#46 Your Reputation Is Being Built Whether You Do Something About It Or Not
Episode 46
Monday, 2 March, 2026

In this episode, Frieda and Anya explore the often uncomfortable gap between how we experience ourselves and how others experience us, and why that gap matters more than we think. Drawing on insights from reputable leadership development research (Leadership Circle, Hogan assessments, Johari window), we unpack how reputations are formed (with or without our input), how perception shapes opportunity and why acting without awareness can quietly limit our impact. As always, we share a practical reflection experiment to help you start closing perception gaps, gather actionable feedback with curiosity and lead with greater alignment and effectiveness. We love hearing how experiments work out for you. Email us at <frieda@bravingboundaries.com> and <anya@anyasmirnova.com>. Please rate, review and subscribe.
