Performance is important, but it’s not enough. As Harvey Coleman explained, career growth depends on three factors: 🔹 Performance  – What you deliver  🔹 Image  – How you’re perceived  🔹 Exposure  – Who knows your work Most professionals overinvest in the first and ignore the last two. Visibility isn’t luck. It’s strategy. Communication isn’t a distraction from your work, it’s part of it. When you share your work with clarity and humility, you help others connect your contr

During my session on visibility, I saw once again how many talented professionals rely on others to notice their good work.  They deliver. They care. But they stay invisible. Visibility isn’t luck, and it’s not self-promotion either.  It’s the ability to connect what you do to what matters for others — to make your value easy to understand and hard to forget. As I shared during the session, Harvey Coleman’s PIE model  explains why this happens so often.  Your success depends

Don’t wait for your manager to remember your results, help them see them. Here’s a simple structure that works:  Results  – What concrete outcomes did you deliver?  Impact  – How did they benefit the team or business?  Learning  – What did you grow or improve through it?

Hier j’ai animé un workshop en entreprise devant 30 personnes et c’est toujours enthousiasmant de voir les participants passer du malaise à la fierté. Ils ont découvert qu’en partageant l

In my recent session on Trust for Mentors,  I asked participants a simple question:  “What makes you trust someone at work?” The answers came fast — consistency, empathy, honesty.  Then came the silence that matters:  “How do others know they can trust you ?” Trust begins with small, repeated choices — listening before judging, following through on promises, speaking truthfully even when it’s uncomfortable. And here’s the paradox: the more we focus on protecting our image, th

Last week, during my webinar “The 7 Sins of Career Networking,”  we explored what makes networking feel uncomfortable — and what turns it into genuine visibility. The biggest “sins” weren’t about technique.  They were about mindset:  ❌ Believing we can succeed alone.  ❌ Thinking we have nothing to offer.  ❌ Talking only when we need something. What struck participants most was the moment they realized that visibility doesn’t come from visibility tactics — it comes from genero
