Point to Ponder Confidence about
Credibility By Bob 'Idea Man' Hooey
"No one gets taken seriously in this world unless he or she has credibility. Not credibility about brilliant ideas or heroic deeds, but credibility about daily habits and performance." A successful and sustainable career or business is built on established credibility. Your clients, employers, and co-workers want to be able to trust and rely on you to do what you say you'll do - when you say you'll do it. As you read through these 4 credibility factors (below), pause, and ask:
Here are the four basic ways in which we establish our
credibility:
Time is the most valuable commodity we have. It is precious in that it is finite and cannot be banked or saved - it must be used wisely. When you devalue my time - you devalue me! Show me I can count
on you to be there, and I begin to trust you.
Follow-through and doing what you say is rare. Often, based on experience, we expect to be disillusioned, to be lied to and disappointed. When we aren't, we are pleasantly surprised and your credibility soars. Under promise and over deliver!
What a nice surprise, when we discover that you actually finish what you start. What a difference this makes in the corporate field. This sets you apart from your competition. Resolve to start and complete what you commit to doing if you want to build a successful business or career.
Common courtesy is not that common. As individuals, we are often treated with a lack of civility or respect. Show appreciation for people and their willingness to deal with you. This will serve you well and win loyalty. These simple points may seem self-evident. Failure to observe them is the biggest cause of loss of credibility in our relationships. In an increasingly competitive global economy your clients want
to feel special. They want to be able to trust you.
More so, with increasing competition, credibility is a
career survival and business-building tool.

Remember, your clients and business leaders are busy. You need to be clear and concise to win and keep their attention. Start strong, present value, and conclude with impact.  Irene and I had a wonderful break from winter and work in
Cuba. See the pictures to get a sense of our adventure. What a
wonderful place and the people have an amazing attitude in spite of
having very little compared to what we enjoy. If our attitudes were
proportional to what we have - we as North American's should be over
the moon in gratitude.My 1st webinar for The Business
Link went well... 1st of a series with 3 more to go this month and
next.
Working on some writing projects
as well as following up with potential clients for speaking
engagements. Going to be an amazing spring.
