Reach for t’Sky

Season 1, Episode 16: The Devil’s in the Details

Have you ever hit the send button on an email and then immediately realised you’d made a mistake? I have. It’s a stomach-dropping moment, and most of the time, it happens because you’re distracted - already thinking about the next task on your never-ending to-do list. But those mistakes, however small they seem, can be costly.

Attention to detail is one of those skills that’s easy to overlook until you realise its importance. A typo in a report, a miscalculation in a proposal, or a missing attachment can undermine your hard work and damage your professional reputation. The solution? Slow down. Focus. Check and re-check.

I’ve learned that building a reputation for accuracy and precision does wonders for your personal brand. People remember the person who gets it right the first time. It shows that you’re not just ticking boxes - you’re taking pride in your work and respecting the time and trust of those around you.

Attention to detail isn’t about being perfect - it’s about being thorough. By committing to quality in everything you do, you’ll stand out as someone who can be trusted to deliver excellence, no matter the task.
