You look successful on paper.

Senior title. Strong salary.
Respect inside your company.

But your career is more fragile than it looks.
AI is compressing senior roles.
Restructuring doesn’t care about loyalty.
And your 15–25 years of expertise is invisible outside your employer.

If corporate ended tomorrow, most leaders at your level have:
• No external personal brand
• No consulting or advisory options
• No income diversification
• No real Plan B

That’s not a talent problem.
It’s a career longevity problem.

Career longevity isn’t about staying in one job longer.
It’s about staying relevant, visible, and in demand across decades—
regardless of age, AI disruption, or employer dependency.

That’s where career autonomy comes in.

Career autonomy means:
• Your expertise is portable
• Your reputation exists outside one company
• You have options before you need them
• One corporate decision can’t derail your future

I work with senior corporate leaders (Directors, VPs, C-suite) who:
• Have built impressive careers inside multinationals
• Feel the growing risk of invisibility and replaceability
• Want to protect their income, identity, and legacy
• Need a strategic way to build visibility without harming their corporate role

This is not about quitting your job.
And it’s definitely not about becoming an “online influencer.”

It’s about strategic positioning.

I spent over 15 years inside global corporations, building brands, leading teams, and operating at senior levels.

I’ve seen firsthand how quickly:
• Roles disappear
• Experience gets discounted
• High performers become “too expensive”
• Loyal leaders get caught unprepared

Since then, I’ve worked with 500+ senior professionals to help them:
• Turn corporate experience into visible authority
• Build reputation-safe personal brands
• Create consulting, advisory, and portfolio options
• Design exit strategies on their own terms

Through The Career Autonomy Blueprint™, I help experienced leaders:
• Clarify their next chapter
• Position their expertise for the external market
• Build LinkedIn visibility that attracts opportunities
• Create a strategic safety net before they’re forced to use it

The outcome isn’t noise or vanity metrics.

The outcome is power:
• Options
• Confidence
• Leverage
• Control over your future

If you’re still employed but quietly thinking:
“Something needs to change but I don’t know where to start”
You’re exactly who this work is for.

I might lose friends over this, but:

Staying in one company for 15+ years without building external relevance is career suicide in 2026.

Here’s why I’m willing to bet my reputation on it:

Because loyalty doesn’t protect you anymore.

AI eliminates roles. Restructuring is constant. And the longer you stay invisible in one company, the harder it is to pivot when you’re forced to.

I’m not saying quit your job.

I’m saying build Career Autonomy WHILE you’re employed.

So when the time comes(and it will)you have options.


Do you have options? Or are you hoping loyalty will save you?

If I had to rebuild my career from zero today with $0, this is the first thing I'd do.
(Hint: It's not what you think.)

I wouldn't update my resume.
I wouldn't apply to 100 jobs.I wouldn't network randomly.

I'd spend 30 days building a visible personal brand on LinkedIn.

Because in 2026, your LinkedIn profile IS your resume.
And if you're invisible online, you're invisible to opportunities.

What would you do if you had to start over tomorrow?

Most people ignore “feeling invisible at work.”

They think: “It’s fine. I’m still getting my paycheck.”

But in 6 months, that turns into:

	•	Being passed over for promotions
	•	Being “too expensive” during restructuring
	•	Being eliminated because “no one knows what you do”

Are you ignoring it?

Because the cost of staying invisible is higher than the cost of building visibility.


When was the last time someone outside your company asked for your expertise?

No alternative text description for this image

I track one metric that most people ignore:

“Profile visits from people OUTSIDE your company.”

Here’s how it proves whether Career Autonomy is actually working:

If your profile visits are only from colleagues, you’re building internal visibility. That’s good.

But if your profile visits are from recruiters, industry leaders, and potential clients? You’re building Career Autonomy.

The difference?

Internal visibility keeps you employed.

External visibility gives you options.


Where are your profile visits coming from?

The last ten days fundamentally altered the rhythm of our lives.

The disruptions we are experiencing now remind me of how deeply interconnected we truly are.

My days are usually spent helping leaders find their voice, build their presence, and navigate corporate challenges. 

But this week, the conversations have shifted. 

I have spoken with brilliant professionals who are struggling to focus, leaders who are trying to project strength while quietly managing their own anxieties, and expatriates who are constantly checking their phones for news from home or worrying about the safety of their loved ones.

We often talk about "bringing our whole selves to work," but what does that mean when our whole selves are exhausted, worried, and grieving?

In my 15 years of professional experience, I have learned that true leadership is not about having all the answers or maintaining a facade of invulnerability. 

It is about holding space for the uncomfortable realities. 

