Every handshake, hug, and good morning is a tiny deposit into how people will remember you.

Reputation is not built in big moments, it accumulates out of hundreds of two-second interactions nobody records. How you greet people, whether you look up, whether you use their name, all of it adds into a general impression that eventually sets. Each deposit is tiny and the total is real.

Greet people properly this week, by name and with your eyes up. It costs no extra time and it moves the running total.
