I watched "It doesn't take money to make money" by Brandon Leibel on You
Tube. The presentation was about what him and his friends had to do to make
their company successful. With them quitting their jobs, eating rice and beans
every day and using the tools provided to them on you tube and other social
media networks, these men put together a business without having to spend money
they didn't have. They taught themselves the basics and spent many hours on the
beach and umbering to network and get followers on their Instagram account.
Doing this helped their company tremendously by gaining thousands of followers
and being featured on the news which led buyer to their website to purchase.
This presentation was highly effective in my own personal opinion. He made me
realize that there are so many free outlets to use to promote your company and
that if you take the time and effort, you can turn nothing into a huge something.
A presenter can connect with their audience by asking questions, engaging, being
personable, and talking about what the audience is there for .I try to establish and
maintain credibility in my workplace by always being honest and transparent with
people. I have noticed that people show more respect for you when you are
trustworthy, even if that means having to say things that might be harsh or
offensive. I also always try to lead by example. I am a strong believer that
people show more respect towards you when you are willing to do whatever you
ask of them yourself. Having had my fair share of poor supervisors over the
years, I can also attest to that belief. I always had contempt for the supervisors
that were never willing to do what they expected of others, and vice versa I
always had utmost respect and admiration for those who would step up and lead
by example .I think that it is important to establish credibility as a business
professional because people tend to side with those that have a positive reputation
over those that do not. This is very important in the business world, especially if
you are a small business trying to gain a foothold since there is so much
competition available.A poorly written message impacts a leader's credibility
severely because people look to their leaders for guidance and inspiration. Sending
a poorly crafted message impacts the leader's image and may cause the leader to
lose most, if not all, of their respect and competence in the eyes of those being
led.I am currently a bus driver for mine sites, so most of our communication is
verbal, rather than written. Most of our credibility is established when something
goes wrong, and understanding how to deal with the problem as quickly and
safely as possible. If you are able to quickly and safely deal with most problems
arise, most people around you that know about it are much more willing to trust
whatever you say. The newer you are or if you have not dealt with any out of
the ordinary situations you are likely to be less trusted by those around you. I
have worked there six days a week, two shifts a day for the past six months. I
have dealt with numerous issues both on and off my bus, and the miners I drive
have started to trust that I know what I am doing. The importance for business
professionals to be credible is so that everyone moves in the same way they do
towards a goal. If you have a supervisor with low credibility attempting to reach
a goal, you may not like or follow their plan, and end up working directly
against what they want, causing more harm throughout the process than doing
nothing in the first place. I work directly under my supervisor then there are four
staff directly under me. I feel like i maintain credibility by having a good work
ethic. I don't ask my staff to do anything that i would not do and i treat all my
staff with respect. I am always telling staff that if they need help or don't
understand something, they can call me anytime for help. If my staff feel like
they need more training i have no problem giving them more training. My word
is my bond so if i tell my staff that i will do something i try to do it and if
it cant be done, i let them know that i was not able to complete the task. I dont
think Im better than my coworkers and am big on teamwork because i feel like
the job cant be done properly without a team. When sending messages at work i
try to think about the people who will be reading the message. One coworker in
particular tends to feel like she is being targeted so i try to remember to use
words like WE and US. I start the message off with a nice greeting and end it
the same way. I read over my text before sending it to make sure it doesnt read
as disrespectful to any one. An important factor in developing credibility in the
workplace is to listen to your team. You build a level of trust by listening and
showing you care. Integrity and respect are integral in the development and to
maintain credibility. Being accountable is another example of credibility that cannot
be understated. Taking on the role of leader is pivotal. Encourage collaboration
along the way. A strong leader knows when to lead but also when to follow.
