How to Use Your Wardrobe to Get Visible in 3 Easy Steps

There has never been a time more than now that you need to be visible.  Being visible is more than being seen… it’s about getting noticed! Something that we are not too comfortable with…. because if someone is watching, they may see us doing something that isn’t perfect 😮 and know that we are human.  

Why is being visible in your brand so important?

If you want to be seen as a leader within an organization or within your own brand, you must be visible in order to strengthen your impact and get your message out there. Get comfortable getting visible, repeatedly being vulnerable, and being sure of yourself.  

The challenge is that everyone is telling you that you must be visible but no one is telling you how to actually get noticed.

1. What is stopping your visibility?  

From a young age we have been conditioned to play “small.” We were told things like “don’t be too loud”, “don’t be a show off”, “don’t make others uncomfortable by talking about your accomplishments.”  All of these things are stored in the back of our minds, but at the same time we are thinking about getting noticed.  

What if you switch your thought process around? Try focusing on the people out there that need you and what you are putting out into the world. If you are not telling them how you can help them and making a big deal about it, they are never going to know you are here to support them. 

Personally, I know that I don’t usually put emails that I receive from clients about their amazing transformations on social media because I don’t want to come off as a show-off.  That was until I received a follow up message from a client asking why her testimonial wasn’t posted. Of course I got embarrassed and told her my rationale.  She made me realize that I was actually being selfish by not sharing it, because I wasn’t telling other women that they are not alone, and showing them that I can help them.

Focus on the people that need to know you are there to support them!

2. Surround yourself with other people that are focused on visibility 

Do you ever feel like your friends and family just don’t understand what you do and the message you are putting out into the world? I certainly do!

I’ve spent hours obsessing over a social media post… tearing my heart out, being vulnerable and sharing a hard story to tell, with the hopes that it will help my followers feel not alone when they are feeling alone… only to get a “cute shoes” comment from a friend on my post and a direct message asking a question that had nothing to do with my post.

Your friends and family are not your audience and won’t understand how to market your brand!  They are not going to be able to tell you if your Facebook live is on-point, and they are not your dream client.  Stop trying to explain what your job is to them and start surrounding yourself with other women that understand your career path, visibility and what it takes to get noticed.

A group of women with common goals can support each other like no one else!

3. Use your wardrobe to excite you about getting visible

Make visibility fun with your clothes so you can take some steps to get excited about being seen! Use the energy that you get from wearing the clothing that you love and feel confident about getting noticed! 

If you’re hosting a webinar…. wear your favorite dress and throw on your sexy heels. Even if no one will see them, you will know they are on and they will boost your confidence! 

Launching a new program? Get excited for it by planning your outfits for the week of the launch in advance! There will be moments during that launch that you will need a little extra adrenaline and those special outfits will give you just that!

Clothing is simply a conversation with yourself and an easy way to get excited about getting noticed.
