Harvard Business Review

Your personal goals need a long-term strategy. It's no secret that we're pushed to the limit. Today's professionals feel rushed, overwhelmed, and perennially behind. So we keep our heads down, focused on the next thing, and the next, without a moment to breathe. How can we break out of this endless cycle and create the kind of interesting, meaningful lives we all seek? Just as CEOs who optimize for quarterly profits often fail to make the strategic investments necessary for long-term growth, the same is true in our own personal and professional lives. We need to reorient ourselves to see the big picture so we can tap into the power of small changes that, made today, will have an enormous and disproportionate impact on our future success. We need to start playing The Long Game.

I am trying something different this week.

Each day I am highlighting a set of books that I genuinely recommend for professionals who want to grow, lead, and navigate their careers with more clarity.

Today’s theme: visibility at work and how to show up with confidence.
Visibility is not about being loud.

It is about being intentional with how you communicate your strengths and how you participate in the rooms that matter.

Here are three authors and three books I trust on this topic:

Goldie Chan — Personal Branding for Introverts
A thoughtful guide for anyone who finds traditional visibility advice draining or misaligned with their natural style. Goldie shows how to build presence in a way that feels real and sustainable.

Lorraine K. Lee — Unforgettable Presence
A practical roadmap for showing up well on video, in webinars, and in every online setting where impressions count. Lorraine understands digital communication on a deep level and breaks it down clearly.

May Busch — Visible
May rose to senior leadership and now teaches others how to communicate their impact with confidence. Her insights are especially useful for anyone ready to step forward in their role.

If you or someone you know is focused on professional growth this year, these books are an excellent place to start.

Thanks for resharing my talk, TED Conferences! We can all benefit from thinking more critically about what we get out of being so busy - and how to disrupt that cycle.

Feels like you’re always busy? You might be making choices that keep it that way. Here’s how to break the pattern: http://t.ted.com/y9I6NAy
