This week’s dilemma:
“Do I really need to network to move forward?”
In this minisode, we respond to a heartfelt letter from Marcus - a thoughtful, introverted team leader who’s spent years focusing on doing great work behind the scenes. But now, as he looks to progress into senior leadership, the same feedback keeps popping up: “You need to be more visible”.
He wants to grow. He wants to lead. But he doesn’t want to become someone he’s not. So how do you build relationships, raise your profile, and step into the spotlight without feeling like you’re faking it?
If the word “networking” makes you shudder, this one’s for you.
