Introvert Career Diaries: Visibility—Making Your Mark in Your Own Way
APPLE PODCAST | SPOTIFY | ALL OTHER PLATFORMS
Hello, and welcome back! Today’s segment of “The Introvert Career Diaries” focuses on visibility.
If you missed part 1, you can listen to it here.
For many of my fellow introverts, the concept of visibility can be daunting, often associated with self-promotion and being in the spotlight. However, workplace visibility doesn’t always require you to be the center of attention. It’s more about positioning yourself as an active participant and contributing in meaningful ways.
Be Present and Involved
Simply showing up to meetings prepared and ready to contribute can significantly enhance your visibility. Being an active participant helps you integrate into the team and ensures your presence is felt.
Engage in Thoughtful Dialogue
Asking questions that prompt deeper thinking can show your engagement and insight. This demonstrates your understanding of the topic and encourages others to explore new perspectives. For example, in a meeting about employee engagement, asking, “What are the specific challenges our employees are facing that are affecting their engagement?” can shift the focus to more meaningful discussions.
Share Suggestions that Build on Others’ Ideas
Actively listening and building on what others have said positions you as a collaborator who enhances the team’s ideas. Acknowledging and summarizing colleagues’ points can foster consensus and clarity, ensuring the team moves forward cohesively.
By incorporating these suggestions, you can elevate your presence in an authentic and comfortable way. Remember, visibility is not about changing who you are; it’s about showcasing your unique strengths in a way that aligns with your personality.
