Fred Speaks - Consistency

This episode is about having consistency in our lives and what consistency does for us. 1. Consistency Enables Measurement. Unless you try a new behavior consistently for a period of time you won’t know if it works or not. How would you measure the new behavior’s effectiveness if you cannot measure consistent performance? 2. Consistency Produces Accountability. Unless you consistently execute your roles and responsibilities others cannot be certain that you will be accountable for your actions. 3. Consistency Establishes Your Reputation. Performance consistency adds to your professional reputation. When you achieve a track record of success, your professional reputation speaks for itself. You won’t establish a track record if you are forever shifting gears or trying new tactics – such as chasing the next shiny object – if you don’t deliver results. 4. Consistency Keeps You Relevant. To remain relevant, you have to be consistently and evenly present and contributing to the conversation, not just when the large or sexy projects are up for discussion. 5. Consistency Reinforces Your Message. The people around you pay more attention to what you do rather than what you say. Consistency of behavior builds confidence in your message.
