👀 Feel Invisible at Work? 3 Tips for Introverts to Be Recognised! 👀 Visibility at work isn’t about self-promotion - it’s about sharing your contributions meaningfully. Here are three subtle ways to boost your presence: 1. Project Update 📊 After an important task, let your manager know: ""I’ve wrapped up the report; here’s a quick summary."" This simple update builds awareness of your work without drawing too much attention. 2. Offer Help 🤝 If a colleague seems swamped, say, ""I’ve done something similar; would it help if I handled [specific task]?"" This positions you as a proactive, experienced team player. 3. Celebrate Wins 🎉 After fixing an issue, share it: ""I resolved [specific issue]; it should speed things up. I’ll document what worked for next time."" It’s a great way to highlight your problem-solving skills. Bonus Tip: celebrating someone else’s win can bring visibility to both of you! 👉 Which of these approaches have you seen work? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments! 👉 Do you shy away from being more visible at work?