It is about acknowledging that it is okay if productivity is not at 100% right now. 

It is about looking at the person across the table (or the screen) and recognizing their humanity before their job title.

The human disruption is what requires our immediate attention. 
We cannot simply "business as usual" our way through this.

To the leaders reading this: 
Your teams are watching how you respond. 

They don't need you to solve the geopolitical crisis. 
They need you to show empathy. 
They need you to offer flexibility. 

They need you to say, "I know this is hard, and I am here to support you."

To the professionals feeling overwhelmed: 
Your silence right now is not a sign of weakness; it is a natural response to trauma and uncertainty. 
But please, do not isolate yourself. 
Reach out to your network, lean on your colleagues, and give yourself the grace to process what is happening.

Resilience does not mean ignoring the pain; it means moving through it together.

Check on your colleagues. 
Be patient with your clients. 

And above all, be kind to yourselves.

Before working together, my client thought the problem was:
"I don't have enough experience."

After one hour, they realized it was actually:
"I don't have enough VISIBILITY."

Here's the shift:
You don't need more experience. 
You need more people to KNOW about your experience.

That's Career Autonomy.

Are you building experience? Or building visibility?

I say "No" to:
•Clients who want quick fixes
•Clients who aren't willing to invest 3 hours/week
•Clients who want me to "do it for them"

Here's why I refuse to take their money:
Because Career Autonomy is a "done-with-you" process, not a "done-for-you" service.

If you're not willing to do the work, no coach can save you.

And why it's better for my actual clients:
Because I only work with people who are committed. 
And that means better results for everyone.

Ask yourself this one question:
"If I lost my job tomorrow, would I have 3 people I could call who would hire me or refer me immediately?"

If the answer is No, you have a gap in your Career Autonomy that needs fixing.

Because Career Autonomy isn't just about visibility.
It's about having a network that creates opportunities for you.

Can you name 3 people right now?

Being the smartest person in the room means nothing if you don't speak up.

If you can't express your idea at the right moment, in the right way it's as if you never had it at all.

In 15 years of corporate marketing and coaching hundreds of professionals, I've seen it over and over: 
the most brilliant people are often the quietest ones.

Open article: Episode #22 — Your Silence Is Not Humility. It's Invisibility. by Bahar Selman,PCC • 4 min read

Episode #22 — Your Silence Is Not Humility. It's Invisibility.

I hear most in my coaching sessions is "uncertainty." in the last 10 days. 

When the macro environment is this unpredictable, it’s natural to feel like you’re losing control over your own career and daily life.

But here is what I remind my clients: 

You cannot control the geopolitical landscape, but you can control your micro-environment.

In times of deep uncertainty, we must anchor ourselves in what we know to be true.

1. Acknowledge the reality
• Toxic positivity helps no one. 
• It is okay to admit that things are difficult and that you are distracted.

2. Focus on the immediate: 
• When the long-term is blurry, shrink your horizon. 
• What can you accomplish today? 
• What does your team need from you in this exact moment?

3.Communicate transparently: 
• If the regional disruptions are impacting your deliverables, say so early. 
• Over-communicate with your stakeholders.

As professionals in the GCC, we are used to a fast-paced, forward-looking environment. 

Pausing feels counterintuitive. 
But right now, pausing to breathe, to reassess, and to support one another is the most strategic move you can make.

How are you and your teams navigating the uncertainty this week?

Managing_Uncertainty_in_Times_of_Crisis.pdf

Most senior leaders in complex organizations are promoted for performance, but left to lead and influence without a playbook.

You’re suddenly:

→ navigating constant change and reorgs
→ influencing people who don’t report to you
→ managing complex team and stakeholder dynamics
→ expected to create clarity in a fog of ambiguity

realizing that what got you here… isn’t working anymore

The pressure is huge when you’re asked to lead through complexity, influence across functions, and still rise to a true executive level.

That’s not your fault.
But it can become your edge, if you build it.

You don’t need another motivational pep talk.
You need a practical system to influence without authority and lead with impact, without losing yourself in the process.

I help high-potential senior leaders in complex organizations:

→ build trust and followership across teams and functions
→ feel fulfilled by how they lead, not just what they deliver
→ influence without authority in matrixed environments
→ simplify their message so decisions move faster
→ lead with more ease, calm, and authenticity

As an executive coach and former Google Global Director, I spent 15 years building and leading teams across Europe, the U.S., and Asia, inside one of the most complex organizations on the planet.

My approach is:

→  practical – grounded in real executive experience, not theory
→  precise – focused on the few moves that actually shift influence
→  people-first – you get to lead as yourself, not as a copy of someone else

I don’t hand out one-size-fits-all advice.

