308 I How To Be More Visible As An Introvert

In this episode, I’m speaking directly to the introverts and the “just let me do my good work” professionals who feel resistant to the whole “be everywhere, build your personal brand, post every day” narrative.

Visibility is important for career progression, whether you want to move up internally or explore opportunities externally. But being visible doesn’t mean becoming someone you’re not.

I break down how to approach visibility in a way that feels aligned, strategic, and sustainable, especially if you don’t naturally enjoy being in the spotlight. 

I share the three-step framework I use with my coaching clients to help them build visibility without compromising their personality or values.

If you’ve ever been passed up for opportunities and wondered why less experienced people seem to get ahead, this episode will give you clarity and a practical way forward.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why visibility is required for career progression (even if you’re brilliant at what you do)
• The difference between being everywhere and being strategic
• The 3-step visibility framework: Who, How, When
• Why people promote based on perceived potential and how to influence that perception

Action Steps:

1. Identify Your “Who.”
   Ask yourself: Who specifically needs to see me and understand my value?
   A hiring manager? A senior leader? A decision-maker in your industry? Get clear.
2. Choose Your Method.
   Decide how you will raise your visibility with intention.
   This might look like speaking up once in key meetings, booking strategic coffee chats, supporting a senior leader’s project, or attending a targeted event.
3. Set Your Cadence.
   Visibility doesn’t mean constant noise. It means consistency.
   Choose a rhythm that works for you; monthly or quarterly and commit to more than one touchpoint.

If this episode resonated with you and you’re ready to build a visibility strategy that feels aligned to who you are that’s exactly what we work on inside my one-to-one coaching.

Once we’re clear on where you want to go, we design the right visibility plan to get you seen by the right people without forcing you to become someone you’re not.
