How Digital Reputations are Built in the 21st Century - Peter Shafer

Thinking Inside the Box

In today's episode, I chat with Peter Shafer. A collaborative, agile, roll-up-your-sleeves sales, marketing and communications leader known for his compelling stories, bias for results, and passion for developing the talents of people around him. He also works as a professional football referee.
Peter helps organizations grow, whether through sales training, supporting new product launches, or advising on broader innovative initiatives.
Together we discussed digital reputation management at the individual, team and organizational level. The importance of market research in developing and measuring your impact. And how his work as an NFL referee, highlighted by rapid decision-making, managing big personalities on the world's largest stage, and the pressure of making the right call, influences how he sees organizations from the outside looking in.
It's a unique vantage point, and I really enjoyed our discussion. I hope you do, as well.
