How to raise your profile whilst working remotely.
How to raise your profile whilst working remotely.
With the majority of people working remotely right now due to the impact of Covid19 your visibility plans are out of the window. However you might feel, one thing that is for sure being visible is still, if not more, important than it was before Covid19.
There are spaces to join my 12 month 1-1 No More Hiding Coaching Programme in July - Kathryn has been a part of it for the last 6 months:
"I've been working with Gemma since the start of the year We have formal sessions once a month to talk through problems, set goals, make plans, and understand some of the things that are holding me back. In between these sessions we're also in regular contact through Facebook and Voxer to help keep me accountable, making sure I'm focusing on the right things, the things that will get me to where I want to be, which for me are often the things that I don't do. Not with Gemma around, she's a bit like the good angel sitting on my shoulder, whispering in my ear to be more visible. I definitely wouldn't have achieved the things I have this year without her coaching and this programme" (Kathryn Wellum Kent June 2020)
If you are ambitious and want that next level don't put it off. Being visible is ultimately about building the RIGHT relationships and connections. This is the absolute cornerstone to career progression and business development.
So whether you think this is important or not let me tell you that giving some thought to building your own self promotion strategy is crucial to getting ahead. And the other brilliant thing about this, is that feeling of having some control over what's happening right now.
We chat about the different types of personalities when it comes to being visible:
> ABI the AVOIDER
> CATHY the CHATTERBOX
> DEBBIE the DRAINER
> PIPPA the PLEASER
You might not relate to any of these or you might notice a mixture depending on how you feel that day. The point is that we can sometimes feel like we ARE being visible and doing it right - but the WAY you get noticed is just as important as being visible in the first place.
I also share some ways you can still network, raise your profile and build important connections whilst working remotely.
- Ditch the pressure to impress others.
- Be more visible online.
- Follow up.
- Email signature.
- Focus on what you are passionate about.
- Mini stories in your back pocket.
I would love to know if you have a go at any of these strategies we have chatted about - drop me an email and let me know gemma@gemmastow.com I really do love an action taker!
The thing is that ultimately when it comes to raising your profile the key is to see how you can help others first, as Michelle Obama said “Success isn't about how much money you make, it’s about the difference you make in other people's lives”
“Don't be afraid to re connect with people you haven't been in touch with recently”
“I often say to clients to see LinkedIn as an event you are attending - who do you really want to connect with?”
“Remember all connections and relationships are valuable. You never know who knows who.”
“Being visible is ultimately about building the RIGHT relationships and connections. This is the absolute cornerstone to career progression and business development.”
