Your Next Move Podcast

111: Visibility Isn't the Goal. Influence Is.


Listen Later

If you've been chasing visibility—posting more, showing up more, saying yes to every panel and networking invite—but you're still not seeing the kind of traction you want in your career, this episode is for you. Kimberly breaks down the difference between being visible and being influential—and why one will move your career forward while the other might leave you stuck.

What You'll Learn in this Episode:
  • The key differences between visibility and influence
  • Why visibility alone won't lead to promotions or stretch opportunities
  • What strategic visibility looks like in action
  • How to become more influential inside your organization and industry
  • The three traits that build lasting influence: consistency, clarity, and courage
Coaching Reflection Questions:
  • Where in your career are you showing up just to be seen?
  • What do you want to be known for?
  • Who actually needs to see you and why?
  • What actions do you want your visibility to drive?
