::: 7 Way's we harm our Visibility & How to Stop it - Part 6 :::

It was once said that, your reputation is the thing that's left in the room, long after you leave!

On my own visibility journey spanning nearly 20 years, I’ve raised my profile professionally, increased my income (tripling it to be exact) and become known as a visibility specialist, business coaching on this very subject.

Things haven't always been so rosy though, so this is why I share this with you.




Previous, as a manager in the Financial services sector, the organisations IT departments often blocked access to private email providers and social media sites. If they didn't they risked staff spending hours surfing the net and watching the world through Facebook. 

So, imagine that every time you walked past a staff members desk they were absentmindedly surfing the net, while you're paying them to work? 

Why oh why then spend so much of your day, checking Facebook, tweeting, and pinning pictures on Pinterest?

Spending hours on the web is just as applicable to how we ruin our reputation as is it when you realise as a manager that your newest team member is losing valuable time. As a person in business our focus is one of our top tools, if you abuse it you lose it

So you see a person who, to you, is influential. 

Before you know it you're focussing all of your attention on them, hanging on to their every word, or pushing your business and business card onto them! 

You've forgotten something! There are lots of other people in the room who want to get to know you too! They may even be potential clients, collaborators or JV partners!

In my corporate years, I saw many employee's presume that there was only one person worth 'sucking up' to and they ignored, bypassed and sometimes inadvertently offended the very person they wanted to impress... At business events and seminars, I've watched people clammer be ignored, looked over and told "well, my services aren't for you anyway!" ...and how do you know?

My point here is please don't Network, only when you think it matters, in my dealing with a CEO, I once took time to chat with his PA while I waited for our appointment. 2 months later she hired me as her personal coach. Or there's the Beverly Hills Hairdresser who during my hair straightening took my business card. At the end of our appointment she casually mentions that Sharon Osbourne also has her hair done at that salon! Can you imagine what could happen if I came up in their next conversation?

It's all about connecting and people you meet always know someone who might just need what you offer!

Next time you're networking and connecting, why not make a beeline for the person who's on their own looking for someone to talk to.

~ Transparency WARNING a candid confession this week ~




Drinking too much at the Christmas party or afterwork drinks! You know, at every Christmas party there's always 1 person who takes it a tad too far?

Well, is this you? 

Trust me a very long time ago, nearly 2 decades to be precise! I've went there it was the first & last time I drank too much at my Christmas party! (I had my reasons), but let's just say that I NEVER wanted to repeat that lesson. 

What I learned was that your credibility, reputation and career progression can be seriously marred when you push things too far. My employers at that time were rather forgiving, and quickly moved on… however that night still haunts me! 

If you meet for drinks after work or at lunch time there are still lines which can be staggered across - seriously, stick to just one or a soft drink and keep your professional reputation in tact. Don't be visible for something you'll regret or even lose a job or a piece of work for.

::: [Speaking] - So what stops you? :::

At the time of filming & writing this I was Still in Las Vegas attending the Lisa Sasevich Speak to Sell event. 

Many people at the event voiced their concerns about public speaking and what stops them. 

This is something many of my clients come to me to talk about (and something I love helping them with too). 

So my question is this, you're offered a speaking opportunity which you'd love to do but fear kicks in, so what stops you

Ever got the impression that someone feels like they're owed it? Without saying what the 'it' is, we've probably experienced someone who's given off a bad attitude. 

Do a selfie little experiment! 

Notice when these feelings come up for you and observe what's behind it, what started that feeling and what this is highlighting for you? If you're seeing this in team members or those close to you, just ask YOURSELF (not them) this question; 

What would be going on in my life for me, to have me feel like that?

... And that bad attitude...Let's just hope that person is not you, or your client facing member of staff!

::: 2's Company, 3's a Crowd! In Defence of The Power of 3! :::

2's Company, 3's a Crowd! In Defence of The Power of 3!


At my last LIVE event, I shared the importance of "The Power of Three" when demonstrating your expert status. 


You see, 3 in the Visibility VIBE'ing world, connects you to a powerful place where, YOU can sound fabulously credible. 
How visibly credible are you at the moment, really? 
Are you:
1) Able to talk to a group of people at the drop of a hat about your business AND clearly articulate the benefits to your audience? 
2) Do you find when you're at your speaking gigs, people rush up to work with you or buy what you've just offered? 
3) Do you know exactly how to position your expert self when networking, when posting on social media, blogs or videos online and when face to face with your ideal clients? 
If you answered no to any of those questions, then you're not quite where you need to be in the credibility visibility stakes just yet, but that's ok

Here are some nuggets about the Power Of Three:

1. One choice is a restricting 'no choice',  with only Two choices, it's a dilemma. With Three or more choices, you now have some real options and opportunities. This is exactly the same for your audience, listers and viewers when watching and listening to you too!

2. When delivering a message from the stage while speaking, at a workshop or event, the use of three difference spaces not only helps your attendees to understand what you share. It also adds impact, so that you can positively influence them with your message.

They in turn can now take action and it's now likely to be with YOU

3. Giving auditory answers in Three's is the easiest way to break down a subject, in a way, which helps your online & offline audience to understand and digest your words more easily. So that the next time they need help in your area of expertise, it's you they come to. 
 




In London, those who attended the LIVE event were shown in under 30 minutes, the most effective way to answer questions with absolute certainty & credibility. Which in turn raises your visibility. 
They also had time and space to practise it away from the actual camera, interviewer and audience. This technique is really valuable anytime you're answering questions virtually anywhere PLUS impactful when speaking live too. 
Imagine what you could do, if you had:

- 6 hours, 
- a full day                                   or even
- 3 days 

To raise your visibility, so that more of the people you want to work with could actually find you, see you & work with you? 


This blog post is sponsored by the number 3...

OK, that was a little bit 'Sesame Street' but I'm all for making your Visibility VIBE easy.  

So please share with your peers, colleagues & friends. 

See you soon

In his book "A Complaint Free World: The 21-day challenge that will change your life " Will Bowen encourages readers to wear a band which they transfer from left to right wrist every time they hear themselves complaining.

The goal is to wear it for 30 days straight without transferring it.

I'd like to create one for business professionals called, "the no bitching rule!" That includes those seemingly harmless comments framed as observations where the sum purpose is to make another person look inadequate, incompetent or 'in-credible'

Day 1 starts now!

Take a few moments each day to notice how you get on!
