Standards #1: The Line You Refuse to Cross

Everyday Is an Interview

Standards begin with a line.
Not a policy. Not a memo. A line you personally refuse to cross.

That line shows up in how you speak, how you prepare, and how you respond when cutting corners would be easier. It defines what you will tolerate from yourself before it ever applies to anyone else.

Standards are not theoretical. They are practical. They live in everyday decisions. Do you let it slide, or do you address it? Do you rush it, or do it right? Do you stay silent or speak up with professionalism?

Once a line moves, it rarely moves back easily. Lowering a standard, even once, sends a message. Holding the line sends one too.

Professionals understand this. They know that credibility is built by consistency, not convenience. When people trust your standard, they trust your judgment. When they see you compromise it, they remember that too.

Every day is an interview.
Your standards are always on display, especially when you’re under pressure.

“Standards are not what you say you value. They are the lines you refuse to cross.”
