Communicate to Lead
165. Make Your Value Visible When Your Job Feels Unstable
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Layoffs. Restructuring. Industry-wide uncertainty. And your instinct as a high-performing woman leader is the same one you have always trusted: do more, say yes to more, work longer hours.
That instinct is the one thing guaranteed to make you less visible at the exact moment visibility matters most.
In this Monday Momentum episode of Communicate to Lead, Kele Belton shares the one strategy women leaders can use this week to step out of survival mode and back into the strategic seat. It is called the 90-Day Achievement Inventory. It takes ten minutes. Because working harder in silence is not a strategy. It is a hiding place.
What You Will Learn:
- Why the instinct to do more in uncertain seasons makes high-performing women less visible, not more.
- The 90-Day Achievement Inventory: a ten-minute exercise that turns invisible work into visible leadership.
- Three questions to answer this week to claim your impact in language decision-makers can hear.
Your Action Step:
Set a ten-minute timer today. Answer these three questions in writing. Do not edit. Do not minimize.
1. What results have I delivered in the last 90 days?
2. Who benefited from that work?
3. If my team described my impact over the last 90 days, what would they say?
Then take one of those achievements and share it in your next one-on-one or team meeting. Not as a brag, but as a status update from a leader who is clear about where she is adding value.
