Hi Reader

Have you ever walked out of a meeting thinking, “I should’ve said that”?

Or you did say something…and people did not pay attention. As in, it just didn’t land. There was no reaction or follow-up questions.

But after 5 minutes, someone else says something similar…And suddenly everyone is engaged?

They get the nods, the attention and of course the credit. And you’re left sitting there wondering, “What's going on, and what am I missing?”

You may ignore once, but then it may happen repeatedly. And over time, that starts to mess with you.

Now, if you did not take any action, you hesitate a little more the next time you speak. You overthink before speaking. You start questioning whether you're actually as good as you thought.

But the weird part is...you are actually working hard. You know your stuff cold. And you know you are delivering results, and pretty much doing everything right.

But when opportunities come up…Your name isn’t the first one that comes to mind.

Why is that?

And that's the point I want to make in this email. Ta da...drum rolls please...

That's because.. It's not a performance problem. It's a perception problem.

Read that again. It's. not a performance problem. It's a perception problem.

Because in most workplaces, people don’t just reward value…They reward what they can see, remember, and trust in the moment.

And if that visibility piece is missing. You stay stuck… even when you're ready for more.

Hope that helped clarify a key aspect of career visibility. More to come.. Stay tuned.

If you have questions, or comments please reply to this email. As always, thanks for being awesome!
