Are You Creating The Life and Career That You Want?

create the life you want

Leadership doesn’t come naturally for everyone. What is fascinating though is that it isn’t because they aren’t good leaders. It is because they don’t believe that they are good leaders. The critic in their heads can get in the way and it tells them that they aren’t good enough.  This happened to me and now I can see how so many other leaders do the same thing and hold themselves back. Everyone around them can see how great they are doing, but…

The Visibility Factor Book Has Launched Today!

Publishing a book seemed like a dream to me five years ago. I didn’t know the first thing at that point about how to write a book or how to publish it. I had the good fortune to be introduced to AJ Harper and Laura Stone in the Top 3 Book Workshop and as they the rest is history! The community that AJ has built and the process that she takes you through is exactly what all would-be authors need for success.  The Visibility Factor would not exist…

My Top Three Lessons of Becoming More Visible

Launching a book requires visibility. I thought I would share my top three observations and lessons with you from the last month, I hope they help you think about your own visibility in a new way.  1. When you share information on social media about what you are doing, people actually get to see what you are doing! It isn’t bragging. In two of my posts, I shared that I spoke at two women’s groups. I talked about the groups that I…

What Does It Take To Be Visible?

I have been reflecting on what it takes to be more visible. How have I become comfortable with being uncomfortable? There isn’t one thing that I can point to that helped me the most. I know that it began with the intentional way that I showed up in person and on social media, even when no one was watching. I was vulnerable and shared my stories. I connected with people who had similar experiences and helped them see what possibilities they…

It’s Time For You To Play to Win!

Leaders who take on a higher role don’t always recognize that they need to show up differently and in a bigger way. It wasn’t something that I realized until a mentor gave me feedback. So what does it take to change who you are and become bigger in your role? This is the time for you to play to win, not play to lose.  The first step is to be aware of how you show up currently. Ask for feedback…

An Easy Way to Ask For Feedback on Your Visibility

“What do you mean I need to be more visible?” That is what many leaders have heard from the managers and they are shocked. Why? They believe that they are doing a lot now and aren’t sure what it means to do even more. I thought the same until a mentor sat me down and told me it wasn’t enough. It definitely surprised me and I wasn’t prepared to hear that feedback. I wondered how I had missed the clues…

Do Things That Are Different to Stand Out!

Are you following along with the crowd? Do you do what everyone else does? If you want to stand out, you have to do the opposite of what others are doing instead. What could you do that plays to your strengths and allows your management to see you in a new way?  One of my clients was tired of being in the shadows all the time and wanted to find some ways that she could do more to stand out. She…

Are You Ready to Help New Leaders Succeed?

Think back to the first time you led a team. It may be quite a few years ago now, but can you remember how it felt? For me, I was full of excitement and loved the idea of leading a team. A new opportunity like this doesn’t come along every day and I didn’t want to lose it. I had done so much to prove myself and this was my chance to show my leadership team that I could do…

Change Will Always Happen, But Are You Ready For It?

My whole team walked into the auditorium along with the rest of the company to hear an announcement from our CEO, We assumed that it must be something big because this wasn’t the normal way she would share information with us. She announced that we were going to split our company into two companies. In that moment, my head started spinning. What would that mean for everyone? Which company would I end up going to and where would my team go?…

Are You Ready to Master Your Visibility?

I have had some people ask me about the book writing/publishing process and how it works. It has been a four-year journey for me to get to this point with The Visibility Factor book that I wrote. It took me a while to get things organized (thank you to AJ my developmental book editor) and figure out what I wanted to include in the book that would help people the most. I had to become more vulnerable and go through the situations…
