Career success takes a status boost, not a power grab.How do you chart the career course you've always imagined? According to Alison Fragale, it's about gaining influence through status, power, and ultimately, being “a likeable badass.”As a research psychologist, professor, speaker, and author, Fragale is on a mission to help women take control of their careers. In her book Likeable Badass: How Women Get the Success They Deserve, she argues that most people have it backwards when pursuing career advancement. "We have talked for a long time [about] getting more power," she explains. However, by focusing first on achieving status (how respected we are), power will often come as a natural byproduct. "If you pursue status before, or at least alongside power, everything is going to fall into place," she says. “Status makes power a lot easier to achieve, and it makes power a lot easier to use.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, hosted by executive producer Jenny Luna, Fragale explores the communication strategies of a likeable badass, from building warmth and assertiveness to authentically connecting with colleagues. Whether you're building relationships in a new company or have been leading one for years, Fragale's insights will help you command respect while communicating with kindness.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premiumEpisode Reference Links:Alison FragaleAlison's Book: Likeable BadassJenny LunaEp.12 It's Not What You Say, It's How You Say It: How To Communicate PowerEp.15 The Art of Negotiation: How to Get More of What You Want  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:21) - Defining Power and Status (05:26) - Why Status Comes Before Power (06:19) - Communication Techniques to Build Status (09:27) - Evaluating Your Habits: Nonverbal and Verbal Cues (11:21) - Mentorship in Developing Communication (13:13) - Adapting to a New Work Culture (18:41) - Representing Difference Without Distance (19:49) - Overcoming Bad First Impressions (21:47) - The Final Three Question (25:32) - Conclusion    *****This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

Reputation plays a bigger role in SEO than most people realize, and it's only growing with the rise of generative search. In this episode, Jenny sits down with Hedy & Hopp's Project Management Lead, Kristin Weidman, to explore how reviews, listings, and brand consistency influence both traditional SEO and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization). They dig into how reputation signals shape search rankings, what tools and workflows to consider, and why timing and tone matter when asking for or responding to patient reviews.Connect with Kristin:https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristinweidman/ Connect with Jenny:Email: jenny@hedyandhopp.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennybristow/Further your understanding of what compliance means for healthcare marketing and get certified for it here: https://wearehipaasmart.com/ If you enjoyed this episode, we'd love to hear your feedback!

 'Every time I interviewed somebody, I said, is there anyone you think I should talk to? And so it had a network effect for me. My network grew with these generous, amazing, thoughtful people.' Writing a novel can be lonely; writing a thesis can be demanding; writing a business book can be a team effort. Charlotte Otter's done all of these, with a side of journalism, and in this week's podcast we talk about the different approach to those genres, and what she learned about structure and community along the way.  In her new book 'We Need New Leaders: Mastering reputation management to reshape the C-Suite', Charlotte argues that reputation is a powerful tool of advancement too often overlooked by - or unavailable to - people from underrepresented backgrounds. Which means that communications professionals can play a key role as allies for more equitable business. Listen in for a fresh take on how we can build better business leadership, and how you can write a better business book, too.   

On this episode, host Tom Testa sits down with Evan Steele, CEO of rater8 a company that specializes in online reputation management and practice improvement serving thousands of practices nationwide. Evan shares insights on ways AI-powered search is shaking up the patient decision-making process, the evolving role of patient reviews, and why structured review content is crucial to local SEO success.

And the IRS even says reputation has monetary worth.” – Stephanie Craig

Last week, my daughter graduated from Loyola University Chicago. After years of watching her build a life—on the field, on the sidelines, in the center of the action—she's stepping into the real world. And like so many graduates right now, she's walking in with drive, uncertainty, and a digital footprint that started long before her first job offer.This episode is a message to her—and to every graduate who needs a little direction that's not sugarcoated. It's a life list. The same one I've given my own kids (sometimes more than once). The same one I use with clients in crisis.In this episode:The top three questions students (and parents) ask me after every keynoteWhy your degree matters less than how well you can read a roomThe habits and mindsets that actually keep reputations intactWhat to say in your first “I don't know what to do” moment at workAnd the one thing every Gen Z grad needs to hear—especially those shaped by the pandemic yearsThis is not motivational filler. It's a real list for the real world. Send it to your grad. Save it for your kid. Or come back to it when your own clarity runs low.Read the entire list here on my PR Breakdown Substack: What No One Tells New Grads About Crisis Communication (And Life) Want More Behind the Breakdown?

