How do you define credibility? How do you know that someone is credible? How do you know that their word is golden? My answer: they do what they say they will do. That sounds easy, but it's not. In fact, most of us willingly agree to the tasks that people ask us to do, whether at work or at home, until we find ourselves overburdened and stressed out. Is your to-do list packed? Is it so packed that it affects your credibility? Remember: it's okay to let some items that come your way to end up on your to-don't list. Credibility is hard to earn and harder to earn back. Don't squander it away in an eagerness to please others. |
