from IMPACT INFLUENCE MENTAL - Le podcast des dirigeants et Codir · host Isabelle Proust - CEO-Cie

Pourquoi être excellent dans son travail ne suffit plus pour progresser dans sa carrière ? Pourquoi certains professionnels compétents restent invisibles, tandis que d’autres accèdent aux promotions et aux rôles clés ?Lorraine K. Lee, auteure de Unforgettable, explique un levier décisif mais largement sous-estimé : la présence (qui va bien plus loin que la présence exécutive).À partir de son propre parcours – performance élevée, ambition claire, mais absence de promotion à un moment où elle l’attendait – elle démontre que la différence ne se joue pas sur les compétences techniques, mais sur la visibilité, la réputation et la capacité à influencer quand on n’est pas dans la pièce.Nous explorons concrètement :ce qu’est réellement la présence au travail (et ce qu’elle n’est pas),pourquoi la réputation précède toujours la promotion,le rôle clé des sponsors dans l’évolution de carrière (et pourquoi ils comptent plus que les mentors),comment développer son influence sans tomber dans l’auto-promotion,les frameworks EPIC et RAVE pour structurer sa visibilité et son impact,et comment les profils introvertis peuvent construire une présence forte, crédible et durable.Un épisode essentiel pour tous ceux qui veulent accélérer leur carrière, renforcer leur influence et bâtir une présence exécutive alignée avec leur rôle et leurs ambitions.Pour contacter Lorraine K.
