from Leading Yourself · host Carolina de Arriba

She owns her worth. She makes her work visible. She shows up, delivers, and has stopped waiting quietly in the background.And she is still not getting where she wants to go.Sound familiar? Then this is the episode you have been waiting for.In Week 3 of the Visibility series, we'll name the third piece of the equation that most high-achievers are missing, the strategic layer that transforms good performance and visible work into real career momentum.It comes down to three things: relationships (who actually knows you, not just what you do), reputation (what people say when you are not in the room, and whether it is moving you forward or keeping you in place), and positioning (being deliberate about where you are going and making sure the right people know it).This is where everything from the last three weeks connects into a picture you can actually act on.In this episode:The three-part visibility equation: worth + visibility + strategyWhy reliable is not always the reputation that gets you to the next levelThe five people whose opinion most shapes your career and how to invest in those relationships intentionallyHow to find out what you are actually known for (and the question most people never ask)Positioning: how to tell the right people where you are going, and why most people never doThree practices, one for each piece, to start this week
