How Visibility Killers can keep you from Accelerating your Career.

Business and career acceleration have become paramount for ambitious professionals in this VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) world. We must acknowledge that visibility is not only about something worthy of being seen, but there is another angle we need to explore in terms of productivity and deliverability.?

Interestingly, superior delivery on your job increases your reputation and visibility. Colleagues, Clients, and your Bosses go as far as giving you a nickname to acknowledge your 'above and beyond' skill set. This makes you more visible and gives credence to your productivity and performance in the organization. When there is high visibility, you project with confidence.

You must be aware of the role visibility killers play in stunting the growth of professionals.

The Fear of Critical Review

The brilliance possed by thought leaders can be a great disservice. You may struggle with criticism because your sensitive ego can’t take the weight of being wrong. You find yourself not showing off your work to avoid the emotional rollercoaster of being criticized.

You should be value focused while serving your audience (customers, clients, colleagues, and bosses) and communicate your expertise with zest. Having a charming personality would make you hardly ignored.

Achieving accelerated growth in your organization is possible with the help of the right strategies and the ability to make yourself visible. Are you having a hard time trying to increase your visibility and performance? I am just a DM away.
