with Alec Pearson, Tiffany Barnard and Nick Sellers.

In this episode, we explore three foundations that shape how you show up at work: your identity, your values, and the reputation others form around you.

Many people move through their careers without ever stopping to ask who they really are — or whether their values still match the environment they’re in. And reputation? That’s created entirely in other people’s minds, often based on behaviour we’re barely aware of.

Alec, Tiffany and Nick unpack how identity forms, why values quietly drive so many of our decisions, and how reputation is shaped through perception, consistency and context.

We also touch on what happens when these three elements fall out of sync — especially during promotions or major career transitions.

In this conversation, we explore:

• Why identity evolves over time

• How values influence what energises or drains us

• What really shapes reputation

• The tension between how we see ourselves and how others see us

• Why stepping into leadership often requires letting go of old habits

If you’ve ever felt misaligned in a role, unsure how others perceive you, or curious about how your values shape your impact, this episode offers a thoughtful starting point.
