How Reputation Is Built at Work — Even When You’re Not There | Five with Mark
from Making Your Mark Podcast Hosted by Mark Bundang
Reputation isn’t built by what you say — it’s built by what others say when you’re not there. Consistent behavior, trust, and delivery shape how people experience you long after you’ve left the room. In this episode, I share a story from my time at Weir, leading a massive ERP implementation that tested my credibility and forced me to earn trust in high‑stakes environments. I talk about how an advocate helped open the door, how small wins built momentum, and how reputation transforms from “Can he deliver?” to “Can I get him on my project?” — even when you’re not in the room.
