About this episode

Many talented learning professionals feel invisible—despite doing incredible work. In this episode, Connie Malamed joins us to explore how to gain visibility by contributing meaningfully to the field. We talk about why visibility matters, how to build credibility without being performative, and the ripple effects of sharing your work. You'll also hear simple, low-pressure ways to raise your profile—whether it's online, inside your organization, or across the L&D field.

We break down common barriers like imposter feelings, lack of know-how, and the misconception that visibility is ego-driven. Connie shares practical strategies and ideas—like trying a 30-day visibility experiment or collaborating with peers to take the pressure off—plus plenty of ways to share your work with clarity, intention, and real impact.
