On this episode of the Strong By Design Podcast, Jared and John discuss the 5 C’s of credibility. How are we valued as ‘credible’ in a space of leadership? Is this an area that we can develop?
The reality is, in order to be an effective leader, you have to be able to shape your credibility with those around you. Listen today as John gives insight into what this can look like practically for you.

“It takes a long time to build up a good credibility balance. It can take a few poorly taken, poorly thought out steps to wipe out lots and lots of your credibility balance.” – John Streitmatter