I ask better questions, challenge assumptions, and give you tools and structures that stick, so you can build trust, make decisions, and accelerate your growth.

The result is what I call your Executive Edge — The combination of clarity, relationships, momentum, and authenticity that makes people want to follow you.

If you (or leaders on your team) feel:

→ stuck in complexity
→ underpowered in a matrix
→ you’re just surviving change instead of leading through it…

Let’s talk.

Because influence without authority isn’t a “nice-to-have” anymore.
It’s the real skill of modern leadership.

I was promoted 5 times in 15 years at Google  
Most careers stall for 7 reasons

What you should NOT be doing to be promoted
is equally important to what you should be doing

Having spent 15 years at Google and being a Global Director for the good part of it, gave me a privileged position to see the biggest mistake that people can make. 

So today I'd like to give you this list so you can avoid them and keep accelerating your career. This is true for all levels, witnessed over and over.

1 - Avoiding hard conversations - this is a classic, but it's in first place because it's the biggest mistake that can stall your career: the tendency to retreat into your corner and shy away from "internal politics". In reality, the only way to get stuff done nowadays is by spending time out there and handling the hard conversations that let you negotiate resources, budget, scope of your initiative, gather support for execution, and so on.
 
2- Letting your work speak for itself - Similarly, if you do amazing work, no one is going to know about it unless you tell people. For how great you believe it is (and it probably is), no one is just sitting there looking at what you do. You need to take charge of the narrative of your work.
 
3- Ignoring your boss’s objectives - you want to be the most helpful possible to your boss. The quicker you understand what's important for them, the more effectively you can help them achieve their objectives. That will earn you trust.
 
4- Chasing the latest shiny thing - like in social media, there are trends in corporate. The latest shiny project that would award you visibility. I am not saying there is no place for those, but I need to avoid just jumping from one shiny thing to another. Senior leaders' ability is to build for the long run, and that certainly takes time. 
 
5- Staying in executor mode - great executors get praised, but they don't get into the rooms that matter. If you are known only for your delivery, you are doing yourself a disservice. Spend more time on strategic thinking, scenario planning, and opportunity creation. 
 
6- Building relationships only when you need them - as they say, don't knock at your neighbour's door for the first time when your house is on fire. Take the time to build a genuine relationship when you don't need it.
 
7 - Confusing visibility with influence - People refrain from "showing their work," thinking it's an empty exercise of PR. You can present in every forum, lead every deck, and still not influence a single decision. Influence is when your thinking shapes direction, people trust your judgment, and outcomes improve even when you’re not in the room.

Making You the Obvious Choice | Executive Influence coaching for senior corporate leaders | ex-Google Global Director

I spent 15 years inside Google.  
Here’s what actually gets senior leaders promoted.

Executive roles are very hard to come by these days, as orgs are flatter, more "agile" and smaller overall.

There's one key question I used to ask in those rooms at Google to make sure we'd pick the right person for the next executive role.

"Did their organization achieve this because of them, or despite them?"

When you are leading multiple functions and a fairly large org, and you are a manager or managers, it needs to be very clear that something you did affected your organization's results.

Here are the three dimensions you should consider:

Decisions: What decisions specifically did you make that changed the course of things for the better? New directions, new initiatives, new business, this can be a clear personal mark if you made it happen.

Operating model: What did you change in the way people work together, from a process and operational point of view? This typically brings efficiency, cost savings, job satisfaction, and talent retention.

People and culture: Did you promote the right people? Did you manage performance appropriately? Are you communicating well enough, and are you promoting a culture of psychological safety? What people say about you is your reputation at scale. 

Do a mini-audit today using these questions and see if you can directly tie your actions to your team's impact.

P.S. In which area do you feel you had the most impact?

As a Global Director at Google, I studied top performers. 
One trait separated them.

It's consistency. 

Now, let me unpack that, because it's easier said than done, and I want this to be a useful moment for everyone working towards a promotion.

Consistency of:

𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 - performing at a high level (and at the next level) for an extended period of time, gives people the comfort that you are not a "shooting star."

𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗿 - you show up the same in all rooms, and under all circumstances. No one likes surprises, and no one will promote someone who has erratic behavior. They should be saying: this is what Simo would do in this situation, because you are predictable.

𝗝𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 - it means that people trust how you think. Your decisions reflect stable principles and don’t swing with pressure, politics, or whoever spoke last in the meeting. Executives begin to feel they know how you will evaluate complex situations.

