Most people think hard work naturally creates opportunity. But creating value and being exposed to opportunities are two different things.

In the third episode of the Ethical Career Hacking series, Joe Kwon, The Connection Counselor explores the idea of increasing your professional “surface area”—creating more opportunities for the right people to encounter, understand, and remember your work.

You’ll learn:

• Why staying in your lane can unintentionally limit your career
• Why having only one person who knows your work makes your career more fragile
• How teaching, mentoring, writing, presenting, and cross-functional work can expand your professional reach
• Why visibility isn’t about ego or self-promotion

The goal isn’t to become the loudest person in the room. It’s to create more opportunities for your work to intersect with the people and situations where it can make a difference.
