Find the weak point in your reputation flywheel
Map your current reputation flywheel and strengthen the transition that is most likely to stall.
Your short exercise
- Write one current example for good work, earned trust, a recommendation and a resulting opportunity.
- Mark the weakest or missing transition between those stages.
- Choose one action that helps the next stage happen without manufacturing proof.
Worked example
Strong delivery is not yet becoming recommendation, so ask the client for permission to capture the outcome and who else might benefit from it.
Check your output
