What happens when your impact is real, but the right people still do not see it?
|
Why this session matters
For learning professionals ready for their impact to travel further.This is not about louder self-promotion. It is about connecting contribution, value, and recognition in a way that feels useful and credible. |
Session
The Recognition Gap: How Expertise Becomes VisiblePerhaps you or a colleague were passed over for a prime opportunity despite doing impactful work. Maybe you watched a valuable team member leave because they felt undervalued. If you’re independent, you may wonder why your client list has stalled. Excellent work alone is no longer enough to fuel career momentum. Increasingly, the right people need to recognize the value of your work. This disconnect between your work, its impact, and how others perceive it is the visibility gap. Many learning professionals struggle with this gap. This session offers a different approach to visibility focused on contribution rather than self-promotion. We’ll examine research-based evidence into how visibility operates within organizations and in the field. We’ll explore a clear model to assess your visibility and identify practical ways to stand out by making valuable contributions. |
