#13: Own Your Visibility, Own Your Success

Visibility can make or break your career. If no one sees your impact, do you really have any influence? In this episode of Promoted: Stop Doubting, Start Leading, we dive into why strategic visibility is essential for career growth and leadership success. If you’ve ever thought, “But I’m doing my job well—shouldn’t that be enough?”, this episode is for you.

Learn how to position yourself for opportunities, build influence, and own your narrative—without feeling like you’re self-promoting.

Key Takeaways:

✅ Visibility drives career growth. Promotions, key projects, and leadership roles don’t happen just because you work hard—they happen because the right people know what you bring to the table.

✅ Influence comes from being seen and heard. When you show up in meetings, discussions, and industry events, you establish credibility and authority.

✅ Control your narrative before someone else does. If you don’t shape how people see you, assumptions will be made—and they may not work in your favor.

✅ Visibility doesn’t mean bragging—it means impact. Find natural ways to share your successes, whether through mentorship, speaking engagements, or LinkedIn.

✅ Your network amplifies your visibility. Surround yourself with mentors, allies, and sponsors who will help raise your profile.

"If no one sees those contributions, you're going to struggle to get recognized, to get promoted, to negotiate your salary or your bonus, or even to get invited to the table where key decisions are being made." - Karen Gombault

Visibility isn’t about being the loudest—it’s about being seen by the right people at the right time. Are you making it easy for decision-makers to recognize your value? If not, it’s time to change that.
