How to boost your visibility within your company?

How to boost your visibility within your company? The quality of your work, the quality of your contribution to the success of your team or your company is major in your professional future. But what is also very important is to know if people know you, know what you are doing, know the projects you are working on and can identify your skills, your talents, your potential, to think of you for the next potential other jobs.

Often, conscientious and expert people focus a lot on their tasks, their projects, their contributions and forget to make visible what they do, which means that they miss promotions, mobilities, opportunities to be promoted within the company or simply to work on certain strategic projects. The two pillars of career success are your competence and your contribution. Of course, your quality of cooperation with everyone is also your visibility. So, what can you do to optimize your visibility?

‍

Give visibility to your projects within your company

Remember to regularly show those with whom you work the projects you are working on. You have to know how to pitch on the major achievements you have recently achieved, without arrogance or false modesty. Simply remember to pitch when you are in front of people who are a bit strategic in the company, during a cocktail party, a meeting, a seminar or a project you are working on. Take the opportunity to ask questions, to show interest in the person, to seize opportunities.

Expand your network to develop your visibility

Also consider working on your professional network internally and externally. Professional networking involves people who need to know you and who don't know you and who you should know and don't know. Who are these people who are important for the success of your projects, but also for your next job? Build regular relationships with the people you work with in the company, keep in touch, call people regularly, but keep your network and expand it over time.

Boost your online visibility

The virtual network, like LinkedIn, is a crucial network for managing your visibility and reputation. Know how to post articles, videos, like and comment on important and interesting things related to your expertise. Also, consider expanding your network by accepting people who you think have an interesting network.

Know how to give and exchange

Preserve key moments in your day when you will be able to give and exchange/This also affects, of course, your visibility and your reputation. Sometimes think about writing articles, offering courses at your school, mentoring young men or women who want to enter your professional field, they will always be grateful for giving them advice or a helping hand.

Talk about your ambition to boost your visibility

Visibility is also about sharing your ambitions and aspirations. The people in your company need to know how you plan for the next steps in your professional career, even if it's still a bit unclear for you. It is essential that you know how to say where you see yourself in the years to come. When you project yourself, you show that you have ambition, that you think about your professional project and that you know where you are going.

It's very important to think about it regularly in such a way that people in your company don't say that you don't have ambition and that you don't know what you want, don't let people decide for you.

Make visible what already exists

Working on your visibility is not doing false marketing, it is not making false advertising about yourself, it is really trying to make visible what is there: your talents, your skills, your specificity... What makes you unique and that you bring very interesting things to your team or to your business? Remember that no one is going to try to get to know you in particular. There is a lot of competition around you.

Boosting your visibility can be worked on and is a skill that can be acquired. In particular thanks to professional coaching. Knowing yourself better will allow you to better highlight your qualities.
