like a shadow - it’s one that may precede us into the room.

Use your sixty seconds today to consider how you know people: how do you hear reputation, and how do you react to those stories?
