1) What you know [Competencies].
2) Who you know [Relationships].
3) Who knows you? [Reputation]
I recall years ago a successful businessperson proposed that know-who is as important as know-how. Competency and credibility are as critical as the relationships you build and sustain. Your tribes of supporters help to build your recognition.
I appreciate that many readers who read this blog are PMETs who also pursue an amateur athletic lifestyle. What do they do sports seriously? Does their achievements outside of their profession complement and enhance their reputation as industry leaders? Or is sport a healthy way to vent off your frustration, as in racing. Being an ace swimmer, fast rider, and strong runner can help build your off-duty reputation as somebody who lives with excellence.
Your reputation matters! Build your personal branding. Live by a set of values that is honorable. Like others, and be liked.