𝗢𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 - it means you don’t disappear when things get messy. You follow through, take responsibility in both success and failure, and problems don’t bounce back upward because you handle them.

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 - it means your message travels clearly across audiences. You communicate with the same clarity upward, sideways, and downward, without changing personality depending on seniority in the room. Leaders feel safe putting you in front of executives, partners, or clients.

𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀 - it means you invest in people over time rather than only when you need something. Stakeholders experience you as fair, steady, and constructive, and advocates emerge naturally because working with you feels predictable and trustworthy.

𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 - it means you develop and express a recognizable point of view. Over time, people start asking for your take because your unique perspective helps them make sense of complexity.

There's no fancy acronym here, but the underlying concept of consistency, in whichever dimension you'd like to apply it, besides the ones I mentioned.

This is true at all levels, but even more true at the senior level because your consistency or lackthereof impacts a large number of people.

Speaking of which, in which area do your stakeholders (and bosses) believe that you are consistent?

Working hard was never the problem
because I could see a bright future ahead 

When I joined google I was 28.
Left for Ireland with two bags with a lot of hope
Hungry for a stronger career than Italy could give me

The secret was simple back then
work hard, be flexible, catch new opportunities 
and don't let them go until you crack the code 
be excited and enthusiastic about what you have 
be hungry for learning new things 

there you have it - that's how most of us have built our careers

It was kinda easy back then: no family, no commitments
an infinite amount of hours that you could dedicate to work if you wanted to
I didn't even have to go grocery shopping because I'd just eat at work!

Years pass, and you start building a life 
girlfriend who becomes a wife
kids, houses, responsibilities

You also choose to dedicate your time to what's more important, and you don't want to miss your kids' games, recitals, and birthdays.
You even manage to cultivate some hobbies on the side, if you are lucky.

All precious things, all layered on top of each other 
a bit by chance and a bit by design

Now the runway is a bit unclear at work
Hard work doesn't quite crack the code
even if you are liked, respected, and considered excellent

So you are wondering, oh, this is it? 
This is how my career ends?
A plateau that feels defeat 

because you have so much more in you

Silent respectable praise 
but no acceleration or excitement
or let alone being chosen for the next role

But that's not it. You are not "done". This is not "all there is".
It's just a moment where you need to rethink the way you work, how you spend your time, how you 

20 years of corporate weren't just for "this", they were the necessary preparation for what's next.

And what's next is not what it has been because a lot of things have changed. And you just need a new playbook to feel excited, fulfilled, and back to rising again. 

If you are in that season, DM me, I have been through it.

I learned this in 15 years at Google.  
3 ways to get your work noticed next week.

This is such a common pain that I hear multiple times per week, at all levels.

"My work isn't visible."  
"I'm doing more than they think."  
"I'm not getting credit."

First of all, as always, there are no hack tips or tricks. There's also an important reframe: It's your job and responsibility to showcase your work. 

Doing great work isn't enough.  Visibility doesn't happen automatically.

So here are three ways to fix this.

1- Choose someone one or two levels above you in an adjacent business unit, ideally someone whose team you already interact with. Ask for a short 15-minute meeting through their admin or directly:

"Through my work on [project], I came across a few findings that may be relevant to your team. I’d love to share them live." 

Prepare one clear insight from your work.  The best ones often come from the voice of the customer. The higher the leaders are, the more detached they can become from the front lines.

2- Send your boss the “so what”. Instead of emailing what you did, share the insight behind it. What idea, outcome, or observation have comne up from your work in the past few weeks? 

Frame it as a perspective or possible new approach.  It can become a strong discussion starter for your next 1:1 and lead to a more strategic conversation.

3- Share an insight in a meeting. Pick a meeting you already have next week and make a point of sharing one of the insights you developed above.
It shouldn’t be random, of course. But if the setting and audience are right, what you share can benefit everyone.

Some of the strongest leaders I worked with at Google did this consistently.

You own the visibility and influence of your work, and it all starts with small, consistent actions.

Want the executive promotion faster?  
Start doing what 95% won’t.

We all know the things we should be doing. I'll tell you why most people don't do them and, if you are willing to do them, how they will accelerate your next promotion. 

--
1 - Follow-up - the lazy version is sending an email after a meeting for a project update, a status report, action items, or a link to a project tracker.
But are we sure people really understood your idea? Are you sure they are on the same page? Are you convinced now that "they are in motion?" 

There's one rule I lived by during my 15 years at Google: always assume people are not on the same page (even if they should, after all you have done!). I was rarely surprised.

Instead of sending a "recap email", schedule a 10-minute chat (whether it's in person or remotely, the same applies) and double-check whether they understood what you think should be clear to them. Apply genuine curiosity and active listening, as always.

