By the time a decision gets announced – a promotion, a stretch assignment, a reorg – the outcome has often already taken shape.

The people who influence it aren’t waiting for the formal meeting. They’ve already had the one-on-ones, surfaced the objections, and made sure the right people know who they are.

If you’re not having those conversations, you’re not just out of the loop – you’re invisible at the moments when it counts.

This live coaching session gives you a clear picture of how decisions are really made – and a practical approach to ensure the right people know what you’re capable of before it matters.

What you’ll discover:

  • Why the formal meeting is rarely where the decision happens – and how to be part of the conversations that matter
  • The three types of decisions forming quietly right now, and why each one requires a different response
  • How people in your organization form complete narratives about you from incomplete information – fast, quietly, and not to your face
  • The two kinds of visibility you need: being visible to decision-makers, and having visibility into what’s forming before it’s announced
  • How to own your narrative without it feeling like politics or self-promotion
  • Why having the right people in your corner matters more than being visible yourself

You’ll come away knowing exactly how to shape the decisions that matter – so when your name comes up, the right people already know what you’re capable of.
