#325 How to increase your visibility at work Apr 04, 2023

Show notes

We can't always rely on our hard work being seen by the people who are important for our development. When we increase our visibility it leads to more awareness of our impact and more opportunities for our career. This week, Helen and Sarah talk about the actions you can take to increase your visibility with authenticity. It's not about doing more work and it's not about being the person who shouts about the loudest. It's more about the simple and consistent things you do so your work is seen, heard and recognised.
