101. Embrace Being Uncomfortable Today’s episode is focused on finding the best ways to start to embrace being uncomfortable. Doing things the same way you have always done them isn’t getting you what you want. Pushing yourself out of your comfort zone and getting uncomfortable is critical if you are going to be more visible. I don’t say that to scare you, but to let you know that it is a foundational step towards being seen in a new way. In this episode: My story and the challenge it gave me to be

98. Reframing Your Limiting Beliefs Today’s episode is focused on reframing the way that we think about limiting beliefs. You most likely reframe your thoughts throughout your day without even realizing it. Reframing happens when someone shares a new perspective with you, shares some new information that you weren’t aware of or you learn something new on your own. Once you know this, you think differently, and you believe that limiting thought. Although it keeps you safe, you can’t be visible. You

97. Unlocking Your Patterns Today’s episode is going to focus on patterns. As a coach, I am always keeping a watch out for clients who have patterns of behavior that are unconscious for them. Clients may do something at work and have no idea that they are doing that same thing at home. These patterns operate automatically until someone points it out or you realize that you are doing it. I wanted to dive in on this topic and bring it back to how it ties to visibility for you. In this episode: What

94. Comparison of Bragging vs Visibility Today’s show is about the differences between bragging vs visibility. Bragging is defined as a pompous or boastful statement, arrogant talk or manner by someone. Bragging in the workplace often involves an inflated sense of self-importance and a desire to diminish the contributions of others. Authentic visibility, however, celebrates achievements while acknowledging the contributions of colleagues and expressing gratitude for opportunities and support. Being

93. Leading With Authenticity Today’s show is about leading with authenticity. Being authentic is a major focus in The Visibility Factor book and it is an important value for me. Authentic Leadership comes through when you are transparent about things, have high self-awareness, care about those around you and you can be yourself. It is so much easier to be yourself than to spend your time trying to be somebody else. Creating a leadership brand that is authentic to you and who you want to be requires

90. Should Leaders Be Liked or Respected? Today’s show is about being respected vs being liked. For so many leaders, myself included at one point, I thought being liked was more important than anything, especially once I was leading a team. I see so many leaders that I coach who struggle with what they know they need to do, because there is a risk that they will rock the boat. They are afraid it will upset some people if they make a tough decision or choose a path that is difficult even if it is

87. Visibility Can Be Fun There is a myth that exists that I used to believe for a long time, and I have heard others share with me as well. Visibility is extra work…it’s hard to do…I don’t have time for it. All those thoughts will be true if that is what you believe. However, what if you looked at visibility in a different way? What if you thought about gaining visibility as something that is easy to do…that it doesn’t add extra time and that it could actually be fun and playful? Fun can have a

86. Overcoming Self-Sabotage Today we are going to talk about self-sabotage. Self-sabotage is a common phenomenon that affects many individuals in various aspects of their lives. It is a pattern of behavior where individuals unknowingly undermine their own success or well-being. Believe me, I know that being visible can challenge you to step out of your comfort zone. Even when you know that you should be more visible, there is still the worry of making a mistake or failing that holds you back. Fear
