Why reputationXchange?

As I have recently changed jobs, I thought it appropriate to begin a new blog. I am now the Chief Reputation Strategist at global public relations firm Weber Shandwick.

Naming this blog was not easy but once I thought of "reputationXchange," it felt just right.

Here's my thinking behind reputation(e)Xchange. An Exchange (like the New York Stock Exchange or London Stock Exchange) is a market where securities, options, futures or commodities can be bought and sold. In my world, reputation is its own form of currency. An organization, leader, company or country trades its reputation on the open market for the best talent, partners and investors that it can attract. The entity also uses its reputation to bolster its standing and win support in times of crisis or uncertainty.
