Your reputation is a powerful thing. How are you known? What do people assume about you? What do people think about you?
Conduct a Reputation Audit to find out.
Part 1:
We recommend sending the following email to a minimum of 3-5 people to get a fresh look at how you are known:
Hi {Name},
I am conducting a reputation audit to better understand how I am known and the impact I am having in the world. I would greatly appreciate your honest and direct answers to the following questions:
1. What can you count on me for?
2. What can you not count on me for?
3. What am I crazy good at?
4. Do you have any advice for me?
I appreciate your time and your thoughtful responses.
Thank you,
{Name}
Part 2:
Here's the hard part... read the feedback with an open mind. Try not to get defensive about it. Sometimes the feedback a person sends you says more about them than it does about you. Try it all on. See what's true or what the 2% truth might be. Look for what you are responsible for. If you get triggered or hooked by the feedback, get some coaching.
