How to Thrive in High-Visibility Roles

In the last episode, we covered how to position yourself for high-visibility projects. Now that you’re in those roles, how do you show up confidently and make the impact you’re aiming for?

In this latest episode, I share a personal story about navigating a high-stakes presentation.

Spoiler alert: I completely botched the internal review and left others questioning my capabilities.

Listen to see how I turned it around and the lessons I learned.

I also discuss the importance of:

  • High-stakes = high mindset: Stay focused on growth, not judgment, and avoid the shame spiral.

  • High-stakes = high prep: Preparation is critical, but it’s not always about spending hours—sometimes, it’s just about reflecting on what’s important.

  • Building your own safety net: Trust in yourself is your ultimate safety net, allowing you to pivot and respond under pressure.

I’ll guide you through a powerful visualization exercise to experience the difference between forcing yourself to prove something vs. coming from a place of self-trust. You’ll notice how this creates a safety net by shifting your energy and confidence.
