What is credibility? Simply put: It is peoples’ trust in us and trust is the foundation of all human relationships.
Followers love leaders they trust; Children love their father who show trustworthiness and Banks lend money to borrowers they like and trust.

Remember: You have to earn Credibility. Other people control your reputation, but you control what you do to create credibility.
- Show up on time: Help people save time
- Keep your promises: Your word is your bond
- Do what you say you will do: Walk your talk
- Deliver more than you promise: Actions speak louder than words
- Live by the Golden Rule: You can have everything in life you want by helping other people get what they want.
With credibility, you earn your legacy: You leave this world better than you find it.
Rumi: When we are dead, seek not our tomb in the earth, but find it in the hearts of men.
