In Day 1 of the "Speak Like a Leader" series, we’re diving into why silent excellence—the belief that hard work alone is enough to get noticed—is holding you back. If you’ve ever wondered why others seem to get ahead while you’re stuck doing the heavy lifting, this episode is your wake-up call. I’ll break down the three patterns keeping you invisible: Invisible Excellence Syndrome, The Task-List Trap, and Direct/Matter-of-Fact Communication. You’ll learn why your work isn’t speaking for itself and how to start communicating your value in a way that gets results. By the end of this lesson, you’ll have a clear understanding of: Why doing more isn’t the answer to getting promoted. How to reframe your words to showcase your impact. The mindset shift you need to get recognized and advance. This episode is packed with actionable insights to transform how you show up in your career or side hustle. Ready to change the game?
