Reputation Design: What People Say About You
Your reputation is being written daily.
With or without your input.
Take deliberate charge of what people say about you when you leave the room, and turn scattered impressions into a reputation that recruits for you.
What people say about you will become deliberate
- Audit your current image — discover what clients and peers actually say about you now
- Define the desired story — decide precisely what you want repeated in your absence
- Engineer memorable moments — create experiences people cannot help talking about afterward
- Repair damaged perceptions — recover from missteps that would otherwise follow you around
- Recruit reputation carriers — equip your champions to spread your story accurately
- Compound goodwill yearly — let every project add another layer to your name

If you see yourself here, start today.
A few hours from now, you could already see differently.
I discovered by accident that a past client described my studio as expensive and slow, and it shook me. Reputation, this course argues, is designable, through deliberate touchpoints, closing rituals, and the stories you equip people to retell. We redesigned our project handover experience around that idea, and the language in our recent referrals has changed almost word for word.

Answered simply.
Can reputation really be designed, or does it just happen?
It's happening to you either way — the question is whether you steer it. This course treats reputation as a designable system: inputs, touchpoints and outcomes.
How is this different from personal branding?
Branding is what you broadcast; reputation is what others repeat. This course works on the second — the conversations about you that happen when you're not there.
Do I need any prior experience?
No. Every course starts from where you are and builds up step by step, in plain language.
Is this software training?
No — software changes yearly. The thinking you learn here lasts a career.
How does it work?
Short video lessons with a small practice task after each. Any device, your pace.
What does membership include?
One membership unlocks every course on RTF Academy — all 450+, nothing sold separately. And you stay in control: cancel anytime in one click, and you will never be charged again.
