Reliability is Clarity
What makes your work seem more reliable?
Clarity:
Clarity over who you’re talking to. If you’ll do anything for anybody, how can we rely on you to be good at doing thing particular thing for people like us?
Clarity over what you will (and won’t) do for them. We trust those who understand their craft with specificity and confidence. So be specific and confident.
Clarity over the terms and times. Ambiguity around your deliverables makes you seem less reliable, even if you do precisely shat you set out to achieve.
Clarity over when you should say no. Taking on too many projects makes you less reliable. It’s the curse of skilled, insecure talent.
If you want to be perceived as a reliable partner, peer or provider, can we trust you to communicate more clearly with us?