Promoting synergy is another contributing factor to establishing credibility in the
professional environment.A poorly written message can affect someone's credibility
because it can cause another team member to be confused by the message,
resulting in that person wondering how competent the writer is. It can affect
proficiency and impact morale in the workplace. Writing a message that is well
crafted, thought out and meaningful can impact the work environment in a positive
way. I believe establishing one’s credibility is a simple and straightforward process,
although it requires a rather large amount of discipline and consistency to create
it and maintain it. The process of establishing credibility requires a person to be
consistent, reliable, honest, and understandable. I also believe that with regards to
being understandable, a person should be almost predictable to a certain extent.
Time management plays a large role in developing credibility in not only the
professional areas of life but the personal areas as well. Sticking to a plan, being
consistent in making deadlines and meeting them, being punctual and reliable,
trustworthy and thorough all play a part in building a person’s reputation for
being credible and an asset for a company.When a person who holds a leadership
role in a business writes correspondence poorly to their staff or fellow employees,
it can impact that person’s image, as well as their reputation in a negative way.
This can result in a loss of respect. It can be difficult for an individual to be
comfortable taking instruction from another person who cannot compose something
as simple as a message to their employees. Negative feelings and emotions can
easily become a problem that spreads throughout a work environment through
channels like gossip and chat during breaks amongst employees. It can be difficult
to instruct a group of adults on a job or a project when the group has little to
no respect for you.On the other hand, if an individual is consistent and capable
of writing and sending well written, thorough, grammatically correct messages and
other correspondence to employees, the staff will have a much easier time
following instructions and guidance from that leader. That person will be more
likely to gain respect and maintain a certain level of needed respect for the
leadership of the company. Negative chatter during breaks amongst employees will
not be an issue, and in some cases may shift to positive comments regarding the
business leadership amongst the employees. That can only help push the company
in a positive direction in the end. In my experience, in order to be successful in
your career and to run a successful company, creditability is extremely important.
Some individuals make a living doing seminars for professionals on the
importance. You can develop credibility by showing others that they can rely on
you, that you are dependable, that you are knowledgeable, and ethical. You
maintain credibility by maintaining all the characteristics just listed. It is important
to establish and maintain credibility, so others trust that you are capable and
reliable regarding your job and your responsibilities. Without credibility, others may
question your “work product” or word. Creditability will allow others to trust you
and will open more doors for more opportunities or business and/or personal
growth.Ethics are part of credibility. When messages are poorly written, others may
view the author of the message as unethical. Customers do not want to deal with
Owners and companies that are unethical. When you lose your credibility, it can
be very difficult to convince others that you are creditable. You or your company
will receive a “bad rep”. When building credibility, it takes time and patience to
build it up. Trying to build it in the workplace can be hard sometimes. You
make sure you show up on time everyday, do your work to the best of your
ability, and even beyond sometimes, in hope that doing so shows them that you
are a reliable, responsible, and dependable worker. While in hoping it does
positive and proves to your boss, it can also bring negativity from other co-
workers due to jealousy, bullying, etc. That is also where your credibility would
come into play on how you would handle that type of situation. When building
credibility with professionals, it is important to make sure you are clear and
precise when it comes to communicating. Sending a poorly written message can
potentially cause someone to misunderstand the initial act in place and could result
in a negative outcome. You should make sure your messages are clear and easily
understandable as well as precise and professional. You could be trying to say one
thing but the other person thinks of a completely different scenario in what you
are trying to say. It could cause confusion for all parties involved. I do everything
I can to develop and maintain my credibility daily. I am in a position that
requires me to solve problems with the help of multiple teams. In doing so, I
must maintain my accuracy while sharing requests for work to be completed
specifically. The reading spoke about these requirements. I found it very accurate
in looking at previous times my work has been successful, and helped my
credibility. Specifically the portion that read “Your colleagues, clients, and other
contacts expect complete information so they can act on your message
immediately.” I do my best to ensure accuracy in my requests, so that the
purpose of my communication is read well, and easy to understand. The next line
in the previous quote, mentions what happens if this is not done.. “Otherwise,
they will need to contact you to get additional information, or worse yet, ignore
your message altogether.” Ignoring a message would mark you as not credible. It's
not something that you can do one day out of the week. It is something we must
maintain as relationships require constant nurturing (just as any relationship), to
maintain a continued respect.Building credibility at workplace is hard and it may
take time. I try to build and maintain my credibility at workplace by being
honest, show respect for everybody, being reliable, and a good teacher and learner.
