Most brilliant people are invisible... 🫥 You might be a 10/10 technically, but if you're a 3/10 communicator, people will perceive you as a 3/10. That's the harsh reality. Here's what most people get wrong: They expect others to recognise their brilliance automatically. But that's not how it works. If you can't articulate your value in a way that's clear and concise, it's not their responsibility to discover it. It's your responsibility to learn how to shine your light brightly. Your technical skills got you in the door. Your communication skills will get you the promotion. The good news? Communication is a learnable skill. You can improve it with practice and intention.

Let's say for example, you're technically brilliant, you're a 10 out of 10 technically, but you're three out of 10 with your communication skills. Do you think people perceive you to be a 10 out of 10 or a three out of 10? People are technically so amazing at what they do. And they've been hidden away in the back office as a technician. And then bloody Brad always gets the promotion. Damn it, Brad got it again, Brad's not smart as me, Brad is not as good as me, and it's because Brad talks better. He's more visible in the work environment. You really think it often comes down to just how we speak and communicate. Our value, yes. If you can't communicate your value in a way that is clear and concise, it's not their responsibility to see the brilliance that exists within you. It's, I believe, your responsibility to learn how to shine your light brightly.
