What do they actually say about you the second you leave the room?
Right now, while you’re grinding for the next title, a single sentence is deciding your entire future. And if that sentence is weak, vague, or missing, you’re screwed no matter how many hours you put in.
I’ve seen directors and VPs making half a million a year get quietly erased because the whisper behind their back is “good at execution but not strategic” or “nice guy but not a closer.” That whisper is your real brand. Everything else is noise.
You know yours is broken when:
- The big projects go to someone else
- Your name triggers polite smiles instead of excitement
- You keep getting “valued team member” instead of “obvious next leader”
Fix it with this dead-simple playbook.
Here’s the exact 4-step sequence that rewrites what they say about you in 90 days or less:
- Choose your unbreakable 3-word brand (example: “He ships revenue”)
- Mine your career for the one 45-second story that proves it
- Tell that story every single week to anyone who can move your career
- Tie every win, update, and result back to those three words until people finish the sentence for you
Execute that loop ruthlessly and the whisper changes. Promotions stop being a fight. They become inevitable.
Do it now. Pick your three words tonight and reply to this email with them. I’ll tell you if they’re weak or bulletproof.

P.S. If you’re still hoping hard work alone gets you noticed, wake up. The people who leap levels engineer the exact sentence spoken behind their back. Everyone else stays stuck. Your move.
