Two equally qualified candidates. One got the job, the other didn't. The deciding factor had nothing to do with their resumes or interview answers. What happened in the reception area before the interviews even began revealed everything - and it's probably happening to you right now without you realizing it.
Boosted is the podcast that reveals the unwritten rules of professional success that nobody teaches you in school. Hosted by Trina Boos, founder of Boost Academy of Excellence, this show delivers actionable tips to build your professional presence and advance your career through real workplace scenarios and human stories.
In this episode, Trina shares a story from her recruitment agency days that perfectly captures what Ralph Waldo Emerson said 200 years ago: "What you are shouts so loud in my ears, that I cannot hear what you say." One candidate barely looked up from their phone and curtly dismissed the office manager. The other chatted warmly and acknowledged everyone they passed. Same qualifications. Same interview performance. Completely different character.
Your professional image isn't built in the moments you're consciously crafting it - it's revealed in the moments you don't think anyone's watching. Trina breaks down the Three-Pillar Framework that makes or breaks your professional reputation, including the one pillar most people completely ignore. These unconscious actions are constantly shaping how others perceive your professional value.
This episode is essential for anyone who wants to understand how their unguarded moments are either building or destroying their professional reputation.
