How to build the reputation you want | Beth Polish | TEDxOldHickory
“All we have is our reputation.” We say that all the time. But do we really know our own reputation? Is it the same with everyone we interact with? Colleagues? Friends? Family? Should it be? And in an AI-and technology-saturated world, can we have any control over it, let alone own it? The answer is we have to, especially because the world is shaped by the magnifying power of zeros and ones. And we can. We can absolutely embrace and own our reputation, nurture it, have agency over it. In this TEDxOldHickory talk, Beth Polish discusses why it’s vital for us, individually, and for society, that we don’t cede control over it to anyone or anything else.

I learned so much listening to Beth about the impact of technology on reputation. We tend to believe that the more connections and likes we have on social media, the more successful we can be. Beth shows us why this more-is-better approach can be a reputational risk. In doing so, she shows us how we can take back our humanness. Sally Helgesen

Well said, Beth Polish! We have the power to shape our reputation and stand in our own truth with integrity and compassion - in addition to recognizing others for their valued contributions!
We assume that our reputation matches our self-image, but it rarely does. Or, at least, not without a lot of introspection, hard work, and guidance from wise people like Beth Polish! Thank your for sharing some of your insights, Beth!
You own your reputation -- love the call to action about discovering how people "see" you vs how you want to be "seen".
Beth does a great job breaking down all of the things that go into our reputation, and what we can do to make sure that people think of us the way we want them to think of us. Leaves me thinking about how to be human in a data-focused world.
Great list of reputation holders, I'.e. Facebook, LinkedIn, performance review, etc.; in the end, we all need the "Courage" to own our reputation.
So interesting and informative! Great insights about taking control of our own reputations!
"Change is slow, consistency matters" ~ thanks Beth
I love the idea of 'owning' your reputation. Its something we rarely think of but perhaps the only thing we have any control over. Thank you for your inspirational talk!
These insights are so true Beth! I appreciate how your perspective re-shaped my perception of how we see ourselves versus how others see us!
Love your style Beth. I felt like I was in the living room with you and we were having an amazing conversation on reputation built by doing the right things to create and maintain our credibility. Excellently done!
Well done, Beth! We underindex on this topic and it's great to see you bring it to light. I loved the call to action to ask someone about our own reputation. It's important enough to ask.
So great to be reminded that even in the overwhelm of algorithms, I still have tremendous agency in terms of managing my reputation!
Great insights. Thank you!
Well said. Very informative.
I've spent a lot of time managing brand reputation, but not my own. Great insights, Beth!
Bravo Beth Polish! Your insight is so astute!
Great job Beth!👏🏽
Congrats Beth!
Reputation is real, it matters, take it seriously....thanks Beth!
Very informative and engaging!
This is not a confusing speech about reputation but a confusing speech about LinkedIn.
Thank you
It is very fruitful
Love the call to action: Take some time to think about your own reputation - Do you know what it is? Is it what you want it to be? How can you change your reputation by your actions? A lot to think about.
One day I will stand on this place.
This speech is really helpful. Thank You 😊
It is good people 😊

What is the Nakba?

chatgpt: The Nakba, which means "catastrophe" in Arabic, refers to the forced displacement of Palestinians during the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948. It resulted in the loss of homes, land, and livelihoods for many Palestinians, contributing to the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Mostly women and gangsters are concerned with reputation.

i wanted to understand and respect the speaker, but i hate to admit that i feel the same way 😭😭😭💀💀💀
didn't get anything
what was this talk 😭😭😭🤡 i had such high hopes going in, the first couple sentences seemed promising,,,, then every single sentence was an entirely new idea with no connection to the previous sentence. and even those ideas were just personal opinions with no data or reliable examples. what did any of this mean or intend to convey??? speaking of- what is so wrong with connecting with mutuals 💀 why will it “ruin my reputation” if i connect with a colleague of my ex-colleague who is in the same industry as me? or the friend of a friend whom i’ve heard about? literally how is that impacting my reputation iN tHe GraNd ScHemE oF tHiNgS and destroying the 1s and 0s of the digital algo- WHY WOULD THE ALGO EVEN CARE MISS MA’AM WHAT DO YOU MEAN 😩 what a load of bull, does tedx upload any talk ever now
Perplexing talk 😟 No clear structure, no clear points &, honestly, questionable opinion.
