Most people assume hard work speaks for itself. Lorraine Lee knows that's a dangerous mistake.
As the author of Unforgettable Presence and former LinkedIn editor, Lorraine has seen firsthand how talented people get overlooked while less qualified colleagues get promoted - simply because they knew how to make themselves visible.
Today I'm joined by Lorraine to explore why visibility matters more than ever in our distracted workplace, and how to build what she calls "unforgettable presence" without feeling fake or inauthentic.
Her insight? Your manager isn't noticing your great work - not because they don't care, but because they're too busy dealing with their own challenges to spot your contributions.
TALKING POINTS:
- Why the "lottery ticket" approach to career advancement is doomed to fail
- How to build unforgettable presence that goes beyond just showing up in meetings
- Practical frameworks for speaking up when you're put on the spot
- Why introverts actually have advantages in building visibility (and how to use them)
- The difference between being heard and being the loudest person in the room
- How to advocate for yourself without feeling like you're bragging
