The Visibility Factor: Break Through Your Fears, Stand in Your Own Power and Become the Authentic Leader You Were Meant to Be Kindle Edition
This was the situation that Susan M. Barber found herself in about ten years ago. She was known as someone who would do what it takes to get the job done. While successful, she eventually reached a point in her career where that was no longer adequate. A pivotal feedback conversation with a mentor was the catalyst that changed everything. She had to shift the long-held belief that working hard was sufficient to have career success and find a new way. Creating visibility wasn’t something that was taught in any of the management classes she had taken as a new leader. She was on a path of discovery to learn what visibility meant in general, but more specifically how she could create it in an authentic way for herself.
Barber created a process that helped her build visibility for herself and her team. As a coach now, when her clients are unable to see how they are hiding from their visibility, she uses that same process to help them unlock their potential and achieve success. She has broken down this process down into easy to follow steps.
Working hard only takes you so far. The truth is you need the kind of visibility that allows people to see your value, capabilities and is authentic to who you are. The Visibility Factor is your guide to shape the visibility that you want for yourself and your career.

In Barber's book, I learned that in order to get ahead, hard work is still important, but without visibility, many of us will remain stuck. She calls it "the visibility factor," and in her book she talks opening about her own challenges with it in her corporate career and the plan she created to become more visible in a way that fit her values and personality. She also shares stories from the clients she coaches on this very topic. Barber gets it, and she also has a practical, proven way to gain the visibility WE deserve. Loved this book!
