How Are You Perceived?

Eduardo Garcia in The Me-Suite

Your host, Donna Peters, interviews Eduardo Garcia, Partner and first-generation to the US. Eduardo is an avid Me-Suite listener and nudged us to focus on two topics that needed more attention: stakeholder management and flexibility. Eduardo shares how we cannot rely on our work alone to speak for itself. We must do the work to understand how we are perceived by others. What is our personal brand? And how does knowing our personal brand help us meet stakeholder needs and build relationships through empathy and flexibility? Some notable quotables include:

• everyone has a story we can learn from--invest the time to learn others' stories

• assume positive intention whenever you face friction

• when things are done differently by someone else, there's a reason why, so listen and learn

Eduardo's core values are be provocative, be curious, be tenacious, and stewardship.
