TUR007 Accelerate Your Career Through Visibility
If there was one thing you could do to truly accelerate your career, what would it be? Is it networking with powerful thought leaders in your industry? Is it about simply working hard and doing good work to get promoted up the corporate ladder? Is there another solution to drive your success, achieve your goals, and advance your career as an ambitious female leader?
In today’s episode, I explain the difference between visible work and invisible work and how women can accelerate their careers by being more visible. I explain why working hard and doing great work are often not enough for women to advance up the corporate ladder and land the executive roles they desire. I discuss the importance of making a list of the invisible work you do and the value you bring to your company and why it’s important for your personal stakeholders to be aware of this work. I also explain why women need to reframe the concept of visibility as a way to educate others about the value they bring to their organization instead of as self-promotion.
