3 big ideas
Be visible and still be yourself.
But what does being visible really mean? And how can you be visible and still be yourself? You can do a few key things to ensure you are seen. First, it is important to put yourself out there. Get involved in activities and events that interest you and will allow you to meet new people. Second, don’t be afraid to speak up and share your ideas. Be confident in who you are and what you have to say. And finally, remember that being visible doesn’t mean being someone you’re not. Be true to yourself and stay authentic. People will respect and admire you for it. So go out there and show the world who you are!
E Framework 1.
Impostor syndrome.
Impostor syndrome rises to the surface when someone wants to be good at something and avoid failure. If they can't do it well, then maybe they shouldn't even try. New experiences tend to stir excitement but also self-doubt.

Toby's takeaway
When it comes to being visible, it is important to be true to yourself. There is no use in putting up a front or pretending to be someone you're not. Being genuine and authentic will allow you to build trust and lasting relationships with those around you.
So if you're looking to increase your visibility, make sure you are doing so authentically and from a place of genuine interest. There is no magic pill when it comes to becoming visible. If you want to increase your visibility, you need to be authentic.
I also liked that The Visibility Factor provided actionable tools, relatable stories, and new ideas for creating more visibility.
