    141. How Are You Being Perceived?

    141. How Are You Being Perceived? Today’s episode is about your perception and how that can impact your career opportunities. At a basic level your perception is how people in your organization view your leadership and your work. We used to say all the time that right or wrong, your perception is reality. If you are being viewed in the way that you want, then your perception equals the reality. However, if you are being viewed in a way that is very different than how you want, then you have to ask yourself the following questions: Will the current perception hold me back in my career? Do I want to be seen differently by my management? If the answer is yes to both of those questions, then you will need to do the work to shift how you show up so you can be seen in the way that you want. In this episode: What do you do when you find out your perception isn’t what you thought it was? Are you paying attention to your personal brand? What happens if you don’t manage your perception? What can impact your perception? Perceptions are reality and you need to manage yours. You can change the perception of your personal brand. What inputs you need to create a new perception of your personal brand.

    140. Embracing Your Role as a Leader

    140. Embracing Your Role as a Leader In today’s episode we are going to explore the question, are you embracing your role as a leader? When you step into a leadership role, it is important to be consistent, intentional and have the recognition that it is a continuous learning journey. Your team and your management want you to lead and expect that from you. Sometimes it is just a shift in your own mind that is the biggest change you need to make. Believing that you can do this and experimenting with what works best for you. In this episode: A story about the experience of transitioning into a new leadership role. Challenges that a new leader faces internally about the new role. Taking on a leadership role changes your identity. What shifts does the new identity require you to make? Each transition requires a new level of operating at a higher level as a leader. A client example of someone who is not acting as a leader but couldn’t see it. Ways to embrace your leadership role and see that you are ready.

    139. Relationships Make the Difference

    139. Relationships Make the Difference In this episode, I will be focused on how relationships can make a difference for you as a leader and being known by others. Having strong relationships are beneficial in so many ways, but I don’t think that people always think of their relationships in the way that they should. Having these connections and relationships to lean on is an asset for your professional network and reputation that you need more than you realize. You can’t do it all by yourself and the higher you go, the more important relationships become. In this episode: How relationships in business supported me in my career. The importance of having these relationships to leverage when you need them. A list of ways to consider relationships and the impact they can have for you. What to do if you struggle to build relationships. How to apply the ideas in each of the ways that relationships can help you. Consider creating a plan that will help you create stronger relationships. The Visibility Factor Podcast is brought to you in part by the Amplify You Program.

    138. Are You Maximizing Your Potential?

    138. Are You Maximizing Your Potential? I’ve been thinking a lot about potential lately. I was digging deeper into the question, what are you giving up by not being visible? There are many answers to that question, but here are a few examples: You don’t get the opportunities that you deserve. You are unable to maximize your potential and achieve the career success you want. You don’t have what you want in your personal life either if it is driven by what your professional life could give to you. You want to do more but aren’t sure how to do something to help yourself. What if you asked yourself the question: did I maximize my potential this week? Would your answer change your actions for the next week? In this episode: Why is maximizing your potential important? What if your manager doesn’t see your potential? How to navigate your own career and make your own choices. Do you recognize your own potential? How to lead your team and maximize their potential. Don’t waste your potential and live with regret. The Visibility Factor Podcast is brought to you in part by the Amplify You Program.

    137. Embrace Your Imperfections

    137. Embrace Your Imperfections Today’s episode is focused on how to embrace your imperfections. We have all grown up with programming and messages from our families, teachers, media, society, culture, etc. that tell us what we are “supposed” to do in our lives. Some of these messages may include: get good grades, go to a good school, get a good job, get married, have children, save for retirement, follow the rules, don't talk back, respect your elders, etc. You get the gist of the messages that we have all heard and internalized over many years. These messages, also known as stories, may instill some sort of ideal picture into your head that you have to be perfect and act in a perfect way. Why would someone strive to be perfect? Usually, it is viewed as a way to gain the approval of others. In this episode: Brene Brown’s views on perfectionism. My own experience of trying to be all things to all people, but myself. Are you seeking too much external validation? Choosing imperfection and being unique instead. Common misconceptions of perfectionism. Looking at failure in a positive way instead of only looking at a negative you want to avoid. Resources Mentioned in the Episode: “The Common Misconceptions of Perfectionism” by Amanda Johnson  "Perfectionism is Increasing and That’s Not Good News" by Thomas Curran and Andrew Hill The Visibility Factor Podcast: Episode 56 - Internal vs External Validation The Visibility Factor Podcast is brought to you in part by the Amplify You Program.