Also, it is particularly important to listen to coworkers. I always try to show my
coworkers I care. I like to think of my coworkers as family, it is important to
try to know them as much as possible that way I know what tone I should use
when communicate with them. Credibility is crucial for business professionals.
Create and maintain credibility as a professional may lead your
company/organization to gain a good reputation. Thinking as a costumer or client,
I will prefer to do business with a company/organization with a good reputation.
A poorly written message may impact in a negative way a leader’s credibility. If
the message is not clear, it may cause misunderstanding. Sometimes the message
is not written with the entire audience in mind, making feel part of the audience
dissatisfied. When a leader’s credibility is not negative may lead to staff frustration
and affect productivity at workplace. Credibility in the workplace is an extremely
important thing to establish in the workplace because it can have lasting effects to
you and to those around you on how they perceive you not only as a worker,
but as a person also. My reflection on creditability and how I develop it in the
workplace is establishing relationships with my fellow coworkers and maintaining
that relationship with them even outside of work. I also make sure that I do not
divert my ways while working and only adjust based on the needs of the team
and if it would benefit all of us. That to me will keep the creditability as a
worker and a fellow member in the workplace because of my commitment to
always staying the same and only changing if I needed to. Establishing
creditability is crucial to success in building professional relationships with people
and further growth in any aspect in life both professional and personal. When
someone creates a poor representation with themselves and loses their credibility,
you begin to lose something that is essential and almost a death sentence to
creating a business relationship with them and that is trust. Trust I think Is
immediately lost when you lose your credibility with anyone and I think this is
true especially form a business standpoint. Credibility is earned, and when
establishing a new relationship, it cannot be easy to start. I establish credibility by
ensuring I follow through with my commitments and keep my promises. This
shows others I can be relied on to handle tasks by the advised timeline and
builds on to my credibility. I also try to be socially responsible whenever I can,
especially when issues arise due to my actions. This action shows I can be
trusted, and I can take responsibility when things go wrong. However, while it can
be seen as unfavorable, it's good to know I can take charge of what issues I
create and do what I can to fix the problem. It is essential to have credibility
when being a business professional, from an entry level position to a CEO. If a
message written by a leader is poorly written, it can be seen as uncredible and
lead to distrust in leadership. From here, it can cause the hierarchy to breakdown.
Workplace credibility is so important in order to succeed. Having that reputation
of being credible can really build your business with customers and employees. To
develop credibility, you need to be consistent. Everything you do and say should
always be consistent. Being open and communicating properly will give you
credibility over time. Always own up to your mistakes, and most importantly, be
honest. No one will want to do business with someone who lies, does not keep
their word, and is not communicative. Achieving awards or working your way up
through a business is a good way of proving you are a credible and dependable
person.
A poorly written message can impact your business and make you seem
incompetent. People will not take you seriously and will not want to work with
you. Ensuring your message is properly read with clear tones and correct
information will ensure credibility. When composing a business message I always
make sure to properly read over my message and make sure there is no confusion
or anything that can lead people to believe I am being harsh. Workplace
credibility is not something a person starts off with but a skill set someone
develops overtime. You earn credibly once you prove that you are a dependable,
hardworking employee. Once you start to become trust worthy your able to lead
by example and this will generally build a person credibility. Its a lot easier for
a person to gain that credibility when they actually do something they enjoy,
every now and then you experience employees that don't care for their job so
they tend to show bad professionalism in the workplace thus makes them not
credible in the future.
Establishing credibility as a business professional is very important because nobody
feels comfortable working with somebody that doesn't have a reputation of
credibility. A business is strongly built of off trust.
