You Don't Have To Be Louder To Be Seen.

Hi there! Welcome to this edition of our newsletter, where we explore how to align your visibility with your strengths and authentic self.  
***

The older I get, the quieter I become. 

Not because I have less to say.

But because I’ve learned when not to speak.
How to read a room. How to listen for what isn’t being said.

How to choose my moments — and my message.

My brand hasn’t diminished. It’s deepened.
It’s more considered. More curated. More aligned.

When new executive clients come to me, they often think building their brand means being everywhere, saying everything, all the time. Louder. More visible. More polished.

Cue the dreaded networking events, daily LinkedIn posts, and awkward small talk that feels anything but “them.”

But here’s the truth: Real humans are in hot demand.

You don’t need to be loud to be credible.
You don’t need to be everywhere to be seen.
You just need the right strategy — one that plays to your strengths and amplifies your presence in ways that feel true to you.

Here’s some real examples of my clients to show you how it can look:

💡 The Man of Mystery
He rarely speaks at events, but when he does, people lean in. He thrives in small, curated groups. He’s known for hosting private dinners where strategic minds gather, brainstorm, and build powerful collaborations. His mystique is his brand — and it works.

💡 The Bloomberg Conqueror
Time-poor but razor-sharp, she says yes when others hesitate.She finesses her message, sharpens her delivery, and shows up with courage. As a result, she’s outpaced peers and bosses alike in media credibility and industry recognition — without burning out.

💡 The 100 Coffee Connoisseur
On a mission to explore her next career step, she set a bold target: 100 coffees with 100 new people in 365 days. Her natural empathy and curiosity made her memorable — and turned her into a sought-after super-connector in her space.

None of them are posting daily on LinkedIn.

None are up at 3am riddled with anxiety about a keynote.

None are forcing themselves into rooms that drain them.

Your brand is not about being more.
It’s about being you — on purpose.

So play to your strengths.
Show up in ways that energise you.
Let your real self be seen — because that’s what makes you unforgettable.

That's all for this week's edition. We hope you found it inspiring and informative. As always, we're eager to hear your thoughts and suggestions. Until next time, keep shaping opportunities and making a difference!

In your corner, 
Janine
