Quick note before we dive in: my emails took a long power-nap while I juggled a family health curveball and an intense Elevate launch. I pressed pause on newsletters to manage limited energy, and now I’m back with something that can level-up your career this quarter… Curious? Read on…
The 3 lies that still run (and ruin) women’s careers:
- “Your work should speak for itself.” Spoiler: It doesn’t. Silence is a career tax.
- “Quiet competence beats loud confidence.” Spoiler: Competence unseen is competence undervalued.
- “Wait your turn.” Spoiler: The line doesn’t move unless you do.
I’ve trained 330+ women through my Elevate Leadership Accelerator, the ceiling-breakers share one trait: they swap humility for visibility.
Here’s why I want you to do the same:
1. You were raised to be “humble.” Your career needs you to be seen.
Contrary to what you’ve been taught, visibility isn’t about self-promotion. Visibility is not bragging. It’s leadership.
When you share ideas, celebrate wins, or challenge norms, you create ripple effects that pull other women up with you.
2. Want promotions or better offers? Stop relying on resumés.
Opportunities flow to the visible.
Opportunity is a visibility equation:
- More people who know you → more offers, allies, and raises.
- Invisibility → missed budgets, roles, recognition.
This isn’t just about networking. It’s about strategically positioning yourself as the obvious choice.
3. What happens when you quit waiting for permission
✅ Promotions without ten extra certifications.
✅ You realise “not ready yet” is a lie (you’re already competent enough.)
✅ You become the woman sharing on LinkedIn: “I just negotiated a 30% raise!”
Your career doesn’t need “more experience”.
It needs ruthless visibility + the grit to own your wins while they still feel scary.
Your Rebellion Starts Today:
🔥 Swap “I’m not ready” to “Watch me.”
🔥 Communicate with executive presence in any room
🔥 Treat visibility like oxygen – because polite women don’t make VP.