A poorly written message can impact a leaders credibility because the wrong
choice of words can divert the reader from the true meaning of your message and
also send out the idea that you may be a hypocrite to whatever it is your trying
to prove. Workplace credibility is key to a successful career and pivotal in moving
up the ranks. I have worked in a beverage manufacturing facility for the past 13
years. Over the course of my career, I was able to establish credibility by creating
a track record of getting the job done consistently and sticking to my word. It
takes time but if you are consistently accomplishing the goals that are set out for
you and maintaining the responsibilities and duties that come with your position it
will not go unnoticed. If you are flakey even some of the time tour peers will
not have confidence in your ability to get the job done or meet the important
deadline that is set. Consistency is key in this aspect to build a track record.
Once you have put the time in and have the knowledge to back it up people will
come to you with issues that need to be resolved without second guessing your
ability to succeed, or whether you will get the job done in time. They will know
in their minds that you are the right person for the job. Developing and
maintaining credibility in my work place is pretty difficult for me because I work
at a car dealership so I have to learn a lot of different things about so many
different vehicles and if I do not know the answer to a question that someone
may ask me then I can easily lose credibility to them and seem like I do not
know what I am doing. I have to learn every single day and demo all sorts of
different vehicles to keep the information fresh in my mind so that I can be
prepared to answer any question that a customer might ask me when I am
showing them a vehicle. A poorly written message can make it seem like a leader
is uneducated and does not have the right to be leading others, so keeping a
good credibility and working on communication skills is huge when you are a
leader because having someone correct a mistake you have made in something like
a letter is really just down right embarrassing since you are supposed to be the
one leading them. The way I develop and maintain credibility in my work
environment is every day making sure I do better. As long as you do your best
every single day your goals and vision will become a reality. When people ask
me what makes me stay focus and wanting to do what I do every single day it's
pretty simple. I do it to make sure my family is good and I'm creating wealth
in others as well. When people hear and see how consistent I am it makes my
credibility that much more attractive because now people want to be surrounded
by me because of my work ethic. They want to be around me because they know
I will push them to their highest potential. When you are Network Marketer
having credibility is important because people normally don't follow or even pay
attention to an individual who hasn't impacted or made an impact in someone's
life. What credibility do I have and what results I have established to back me
up in letting others know I'm serious about my business. When it comes to
developing credibility; this is something that takes time to build. Be respectful,
hold yourself accountable and reliable. Put your best foot forward and remain loyal
and trustworthy. Build good rapport with your co workers and bosses. Most
importantly keep a positive attitude and a cheery disposition in the workplace at
all times even when it may seem impossible. Respect is earned not given. When
you are able to master these key points in credibility your work place becomes a
happy place. Your coworkers are more inclined to collaborate with you. This
increases productivity, creativity, and motivation. You will appear more confident
and competent and people will have the tendency to be more open with you if a
problem or a crisis is happening .A poorly written message can reflect negatively
on you and also your business. You need to be able to properly reach your target
audience with the correct facts, information, and knowledge. Your message needs
to reach your readers in a way that inspiration would spark from them reading it.
