About this lesson
Sometime this week, in a room your child was nowhere near, their name came up. Only their reputation represented them. A name behaves like capital: it compounds, it transfers when people vouch, and it builds in years and burns in minutes.
What you’ll learn
- Your name arrives before you do.
- Pause before you speak: are you promising, or hoping?
- Repair fast, full, and without excuses.
- Ordinary reliability is extraordinary at fifteen.
