The Unwritten Rules of Who Gets Seen at Work

from Awfully Quiet

You don’t get seen at work just by doing great work.You get seen because people understand what you’re doing, remember it, and talk about it when you’re not in the room. Most of us were never taught how that part actually works.In this episode of Awfully Quiet, we get into the unwritten rules of who actually gets seen at work and why visibility has very little to do with extrovert-coded networking tactics.We talk about why good work doesn’t speak for itself, how advocacy actually works (and how to quietly set it up), why visibility is often about who comes to mind rather than who works hardest, and why calm often reads stronger than impressive. We also get into the small shifts that quietly change how your work is perceived.If you’re someone who keeps getting told you’re doing great and to keep doing what you’re doing, this episode is for you.Because your next task isn’t doing more.It’s making these subtle shifts.Chapters00:00 — The Rules Nobody Explains01:09 — Three Quiet Game Changers02:22 — The Team Meeting Mistake03:43 — When Good Work Stops Being Enough05:21 — Easy Over Impressive06:33 — Your Job NowFollow the ShowAWFULLY QUIET (behind the scenes): https://www.instagram.com/awfullyquietpodcast/SUBTLE (tools + scripts): https://www.instagram.com/subtleseries/