Stay welcoming and optimistic. You don't want to come off as sounding illiterate
or condescending; in doing so this will lower your credibility and your audience
will plummet; in return impacting you in a very negative way reducing your
credibility. Mistakes do happen but if you don't take the proper measures to
ensure your message is effective then you are only hurting yourself. Credibility
can go as fast as it comes. As a business communicator your word is your bond
and bond is your word. Reputation is everything. Developing credibility in the
workplace consists of being honest with information you share with not only with
clients but coworkers as well. Being on time to work if not early. Taking care of
your individual responsibilities first, so your team mates don't have to pick up
behind what you haven't taken care of. Once your own responsibilities are taken
care of then you can make yourself available to assist anyone who may need
help. Caring about your job and reputation is important. Having a great outlook
everyday goes a long way! It can be contagious.The importance of establishing
credibility is essential for your career simply because it establishes trust and
competence. If you have clients of your business that do not have confidence your
being honest or competent to do your job, then most likely there not going to be
your client. When communicating through writing it's vital that you are
professional, grammatically correct, and respectful to the reader. Make sure the
tone is not talking down to the client, but speaking to them in a way they
understand the point. The writing needs to be concise and to the point don't beat
around the bush. People appreciate bluntness to a degree. Professional clients don't
always have time to read lengthy messages. Be professional, competent, and stay
on topic. Credibility is just as important if not more important than anything else
in running a business, without it then your entire operation can get a bad
reputation, you can lose clients or even your job. I personally develop and
maintain credibility within the workplace by being on time every day, trustworthy,
and reliable. Completing the mission is the soul of my career. I help members out
process every day and by going over and above for them I have gained a great
relationship by showing them my credibility. A quick example for this is with me
telling the customer that I will get back to them with a question or a template
via email which I always follow through with. Being on time is a great deal and
with accomplishing this I am able to help complete the task at hand while helping
others. Lucky enough for me, I have great relationships within my company due
to my credibility and trustworthiness I provide. People notice and people talk, and
I am glad people come to me to confide in.A poorly written message can harshly
impact a leader’s credibility. I always try to re-read whatever I send out because
of how people can misconstrue what I am saying. By doing this it has saved me
a lot of grief and time trying to explain myself after the fact. With having bad
grammar and foul language in a written message, this could potentially lead to
people assuming you are incapable of many things including your job. establishing
credibility in my workplace is by being reliable which allows my coworkers or
supervisor to know they can depend on me. I am such a hard working person I
do no like leaving task undone and whenever I can help I always do. I am that
way in my personal life as well. It is very important to establish credibility for
business professionals because it can help you along the way in your career.
Being a good employee or even manager can take you a long way especially with
good credibility. It gives you a good rep, for example if you are looking for a
new job and want to use your current job as a reference it is good for them to
know you from your good credibility. A poorly written message can impacts a
leader's credibility because other companies will know you from that. You want to
always leave a positive mark wherever you work or even in your personal life
too. I believe I have good credibility in my workplace and personal life. Everyone
loves me and tells me how much of a good person I am. Establishing credibility
can be as easy as someone wishes to make it. Granted, we cannot anticipate
other's response or decoding of the messages we send, but we can do our best to
ensure the message is sent with a clear meaning. xx One way I develop credibility
within my workplace is by using clear wording. When we use confusing or
complex structures within our writing, we begin minimizing the impact it may
have on the reader because, they spend much of their time trying to figure out
what you are saying. Another aspect I use is speaking truthfully. When we partake
in the "rumor mill", or gossip, we diminish our ability to effectively connect with
those we work with. More importantly, we tarnish our reputation as being
trustworthy and competent as a leader.The final area I focus on is punctuation.
Proper use of punctuation helps the message flow in the way it is intended. When
we fail to use proper punctuation in messages, the thoughts can appear to flow
together, and the meaning we intended can be manipulated in ways that damage
its impact. Establishing credibility is critical to your business success. Without
credibility, people will not take you seriously. You establish your credibility in
several different ways be transparent, follow-through, build character, showcase
expertise, and remain professional. Admitting that you have made mistakes a bit
throughout your life, you indicate that you are relatable. When building credibility
at work it is important for all aspects of your career. This helps show that you
are a valuable employee, shows your abilities. There are many ways to build
credibility at work. The way that you present yourself when you speak is one of
them. Instead of using a passive voice, choose to use an active voice throughout
your writing. When using an active voice, it seems to come across more
authoritative and confident, this helps in communicating more clearly and
effectively. Make sure that you follow through with everything, work as a team if
you need help. How I develop and maintain credibility within my team is I
always follow through with whatever promises that are made to the team. Work
can be overwhelming at times but when I say I will do something no matter
what I make sure the task is done. When your team can trust you work seems
easier for them to achieve. Now when I am writhing out a email to the team,
One of the first things done is planning out the email, I keep notes of topics that
need to be addressed. When communicating with the team it is important to get
everything in one email and not do multiple emails also keeping things short and
to the point. I always offer support or ask the team to respond with anything i
can do to help them achieve the goal, or the task. There has always been success
when they team knows they are supported. Proper planning, writing, and review
are the keys to improve my expressions of positivity. I once sent a memo out to
employees about a wellness training day. I was trying to be positive and under
my signature line I wrote, "Get at least 10,000 steps a day at work to burn
calories." The memo went over well with everyone except two individuals who
were struggling with their weight. My boss told me the individuals were offended.
