In a world before social media, (can you even imagine!) our elders emphasized the importance of manners, kindness, and honesty to safeguard our reputation.
They warned that reputation takes years to build and seconds to shatter.
Today, with the rise of personal branding, these lessons resonate more than ever.
Our personal brand, our REPUTATION, now extends far beyond our local community, reaching people worldwide.I still recall my mom's words during my teen-age years, urging me to not boast, and reminding me that true connections are built on character, not self-promotion.
It's a lesson I carry with me as we navigate a landscape where vanity metrics can often overshadow genuineness.
Our brand isn't solely defined by our online presence.
It's about how we treat others, the values we uphold, and the impact we make in our communities.
Kindness, honesty, and humility will never go out of style.
