How to improve your visibility and value at work

A website’s a place to announce things, isn’t it? And I’ve just done one small thing that’s made a big difference.

Chosen words to shape a message and get clearer about what I do and the benefits I bring to others.

Which leads me to this question and short exercise that you can do to strengthen your profile and raise your visibility to others…

I recently got an email through that made me smile.

Why?

Because it was all about this little character, here 👇

Don’t worry, I still answer to Mica.

And also now to The Communication Skills Wizard®️.

Which I’ve just trademarked.

WOOHOO!

And in my head there’s now a kind of fanfare going on, and that amidst a bonker’s busy year, personally and professionally, I’ve also ticked this off the list.

Kind of feels like I’ve put a “ring on it” and made things more permanent.

Raising your visibility by choosing your words carefully

The words that we use can set our intentions to ourselves and make a statement to our colleagues, our clients, and our stakeholders.

In short they set and manage expectations.

Getting clear on what we do helps anchor us and reminds us of the value we offer and it promotes our brand.

Grab some paper and answer the following questions about the role that you do:

🟡 What skills do you have?
🟡 What services do you offer?
🟡 What problems to you solve?
🟡 How do you make your clients’ lives easier?
🟡 If someone were to introduce you at a work event, how would they describe what you do?
🟡 And what’s your favourite thing about your job?

Answers to these questions start to focus on the value you bring to others.

And if you were to capture that value in a sentence or a phrase what could it be?

Something that you’d be proud to share?

What would your words say?