They did not want to participate in the training day because they felt pressured. I
indicated there was going to be physical activity, which was not the case. I did
not consider their values and priorities, anticipate the reaction, or the secondary
audiences as expressed in the textbook. Applying a positive writing style requires
consideration of the audience I am writing to. I needed to account for every type
of individual. Most of the employees were in good health. I did not think of the
support staff. I should have taken into account that there may be people resistant
to any fitness advice. Adding things outside of the scope of your message can be
just as damaging. I lost credibility by not keeping all aspects of my memo
focused. It was not logical and did not support the message. It avoided the logic
by distracting. It was not intentional, but it harmed. In the workplace it's very
important to maintain credibility once you develop a professional relationship with
the staff and manager. This makes the dynamic of the workplace flow and make
for any open space for communication which is important ad goes hand in hand
with building credibility. When I first tarted with the company I work for I was
shy and stand offish because I didn't know anyone but as I grew within the
company and got to know my managers, coworkers and higher ups managers
things got easier. Especially since I was the new face everyone made it their duty
to introduce themself and make me feel welcomed.Establishing credibility for
business purposes is very important because you never know who will be the
person to help you further in the company . I worked in retail for a few years
and I had a few regular customers that would ask for me when they came in to
shop particularly because I was always pleasant, I had a great time helping them
when they came in and I enjoyed my job. Building rapport is important because
you never know hose life you Ould make an impact on. whether it be something
small or big it makes a difference. Being work savvy, being on time and having
a good attitude about what you do matters as well. Face expressions are key as
well. Also, not jumping to making an excuse as to why something can't get done
instead of trying it first. I work in a note department of a bank. I am constantly
helping customers, working with numbers and emails. One way I keep my
credibility in my workplace is to make sure I do an efficient and quality job. If
I am working with a loan and I get my principal, interest, or escrow incorrect, I
would give the customer the wrong pay off which would lead to the customer not
trusting me to handle their loan finances. It is extremely important that I get
everything correct the first time. I have plenty of customers that will wait for me
to make payments or ask questions because I have gained credibility and their
trust. Establishing credibility is a major and effective task in the banking industry.
The more we are trusted in our town for being an efficient and credible bank the
more business we will get in the future. If you are unable to provide customers
with a positive and good experience, it can lead to less income for the bank as
a whole. I used to work for a restaurant and my boss was horrible at
communication. He would make promises he could not keep and even though I
worked for him for 8 years, I always knew he was not a credible source. His
poor attempts of making our stressful jobs more enjoyable with talks of bonuses
and raises only made employees leave to find other jobs that were more credible
and trustworthy. Unfortunately, my old boss ruined his credibility with me and I
could no longer look to him as a leader and I resigned. I've developed and
maintain credibility into the workplace. Is by being the best at what i do
establishing credibility means that people know you for this and know your good
at it.establishing credibility helps you in life because if you have a company it
will help people to find you and trust that you will do good work.establishing
credibility takes time because you have to see how the people feel about your
work.but by taking your time and perfecting your craft. By taking your time and
putting in the work it will pay off it will make your business flourished in the
long run. Every business has to start from somewhere and when you bring it
from the ground up people will see that and know that you mean what you say.
And you have the work to back it up. That's the beauty of it seeing your
hardwork pay off will motivate you to elevate even more to achieve more.
Credibility is really important in life because when people know who you are it
can help your business flourish.
