Is it me?

If you’ve ever sat in a meeting and watched someone else get credit for the thing you thought of three weeks ago – Or gritted your teeth as a quieter colleague got ignored or interrupted.

You’re not alone.

And if your first instinct is to think, “I should have spoken up sooner,” or “I’m just not good at putting myself out there,” or “Nobody listens to me” – you’re definitely not alone.

But here’s the thing. Visibility isn’t necessarily about being the loudest in the room.
It’s about being clear, crisp, and on-point so that people want to listen.

Clear on what you bring.

Clear on your expectations.

Clear on your boundaries

Clear on your deadlines

Clear enough that other people don’t miss what you’re asking.

But too often that clarity is squashed by busyness, deadlines, confusion, points-scoring.

Think about it.

How often have you been asked, ‘does that make sense?’. 

Or how often have you said it yourself? (Everyone nods, but it becomes clear after a while that it doesn’t make sense.)

What’s the cure?

The starting point is simply deciding.

Deciding to get that clarity.

And being so crystal clear that there’s no room for doubt (and even less room for self-doubt)

That’s one of the ways you build quiet confidence from your core.
