Synopsis

You'd trust your life with some people. Others, you wouldn't trust for an instant, even when the stakes are low. Why? What builds the personal credibility that some people simply exude? What do they do differently? This book shows you and helps you build your own personal credibility, the #1 attribute in earning trust and achieving success. Renowned personal coach Sandra K. Allgeier begins with a set of powerful stories that demonstrate what personal credibility really consists of, how it's earned, and how easily it can be destroyed. You'll discover how small daily actions, together with specific communication techniques and decisions, shape others' view of whether you can be trusted. Next, Allgeier illuminates three oft-neglected, crucial secrets of personal credibility. You'll find a hands-on assessment tool designed to help you bring more personal authenticity and transparency to your interactions; as well as practical guidance on suspending judgment and really listening, thereby earning others' trust even if you ultimately choose to disagree. Allgeier concludes with seven specific steps you can take every day to increase your personal credibility, and rebuild credibility you may have already lost. Following her easy-to-understand, easy-to-use guidance, you can live a life that's not just more successful, but happier and more fulfilled, too.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

“The new ‘PC’ isn’t ‘political correctness’–it’s ‘personal credibility.’ This book is a needed reminder that no matter how old you are or what you’ve accomplished in life, you are never, ever done learning about yourself or those around you. From the easier-said-than-done resolution to avoid gossip to the it’s-as-hard-as-it-sounds process of building up your self-awareness, Allgeier has filled her book with the life lessons we never seem to fully learn the first time we hear them. (Or maybe that’s just me!)”

–Mike Staver, CEO of The Staver Group; author of Do You Know How to Shut Up? And 51 Other Life Lessons That Will Make You Uncomfortable

 

“To be an effective leader, you must be trustworthy. If people don’t trust you, they won’t follow you. And if they won’t follow you, your organization won’t meet its goals. Sandy Allgeier explains that personal credibility comes down to a simple truth: It’s not about the type of person you are; it’s about the types of things you do. If you want to be a great leader, read The Personal Credibility Factor.”

–Quint Studer, CEO and founder of Studer Group®; bestselling author of Results That Last: Hardwiring Behaviors That Will Take Your

Company to the Top and Hardwiring Excellence: Purpose, Worthwhile Work, Making a Difference

 

“Personal credibility has everything to do with how others perceive us and how we perceive ourselves. Sandy Allgeier’s book teaches the all-important truth that it doesn’t matter how much money, status, or power you have if nobody believes in you. Every parent should read The Personal Credibility Factor and instill its lessons in their kids. Achieving a full understanding of these principles is the first step in becoming a truly great human being.”

–Michele Borba, Ed.D., internationally renowned educator; award-winning author of 21 books including 12 Simple Secrets Real Moms Know: Getting Back to Basics and Raising Happy Kids; Nobody Likes Me, Everybody Hates Me!; and No More Misbehavin’: 38 Difficult Behaviors and How to Stop Them

 

Can you be trusted? Right now, someone is asking that question. If they decide to trust you, they’ll work with you, care about you, open up to you…help you live a more successful, more fulfilled, happier life. If not, you’re on your own…
