Today we're going to be talking about the visibility you need to grow your business…and if you're uncomfortable with visibility, this episode is especially for you! Today I speak with Susan M.

In our illuminating and practical conversation, Susan and I talk about how you can adapt ‘visibility-increasing' techniques and methods to your own personal style (even if you consider yourself an introvert!), how to know if you're actually becoming more visible, and how a good ‘visibility mindset' can help overcome self-sabotage. We also review Susan's helpful 4-step process for building visibility.  Susan M.

Can you believe True Stride is celebrating 100 episodes? Striders, together, we came far in this journey of joy, reflection, and self-awareness. It's amazing to think we spent 100 Wise Walks expanding and growing together.  In this episode, I'm excited to reflect on our experiences over the 100 episodes and talk about lessons learned.  I'm here to spend quality solo time with you for EP100's Wise Walk as we discover our True Stride. Looking back at the conversations from different episodes felt like an archeological experiment. Let's take time to slow down and celebrate. On our Wise Walk, I give you the top 10 lessons that contribute to finding your True Stride. Come with me as we reflect on these Wise Walk questions: Where have you asked for help on something because you don't yet have the self-belief to pursue your goal? Can you celebrate milestones with the people who help you? What's been fulfilling and what's been difficult on your journey? What are you ready to let go of to make more space for things that light you up? Are you slowing down and checking in with your feelings to make sure that you're living your best life according to your Heart Value rules? What do you really want, and how are you getting clear on the steps to get there? When fear starts to arise, do you know that means you have an opportunity to grow? It's okay to use this time to restart or reset. Reflecting on these top 10 lessons can help you reevaluate what you're doing to show up as your authentic self. Your Heart Value is meant to be shared with the world. Drop into your heart and pay attention to your inner compass with these Wise Walk questions: What is one thing you're going to do today to support your vital life force energy and your breath? What talent do you want to exercise, make stronger, or bring to light in a new way? What are you doing to cultivate your authentic presence? How can you follow your heart and create abundance in your life?  What's one action you can take to build financial stability? What does success on your terms look like? What did you learn from your toughest storm? Who stood by you during the storm? What “failures” in your life have become investments in your Value Vault? I am grateful for this Striders' community and all who contributed to the True Stride podcast.

This process is broken down into easy to follow steps in my book, The Visibility Factor, a guide to shape the visibility that you want for yourself and your career.

If you think that working hard is enough to ensure career success, you're missing a big piece of the pie. Susan M. Barber, the author of The Visibility Factor, shares how a pivotal conversation with her mentor opened her eyes to the importance of visibility and changed the trajectory of her career. In this episode we talk about what it means to be visible at work and why it's important, Sue shares the process that worked for her, and we discuss how to embrace visibility in a way that works for you. Later, Kristy and Danielle talk about new research from Journal of Personality and Social Psychology about deep conversation and why we should consider initiating the opposite of small talk, even with strangers.

I am delighted to tell you that I have hit another major milestone in my life that I want to celebrate with you. As you recall, from an earlier episode, I invited a small group of advanced readers to read my book Heart Value, and I got tremendous feedback. I incorporated some of their suggestions, and then I just sent my completed manuscript off to my developmental editor for one more final pass. The other thing that has been so wonderful for me is meeting so many amazing authors in this space. My guest on today's Wise Walk is one of those phenomenal authors Susan M. Barber, and together we are going to talk about ways to increase your visibility. Susan M. Barber, I'm going to call her Sue because we are buds, is a certified executive coach, a consultant, and an author. Her love for people's development and her passion for helping companies solve business challenges is what lights her up; this is her Heart Value. She transforms clients to stand out, receive recognition, and reach their ultimate career goals. Her decision to stop playing small in her life led her to write her book, The Visibility Factor, which will be out in the fall. As we walk together, the questions on our minds are: Where in your life do you feel invisible? What are some choices that you can make right now or down the road to become more visible in the areas that are most important to you? What's one action you are going to take this week to get whatever you want on someone else's radar, or maybe just your own radar? Sue shares how her lack of visibility inspired her to write a book and why helping others step into their power became a passion for her. She believes people discount the importance of being recognized and visible. She shares an example of what happened with a client who decided he wanted to be bold and gain confidence. Sue also discusses different client experiences on her blog. Sue shares some things Striders can do to be in a more visible space. For example, take time to understand your work culture, observe others, and learn how to stand out as the person to solve the problem. Get help from people you trust in the organization, people who are willing to give you feedback, because those are the people who are in meetings with you, the people who can help you see what you are doing and how you can shift it.  Because you can also feel invisible at home, Sue wants everyone to use their voices and share what they feel and what they think about. Keeping that stuff in is just a lot of negative energy, and eventually, it will come out somehow, whether you react to something or physically by getting sick. Once she started talking about what was going on, she says her relationship with her children and husband changed dramatically. Sue, thank you for sharing the stories and your perspective on how visibility has impacted you and all the clients you work with.   In this episode: [00:23] Welcome to the show!

[05:22] What was it about visibility that inspired you to write a book and help others step into their power? [08:10] Sue discounted the importance of being recognized for what she did and feeling visible. [09:25] Sue gives an example from one of her coaching clients. How he wanted to show up made him more confident and changed how people saw him. [12:13] "Ultimately, it's about visibility, creating a different kind of visibility." [12:58] Sue discusses the other emotions or experiences that bring people to her to help them with visibility. [14:29] Sue speaks about a client that gained visibility by getting more involved. [16:07] Sue talks about some questions she asks clients to find out where they want to go next. [17:59] Sue discusses some things that the Striders can do to help them step into a more visible space in their world.

[24:04] Sue talks about how her ah-ha moment and using her voice changed her life at home and in her marriage. [26:21] What is your why, and why do you want to increase visibility? [28:29] Sue, thank you for being on the show!   Memorable Quotes: “I discovered that I was being invisible myself in my corporate job.” Susan M.
