Your 7-Day Challenge

0 min read

Transform your visibility this week:

Day 1-2: The Contribution Inventory List 10 valuable things you've done in the past month that few people know about. Identify which ones deserve strategic visibility.

Day 3-4: The Fingerprint Development Choose one aspect of your work to make distinctively yours: - Create a template - Develop a framework - Design a process - Establish a standard

Day 5-6: The Echo Experiment Share one achievement through three different channels: - Mention casually to an influential ally - Include as context in a helpful email - Reference while solving someone's problem

Track how the message spreads without you pushing it.

Day 7: The Credit Investment Publicly acknowledge someone else's contribution to your success. Be specific about their role and your leadership. Watch how giving credit multiplies your own.

Alex tried this challenge: "The echo experiment blew my mind. I mentioned our team's efficiency improvement to my skip-level manager during a coffee run. By Friday, three executives had asked me about it. More visibility from one casual conversation than months of status reports."
