Increasing Your Visibility at Work - 3 Techniques: Don’t just hope Management will recognize everything you are doing or everything you can do. Take more control over your career opportunities and visibility by perfecting three techniques: Giving your B.R.A.N.D. statement, learning to R.I.P. off the mask you’re hiding behind, and using the S.O.A.R. storytelling technique to talk about your accomplishments and tie them what your organization most cares about. This popular offering is great for a motivational keynote address or a full, roll-your-sleeves-up workshop where participants will walk away with solid accomplishment stories, a performance management self-review system, and a powerful branding statement to share with leadership and customers.
