Partial transcript:

You've noticed how other leaders who are more visible seem to be a magnet for new opportunities. And you want to have that effect, but you're skeptical. You ask yourself.

Will it work for me? I'm not good at networking. How can I achieve this? It looks like that leader is reaping success, but is their visibility really impacting the bottom line? Is it worth it?

And you're right to ask those questions because the last thing you want to do is to be turning up everywhere online and offline just to be seen. You only have so much time, energy and money, and you have to make those resources count towards the bottom line.

This is what we address in my three-month one-on-one coaching program for women entrepreneurs, creatives, and consultants called Rooted and Ready. It gives you a pathway to become more visible, more strategically and without the overwhelm.

So now let's talk about what really counts. Visibility that converts into credibility and authority produces the most high-value opportunities of all.

This isn't about being everywhere. It is about being known for something, a central theme or a set of themes behind what you do, how you do it, who you do it for and why you do it. An area of expertise and ability that you can prove, highlight and share thoughts on repeatedly over time.

This is where thought leadership comes in. It is a visibility strategy that builds authority in your area of expertise by offering valuable insights consistently over time. And you can do this by sharing video content, producing a podcast, writing articles, leading workshops or webinars, or writing books. You choose.

Suppose you are an environmental professional and a founder with a specialty in climate change and your market is very saturated. You are one of many businesses who offer these services. First, determine what else you and your team bring to the table that would make you distinctive.

Let's say you have a knack for connecting professionals across sectors to improve collaboration or to simplify all those technical climate change concepts for diverse audiences. Or maybe your team is multicultural and multilingual. These are powerful differentiators to be associated with your name. They also provide an opportunity to build authority on key ideas, differentiating you even further. For example,

You could cover themes like the real human impacts behind the technical terms or managing climate risks in different cultural contexts or creating connections for meaningful climate action.

That right there is your framework for producing content over time, for building authority over time.
