Who Are You

Many people define themselves by their professions. After all, their sense of self comes from the accomplishments achieved in the work world. But WHO you really are is more important that WHAT you are as a profession. “Who are YOU” to your professional peers? Does your daily behavior demonstrate that you are the type of expert that potential clients will demand, and highly value? I believe we would all like to be seen as:

 Reliable--Someone our clients, customers, co-workers and professionals within our networks can always rely on to manage their responsibilities and deliverables, return phone calls and e-mails, communicate consistently and clearly;

 Competent--Someone who continues to educate themselves in all aspects of their business so that they can do their very best for their clients and increase the likelihood of a successful business outcome for all concerned;

 Honest and Fair— Someone who knows that despite a primary obligation to a contractual client, we owe all parties to a business transaction honesty, fairness, and accuracy;

 Trustworthy—Someone we know will deliver all offers fairly and objectively, without regard to origin of an offer, will communicate clearly without adding undue bias, and who will not share confidential details to obtain an unfair advantage;

 Ethical—Someone who knows and follows a strong personal and/or industry Code of Ethics with respect to the treatment of others in business;

 Committed—Someone who is a productive member of the professional business community, sharing their knowledge and experience to support the development of fellow professionals, unselfishly contributing their talents and skills as needed.

Suppose you strive to be like the “someone” just described. . . . Your self-esteem and confidence will soar; your ability to influence others will rise to new levels, making you a superior negotiator. That strength of character and those professional qualities will lead inevitably to more clients and more career success. We must all constantly evaluate our professional and personal development in order to grow stronger and better! So, “Who are YOU today and Who are YOU planning to be tomorrow?”