It takes time, and especially with "tough" stakeholders, it's uncomfortable. That's why 95% of people shy away from this.

---
2 - Follow-through - You can't pick and choose the things you will do if you have committed to something. Following through, in a timely manner, with your commitments models the expectations. 

Follow through with the action items that are most important to others, likely the stuff that you don't enjoy doing. Most people just do the stuff they want to do, and they leave behind or delay excuting on the things that are important for others. 

You are laser-focused on your own objectives; that's why you do the stuff that matters to you first. But the top 5% knows that you'll get stuff done only through others, and they prioritize what's important for them first.

----
3 - Offering help - When was it last time that you asked: "Is there anything I can do for you, that would help you?" More importantly, do you consistently offer your help? 

We are way too busy to add "things" to our plate for others, aren't we? 
Well, remember that every time you do something for others, you deposit goodwill in a bank account that you will eventually withdraw from when you need it.

If in the moment of need the bank account is empty, you are going to be in trouble. 

The secret is to do these three things consistently over time. Avoid being sidetracked by the "next new shiny thing", and drop everything else to chase what everyone wants to work on for visibility. 

Be boringly consistent in follow-up, follow-through, and offering help, and you'll become the obvious choice for your next promotion.

Here's what sets apart those who get promoted
(after seeing 500+ promo candidates at Google)

The desire is there. I see it, and I speak with many people who are working towards their promotion.

Most of them recognize their blockers, the symptoms of why they are stuck. 

I see one frequent pattern, though:

Looking for tips, tricks, and advice to solve the situation quickly. Unfortunatly it doesn't work like that.

Imagine going to the doctor:

"Doctor, my leg hurts."
"Ok, here are 10 pills you need to take daily."
"Hmmm... wait, don't you want to run some tests first and understand what's going on?"

That's what happens when you ask for high-level advice. You end up with something you don't need, for a problem you may not have.

What sets apart those who get promoted is the following (with some best practices to make it happen):

1 - They schedule time to reflect: One hour per week, they analyze how the week went, which meetings were successful and which ones failed, and why, which stakeholders they should focus on more, and so on. Not on a Friday evening, because likely it's going to be pushed out and ultimately cancelled. Set a Monday lunch with yourself, and while you eat write down your reflections

2- Move from symptom to root cause: 99% of the time, what you observe and feel is the symptom of something else. Spend some time asking yourself: What is the reason behind what's happening? What's useful is to have someone to discuss and unpack things with. It's really hard to read the label when you are inside the bottle.

3- They put the extra work: This is last, but arguably the most important factor. Imagine getting to 5 or 6 pm after a day full of meetings and work. You know you need to get to work on your promotion strategy, but who feels like mapping out your stakeholders after a long day of work? That's what it takes. 

No magic formula. A process, a method, for sure, but no one is going to do the work for you. Some advice on this: treat it as you'd treat a project at work. Set milestones, deadlines, review meetings with yourself and so on. 

It often happens that clients tell me "I hate you, Simo" then they follow with
"When you push my thinking. But that's when I know I am growing."

Which one are you (and want to be)?

If you hate me a bit today for what I wrote. I did my job.

After building and running teams at Google for 15 years
I know what build trust at scale really is

Most leaders confuse being liked with being trusted

"I have a great relationship with them"
"They hear what I have to say"
"The come to me for advice"
"We get along well"

That's not havig a trusted business partner
That's the definition of a work buddy

For how nice that can be, we need deeper trust to get things done in today's corporate environment.

Also, how do you build trust at scale and at a distance?
How do you build trust with those who don't like you?

Join me and Richard Moore this Friday to unpack what really means building trust, and doing it at scale as you grow as a senior leader.

There are no hacks, no shortcuts, no AI that will do it for you.

Come and join us to find out how.

https://lnkd.in/d4HiDCbW

I train founders in the psychology of high-trust deal-making and sales | Creator, Art of Sell | 3× LinkedIn Top Voice | 5 x LinkedIn Learning Instructor

You can’t scale your leadership without scaling trust.

At small scale, people know you. They see you. They understand how you think.

But at a larger scale, that can all disappear.

At that level, people start to interpret you from a distance:
- Through your decisions
- Through your communication
- Through your consistency

And if trust isn’t there, all your results can start to slow down

This Friday I’ll be live with Simone Schiassi, a former Google Global Director, to talk about how trust is actually built and maintained as you grow into more senior leadership roles.

We’ll be sharing practical experiences from inside complex organisations and answering your questions live.
