Hallmarks
by Michael Feeley
Your hallmark is what people say and think when they see you as well as how they talk behind your back.
It’s built one choice at a time. Each interaction, each promise kept or broken, each moment you decide who you’re going to be.
You can be known for generosity or stinginess. Reliability or flakiness. Humor or bitterness. Quality or corner-cutting. Trust or distrust.
Here’s the thing: you’re already building your hallmark whether you’re paying attention or not. The question is whether you’re doing it deliberately.
The opposite hallmarks aren’t accidents. They come from the same place—repeated choices that become patterns that become reputation. Someone unreliable didn’t start that way. They made compromises until that became their brand.
Your hallmark isn’t what you claim. It’s what you demonstrate consistently over time. It’s your legacy in real-time.
What do you want yours to be?
