How to ruin your reputation in a split second?
Avoid these commonly made mistakes that ruin your professional opportunities.
More detailed information
Warren Buffet once said: "It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you’ll do things differently.”
Reputational damage doesn't just come from major mistakes or scandals that make headlines in the news.
Because what is reputation?
Your reputation is what others think of you.
It’s the image they get from you.
It’s how you present yourself.
And this is based on 3 pillars:
How you act (gravitas)
How you speak (communication)
How you look (appearance)
In today’s era of social media, it no longer takes 5 minutes, as Warren Buffett said years ago before social media was even around, but today it sometimes only takes 5 seconds before you commit the blunder of your life.
In this keynote, Véronique discusses the most common mistakes that can damage your reputation to such an extent that you’re no longer even eligible for a certain project, job or you simply won’t find the right people for your company anymore.
