Build Your Personal Visibility System
Price: $99
Duration: 2 hours
Format: Online or In-Person
Stop guessing, convincing others that your are busy, and making promises (willing or unwilling) you can't keep. See YOUR work, YOUR capacity, and YOUR boundaries. And then say yes with confidence.
See it, share it, understand it.
Knowing why invisible work breaks you isn't enough. You need to fix it.
In this hands-on workshop, you'll build YOUR personal visibility system...whether you're an individual contributor, a manager, or a leader. No, one size does not fit all. Your work, your team, what you need to know right now...your reality mattters.
You'll walk out with:
A real board (digital or physical) that actually works for you
Honest understanding of your actual capacity
A system you can implement tonight
Practical boundaries based on reality, not guilt
Patterns you've never seen before
Who Should Attend
Anyone exhausted by invisible commitments
Managers who hate their status meetings
Teams wanting to reduce interruptions
Leaders ready to lead differently
People ready to actually change how they work
