Feeling invisible can be exhausting. You know you have something valuable to share, yet the fear of being judged keeps you in the background. You’re not alone. Many of us have been conditioned to blend in, avoid being a tall poppy, and play it safe. But here’s the truth: hiding keeps you invisible, and invisibility never leads to influence, credibility, or opportunity.
So why is standing out so scary? It’s the fear of being noticed when things might go wrong. It’s easier to be part of the crowd where mistakes won’t be seen. But hiding behind your book, your business, or your ideas doesn’t build connection. People connect with you, not your product or your credentials.
Standing out isn’t about shouting louder; it’s about showing up authentically, claiming your space, and saying, “Here I am.” And the good news? You can do it in small, courageous steps.
Start by influencing through your message. Share your stories, your insights, and your lessons. One client of mine dreaded going live on video. We started with just 60 seconds of courage. Now she hosts weekly sessions, connecting with her audience and building credibility effortlessly.
Step up and speak. Every time you speak, whether it’s in a meeting, a networking event, or on stage, you grow your confidence and influence. Speaking isn’t just about words, it’s about being seen as a leader.
Write to be remembered. Blogs, articles, or books let your voice reach people long after the conversation ends. Consistency builds trust, credibility, and authority in your niche.
Use video to connect. Let people see your energy, warmth, and passion. Authenticity beats perfection every time. Even short clips of 60–90 seconds can make you memorable and help your audience feel a connection with you.
Every brave, small step moves you from invisible to influential. You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to show up. Your courage creates visibility. Your visibility builds credibility. And your credibility opens doors.
Remember: 60 seconds of insane courage can change everything.
