Quiet Work Doesn’t Win — How to Be Seen, Heard, and Promoted

Ep.48 - In this episode of The Workflow Podcast, Sam and Derek take on a tough truth: in today’s workplace, visibility often matters more than talent alone. They explore why too many high performers stay stuck — not because they lack skill, but because they lack visibility.

The conversation kicks off with a hot take on HR's real role in modern companies, then pivots into a powerful framework for professional growth: how to promote your work without the cringe. They tackle the misconception that humility equals silence, and show how strategic self-promotion, when done right, creates trust, momentum, and opportunity.

This episode introduces the “Comms, Convo, and Prezo” method — a simple, repeatable playbook to make your work seen, your name remembered, and your impact undeniable.

Through stories, frameworks, and battle-tested tactics, Sam and Derek reveal why being too quiet can cost you a raise, a promotion, or even credit for your own work — and what to do instead.

Whether you're early in your career or climbing into leadership, this episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to break out of the background.