Bill Belichick has always been a master of control—on the field, in the press, and with his own narrative. But this episode examines how that carefully crafted reputation is unraveling, not because of a fumbled statement, but due to the outsize influence of his much-younger girlfriend, Jordan Hudson. A viral CBS interview, public statements blaming the media, and confusion about her expanding “professional” role—all illustrate a pattern where the desire to squash uncomfortable questions only fuels more curiosity and suspicion for the current UNC football coach. Using the latest PR missteps as a case study, the episode spotlights the danger of losing control over the story to someone whose only real credential is main character energy. When boundary issues and amateur crisis management collide, even New England legends risk getting steamrolled by bad optics. The tension between protecting privacy and inviting chaos gets put under the spotlight, challenging listeners to recognize when a message stops being strategy and starts becoming farce.In this episode:The real cost of outsourcing reputation management to someone with minimal experience and maximum influenceWhy blaming the media—and the audience—always backfires, no matter how famous you areHow losing internal boundaries blurs personal and professional roles, turning even legacy brands into tabloid fodderWant More Behind the Breakdown?

In today's hypercompetitive business landscape, reputation management is your most valuable career asset to develop. As Sabrina Braham, founder of Women's Leadership Success, powerfully states: "Your reputation is constantly changing and evolving, and if you are not managing it, somebody else is." Sabrina Braham MA MFT PCC - Executive Brand Building Expert For female managers, directors, VPs, C-suite executives, and founders, strategic reputation management isn't optional—it's essential for breaking through the barriers that still exist in corporate leadership. Why Your Leadership Reputation Makes or Breaks Your Career Recent studies show that women leaders who actively manage their professional reputations are: 2.3x more likely to be considered for promotion over equally qualified peers 68% more resilient during organizational restructuring and layoffs 4x more likely to be recruited for prestigious positions and board seats As one executive discovered after implementing Braham's reputation management strategies: "I went from being consistently overlooked to being elected to the VP position I'd been seeking for years." The Reputation Management Trap Most Women Leaders Fall Into Many accomplished women make the same critical mistake: they assume excellent work speaks for itself. Unfortunately, research shows this approach leaves your professional narrative in others' hands. The 3 Most Damaging Reputation Pitfalls: Allowing outdated perceptions to persist Failing to strategically communicate your value Missing opportunities to showcase thought leadership These gaps don't just slow career progression—they can derail it entirely, especially during critical transition points. Strategic Reputation Management: The Leadership Brand Blueprint Approach The Leadership Brand Accelerator Blueprint offers a revolutionary approach to reputation management specifically designed for women leaders. This proven system has helped executives at companies like Google, Daimler, and dozens of Fortune 500 organizations transform their professional trajectories. Transformative Benefits of the Blueprint System: Perception Alignment Eliminate the gap between your capabilities and how decision-makers perceive you. One leader using the system discovered her meeting presence was rated only a "5" when she thought she was performing at a "7" or "8" level—feedback that led to specific improvements and a subsequent promotion. Reputation Resilience Build a reputation strong enough to withstand organizational changes, industry disruption, and career transitions. Leaders using the Blueprint reported 43% greater confidence during challenging periods and received stronger support from key stakeholders. Strategic Visibility Create powerful visibility without self-promotion discomfort. The Blueprint's targeted approach ensures your contributions are recognized by the right people at the right time, using techniques that feel authentic and aligned with your values. Amplified Influence Develop your thought leadership platform both inside and outside your organization. Blueprint users report a 75% increase in being consulted for strategic decisions and a 56% growth in professional network quality. Career Acceleration Most importantly, the Blueprint dramatically shortens the timeline to your next leadership level. While the average executive waits 4.2 years between promotions, Blueprint users report advancing in just 18-24 months. The Quarterly Reputation Audit: Your Leadership Advantage At the core of the Blueprint is a systematic quarterly audit that ensures you're consistently evaluating and refining how you're perceived. Unlike annual reviews or sporadic feedback, this structured approach creates continuous improvement and prevents reputation drift.

Read the transcript and notes for this episode on our website. A high-profile legal battle has erupted in Hollywood involving Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, following allegations of sexual harassment during the production of the film It Ends With Us. Abbie Fink and Dr. Adrian McIntyre talk about the complexities of reputation management in the public relations field, raising ethical concerns around the tactics used by both celebrities and their representatives. They discuss how these cases reflect broader issues in public relations, particularly the manipulation of media narratives and the potential misuse of reputation management strategies to damage opponents. The implications of this case extend beyond the individuals involved, touching on the ethical responsibilities of PR professionals and the impact of public perception on personal and professional lives.Key Takeaways The unfolding legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni raises ethical concerns for public relations practitioners. Public relations can sometimes shift from reputation management to reputation takedown, which is troubling. The tactics used in reputation management can have broader implications beyond celebrity culture, affecting public trust in media narratives. Crisis communication should prioritize the core of the complaint rather than deflecting attention to peripheral lawsuits and media claims. Ethical PR practices should focus on maintaining and elevating client reputations rather than tearing others down.
