Episode notes

Muriel, how have you seen a woman do visibility badly? When have i seen it done bad? What's an example? You cand tell your own story, but i imagine you've worked through this issue with some of your clients. Muriel: The minute it goes wrong, you're like, i'm out. Ight? I shouldn't have. And so thinking about all those components and practising them altogether is what really helps verses just showing up.

There are lots of ways to get visibility at work: give a presentation, speak up in a meeting, have lunch with a senior leader. When done well, in front of people with influence, these actions can lead to a promotion, a raise, or more resources for your team. But research shows there are sound reasons women sometimes decide to not be more visible and instead quietly push forward projects or stay behind the scenes.

In this live episode, recorded at Sixth & I in Washington, DC, we get advice from Muriel Maignan Wilkins on navigating the spotlight, offer managers tips on making visibility easier for women, and take questions from the audience.
