When you think about reputation, the advice often sounds discouraging: “Once people think a certain way about you, it’s set in stone.” But reputations aren’t really fixed — they’re reflections of the stories people tell about you, and stories can be reshaped.

In this episode, we explore how to change your reputation: why it’s hard but not impossible, how to identify the qualities you want to be known for, and the daily practices that gradually shift how others perceive you.

💡 Modern Manager takeaway: Legacy Leaders shrug off negative perceptions, believing it’s everyone else’s problem if they can’t see the “real me.” Modern Managers understand that reputation shapes opportunity — and they take intentional steps to align how others see them with the values and value they bring.

🎧 Tune in to learn three practical strategies you can start using right away to reshape your reputation and open new doors.
