Send us a textIn this episode, Caroline expands the conversation on the career flywheel, turning focus to two critical and often overlooked power moves: Find Your Friends and Be Seen. While many professionals focus on the tangible aspects of work like spotting problems, solving them, and delivering results, careers rarely accelerate without visibility and connection.Caroline explores why hard work alone doesn’t travel, the psychology behind recognition gaps, and how reputation and relationships carry your impact further. Drawing on research from McKinsey, LeanIn.org, and Harvard, she unpacks the hidden dynamics of trust, credibility, and informal influence and offers practical steps to turn quiet effort into visible impact.TAKEAWAYSMost careers don’t stall from lack of skill, but from lack of visibility and connection.Networking isn’t about collecting contacts; it’s about building trust.People can’t value what they can’t see.Women are 43% less likely to be recognised for their ideas, even when contributing equally - a visibility gap, not a capability gap. Many men experience this too, especially those conditioned to believe their work “speaks for itself.”The strongest networks are built on Amplifiers, Anchors, and Challengers - people who mention your name in rooms you’re not in, ground you when doubt hits, and push you to play bigger.Consistent visibility habits (from sharing progress updates to amplifying others) turn effort into evidence and contacts into champions.Quiet credibility becomes unstoppable when it’s seen, shared, and supported.SOUND BITES“Hard work doesn’t travel, reputation does.”“Networking isn’t collecting contacts; it’s curating trust.”“Visibility isn’t vanity. It’s clarity.”“If people can’t see what you bring, they can’t value it.”“Turn effort into evidence, and contacts into champions.”“Quiet brilliance doesn’t get noticed, visible impact does.”RESOURCESWhat's Your Networking Style?
