Audit your reputation before others do.

The useful takeaway

Senior professionals are often assessed before a meeting begins. Disconnected articles, biographies and recommendations can quietly weaken an otherwise strong reputation.

Your short exercise

1. Search your name and open the first five professional results.
2. For each result, note whether it reinforces your current expertise, leadership scope and point of view.
3. Update or counterbalance the most misleading signal with a current biography, article, recommendation or featured proof.

Worked example
An executive whose search results emphasise an earlier operational role adds a current board biography and recent transformation case note.

Check your output

• □ The most visible results reflect your present direction.
• □ Leadership claims have credible support.
• □ Outdated or contradictory signals have a clear correction plan.

A useful private draft counts as completion.
