Overview
You’re working hard and delivering results. Yet the recognition - the promotions, the opportunities, the seat at the table - isn’t keeping pace. Sound familiar?
The issue usually isn’t your performance. It’s your visibility.
Too many women are waiting for their brilliance to be noticed - when what’s actually happening is that they’re hiding. In this session, our keynote speaker Lauren Paton of Scout + Circle will explore why so many talented women remain under the radar, what’s really holding them back from self-promotion, and how to show up in a way that feels authentic rather than exhausting.
You’ll leave with:
- a clear understanding of why visibility matters, and why it’s not the same as showing off
- powerful mindset shifts to help you get over hurdles and
- practical, immediately applicable strategies to increase your visibility and get recognised for the work you’re already doing
Lauren Paton is the founder of Scout + Circle, a leadership consultancy for women in male-dominated environments.
