How to Be Seen Through the Slop

THE PROBLEM

You're the glue holding the place together. But "Glue" isn't on the org chart, so you don't get promoted. And you don't get paid for the messes you prevent.

THE CHEAT CODE

Visibility isn't bragging it's self-defense.
Decide what deserves recognition:

Does sharing it reduce drama?
Does it move a project or decision?
Does it reinforce your values and impact?

If it hits even one, the win gets shared.

⚡ WHAT TO DO RIGHT NOW

In the box below, identify 1 meaningful win from the last few weeks.
Identify why it matters.
Share a one-sentence update with someone whose awareness matters.
No apologies. No paragraphs. No "just checking in."

THE TRAP

Saying 'It was nothing' when you were actually the reason the whole thing didn't explode.
That's not humility. That's conditioning.

YOUR SHADOW WORK

Sometimes feelings and reactions come from old stories you still carry. Use the space below to reflect on where these patterns began.

Who made you feel that being seen was unsafe?
Who benefits from you staying small?
What narrative do you actually want circulating about you?

THE STRATEGIC TRUTH

If you don't define your value, someone with half your skill and twice your confidence will do it for you AND they'll get the raise!

Write your script

Visibility isn't bragging — it's self-defense.
Decide what deserves recognition:

EXAMPLE:

"Quick win update: I led a recovery that restored performance in under 24 hours, happy to share the playbook if it's helpful."
