OCTOBER FEATURE CLASS: Unpacking the Good Girl

This one becomes a visibility issue when the thing

This one becomes a visibility issue when the thing we've built our expertise in isn't a skill set that's necessarily recognised by the mainstream. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That doesn't mean you can't build a business around your skills. It also doesn't mean that your expertise isn't just as valid as the expertise developed in other areas. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Where I see people going wrong with this is in not clearly understanding the parameters of their expertise and working collaboratively with people who have developed complementary expertise. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are, of course, seeing an epidemic of this kind of behaviour in the midst of the pandemic. People mistaking beliefs for knowledge; ideology for expertise.

So my advice to you is this; understand the limits of your work. Stick within those parameters and be willing to fully occupy that space. Know what you can promise and what you can't. What assurances you can make and what you can't. What people ought to come to you for and what they ought to seek alternate assistance for. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That way you'll always operate from a place of integrity and even better, you'll help to maintain the integrity of your industry.

Nature is not ashamed to be seen. It's not self-co

Nature is not ashamed to be seen. It's not self-conscious. It’s unique and amazingly diverse.
A big old celebration of difference.
Whenever I feel pulled toward doing things in a certain way, because that's what everyone else is doing, I stop and check in. Does this feel aligned to me or does it feel like someone else's path?
If I'm starting to walk on someone else's path, I remind myself that such an approach isn't reflective of the natural way of things. That in fact, nature is modelling for us just how beautiful it is to find a unique form of expression. And so I ask myself a deeper question; what form of expression is being called to reveal itself through me? Then I do that.

When: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- your contribution, your ideas, your work is seen by your boss, or by people in more influential positions than you in your workplace. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- you're seen by a great many potential clients or customers, or by industry leaders, ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
you open doors that are closed to those who remain hidden.

This one really should be called 'How to save yourself years of wasted time and drama'. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The decision to stop and see and embrace the emotions I would have resisted in the past has been one of the most important decisions I've ever made. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It keeps me operating from a state of integrity, with myself and with others. It keeps me truthful and it helps me to stay connected to the things that matter most. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This brings up a classic visibility block; what if

This brings up a classic visibility block; what if I reach more people and they're unkind to me? What if they're not supportive of me? What if they criticise or hate on me?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The first step in overcoming this fear is to get clear on who you're speaking to and who you're not. When you're speaking to the right people - in their language - this becomes less and less of an issue.

Even the most focused individual may have noticed

Even the most focused individual may have noticed their concentrating being affected by the global pandemic. Whilst everyone’s experience of the pandemic has been different, one thing that seems to have impacted us collectively has been a general inability to concentrate. You probably heard this in your own network. The BBC produced this article explaining the work researchers are doing to understand the phenomenon.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
An unhealthy addiction to technology and social media plays a big role in this. Of course, we're fans of both here at the School of Visibility. We greatly value what they offer in terms of connection and reach. BUT we also think these things are only beneficial when used in moderation and with healthy boundaries set around usage. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This week we'll be sharing a guided visualisation with our email subscribers to help you identify which forms of technology you might be attached to in an unhealthy way and help you to unhook from them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you don't yet receive our emails, DM us with your address and we'll be sure you receive the visualisation. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
