Episode 8: 5 Steps to Repairing and Restoring Your Credibility

Leadership Becomes Her: Simple, Strategic Solutions for Christian Women Who Lead

Hey, friend,

I am continuing with the topic of Credibility, which is a foundational skill of leadership. Last week, I talked about 5 Dead Giveaways that You’re not a Credible Leader, and you might have been shocked to find yourself and something you are doing on that episode and you might be wondering what you can do to fix any mistakes you have been making.

Credibility is when others trust your leadership. You earn credibility by having a strong value system and consistent habits that reflect your value system.

So, Think of credibility as your working reputation. It is what people are saying about you. If you are not intentional about building strong credibility with those you work with and who work for you, you may find yourself unintentionally doing things that are credibility killers.

The good news is that if your actions, your habits have killed your credibility, it CAN be raised from the dead by developing new habits that are actually in line with your value system.

Today, I am going to suggest my blueprint, 5 ways you can repair and restore your credibility, and if you love Jesus, you will recognize that these 5 ways to repair and restore your credibility are in line with his teachings.

Here are a few scriptures to get you started. There are many more.

Self-Reflection: Matt. 7:1-6, Romans 12:2

Humility: Luke 14:11, Luke 18:14, Matt. 18:1-35

Ownership: Matt. 5:23-24

Goal-Setting: Matt. 17:20, Luke 14:28, Heb. 12:1-2, Phil 3:13-14, Phil 4:13

Accountability: Rom. 14:12, Heb. 4:13

I pray this blesses you,
Becky
