723: Create Visibility for Your Work, with Melody Wilding

Melody Wilding: Managing Up

Melody Wilding is an executive and leadership coach for smart, sensitive high-achievers who are tired of getting in their own way. She teaches human behavior at Hunter College and is a regular contributor to Harvard Business Review, Forbes, and Business Insider, who named her one of the “most innovative coaches.” She is the author of Managing Up: How to Get What You Need from the People in Charge*.

Good work speaks for itself. It’s a lie many of us have wished was true, but found that there’s actually much more work involved. In this conversation, Melody and I discuss what really helps in creating more visibility.

Key Points
  • Good work does not speak for itself.
  • Our fear of appearing self-promotional can hinder the visibility conversations that our leaders and team need from us.
  • A story will be told about your work. By having stories that you are ready to tell, you get to shape the narrative.
  • Instead of listing what you’ve done, highlight what you want to be known for.
  • Give visibility to work that is important to your team, puts you in contact with stakeholders, and impacts that bottom line.
  • Always have a 3-step pocket update at the ready. Share a (1) project, (2) detail, and (3) result.
  • Capitalize on casual conversation. Say yes to the right invitations and be the person that keeps the relationship going.
