If you've ever held back from putting yourself out there or going after being more visible, this episode is for you.My guest today is Antonia Taylor, a PR and comms veteran from the UK who got tired of watching brilliant women stay invisible. So she did something about it. She interviewed eight remarkable women leaders, from corporate executives to entrepreneurs, and turned their stories into a stunning white paper called Being Seen.This week, in Part 1, we share the three areas every woman needs to know about visibility in business and leadership, what it is, why it matters, and how to own it.Next week in Part 2 we're getting into the six new rules of visibility you need to know for the year ahead.In this episode:The visibility paradox, why staying hidden hurts you, but stepping forward can trigger backlash, and how these women broke through anywayWhy five out of eight women Antonia interviewed resisted the term "personal brand" even while actively building oneThe difference between performative visibility and service-based visibility (and why one of them will burn you out)Why your visibility isn't just about you, it's modeling for every woman watching behind you and looking up to youWhy you don't need to post on LinkedIn to have a powerful presence thereThe one tip Antonia gives every woman who wants to start getting visible→ Download Antonia's Being Seen white paper https://www.antoniataylorpr.com/being-seen/→ Connect with Antonia on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/antoniataylor/→ Antonia Taylor on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/antoniataylorpr/→ Antonia Taylor's Substack newsletter https://substack.com/@antoniataylorBECOME THE RECOGNIZED AUTHORITY WITH  MICHELLE B.
