Stop Chasing Shiny Objects

Trust isn’t built by chasing the latest app or hacking your way to a quick win. IT folks know better than most that systems crumble without a solid foundation. You’re not here to impress with buzzwords or fake charisma. Start with consistency. Show up every day with clear intentions. Deliver what you promise, even when it’s boring. People notice when you’re the one who doesn’t flake. Over time, that reliability compounds into something nobody can ignore. Don’t expect overnight miracles. Trust is a slow burn, and you’re playing the long game.

Own Your Expertise Without Apologizing

You’ve spent years debugging code, untangling networks, or wrestling with servers. That’s not trivial, so stop acting like it is. Share what you know without drowning people in jargon. Write a blog post. Record a quick video. Answer a question on a forum. Every time you solve a problem publicly, you’re planting a flag. Nobody trusts a know-it-all, but they’ll line up for someone who’s real and useful. The trick is to teach without preaching. Your knowledge is your currency, so spend it wisely.

Connect Without Selling Your Soul

Networking isn’t about slimy handshakes or spamming LinkedIn with connection requests. It’s about finding your people and giving them a reason to care. Comment on posts with actual insights, not just emojis. Join conversations where you can add value, not noise. Trust scales when you’re a human, not a robot. Be the one who listens, then responds with something worth hearing. Over time, those small interactions snowball into relationships that open doors. You don’t need a million followers, just a few who’d vouch for you.
