Is YOUR reputation working hard enough for you?

Everyone has one, but is your reputation working hard enough for you?

Your reputation can give you an edge, and you can use it to position and grow your professional profile.

Everyone has a reputation – what’s yours?

Reputation is what you’re known for, it’s what other people say about you when you’re not in the room.

It's a bit like a USP – you can use your reputation to position and sell your expertise. It accompanies you along your career journey.

What’s important in your line of work?

Having a good reputation gives you confidence, and it inspires confidence in others.

Non-fluffy reputation

When people sign up to work with me, they’re drawn to me for my sector experience, executive search background, and approach. Someone told me I’d been highly recommended and described as scarily brilliant. Executive search isn’t a fluffy industry. My clients benefit from someone who isn’t fluffy.

What’s your edge?

Having an edge isn't about being mean or ruthless – it’s where you do your best work. You can use discernment to find your people, the right company culture and leadership.

So come on…what’s your edge?

Are you known?

Your reputation will attract attention when it comes to those juicy roles that aren’t in the public domain. Being known helps. What are you doing to build your professional profile?

Are you on the radar?

In his book ‘Known’, Mark W. Schaefer describes his transition from high-flying somebody to self-employed nobody. I know many job seekers feel his pain. It’s easy to hide behind a job title until you haven’t got one. Mark goes on to explain how he cultivated a personal brand, grew his visibility, and established himself as an authority as an entrepreneur.

Are you tending to your professional profile, building your brand, boosting your visibility and establishing your authority?

If you’re struggling did you know I offer 6 months+ support to my heavyweight exec clients?

That’s because it usually takes 6 months+ (often more) to land a job and the stakes are high.

Once I’ve got them and their search in good shape, I help them to build their profiles and get on the right radars. I’m there at the end of the phone or on Zoom keeping them on track and focused.
