Strategies for Being Visible: 14 Profile-Raising Ideas for Emerging Female Leaders is a practical handbook providing inspiration for women in early and middle leadership positions, in order to motivate them and equip them with the confidence, skills and strategies they require to be more visible at work and raise their profile. This will then enable them to move into more senior positions and feed the pipeline that is needed for women to attain more board-level positions, taking their careers to whatever heights they choose. Self-promotion for women who don't want to feel they're showing off!

'Working in a tough and male dominated environment, I understand the difficulties women face to be heard and judged as equals. Strategies for Being Visible is a wonderful book for emerging female leaders, full of great information and skills to help everyone raise their profiles and achieve more at work.' Ann Daniels, Polar Explorer, part of the first all-female team to reach the North and South Poles

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Deciding she wanted to change her life in 2002, Susan sold her house, gave up her job, put her belongings on a cargo ship bound for the Far East and moved herself and her nine year old son to Borneo. She worked as a primary school teacher, travelled, studied and left her comfort zone for the next eight years, ending up in Central America before deciding to hang up her boots and come home.

Settling back into Lincolnshire, in the UK, and with a 20-year career in education behind her, she set about helping others to create the presence and impact they need at times of change - not always easy! Having navigated new and unknown cultures, situations and people helped Susan to develop the tools she needed to teach those skills to others.

Her first book, published in 2013, Strategies for Being Brilliant: 21 Ways to be Happy, Confident and Successful does what it says on the tin. In it, Susan shares stories, techniques and inspiration from her time travelling with her young son, and her journey back to the UK.

Fast forward to 2018, Susan's son is now 24 and back from his first 6 month overseas trip, and Susan is firmly established as a leadership coach and trainer. She works with executives to develop their leadership presence, creating the impact and engagement they need to further their own careers, as well as fuelling the continued growth and results of their organisations.

Her second book, Strategies for Being Visible: 14 Profile-Raising Ideas for Emerging Female Leaders, due for publication in January 2019, does what it says on the tin too. Making sure that you're seen and heard, you're engaging and influential is a pre-requisite for a successful executive leadership career.

Susan spends her days writing, speaking, coaching and training - kept going by cheese and tea.

She now works with a range of private and public-sector clients including the BBC, the Institute of Chartered Accountants, the NHS and various charities and universities. She is also a mindfulness teacher and provides CPD and training for schools.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely recommend it!
Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2019
I received a free ARC copy from NetGalley for this review.

I really enjoyed this book. My Kindle version is covered in highlights and notes. There were so many good ideas, both general and specific. Ritchie gave lots of examples of real women who did the things she was talking about. She was up-to-date on social media which can be unusual in books, and her tips seemed solid.

I read some of the portions aloud to my more senior family members who have worked in business for years and we discussed the ideas. I didn't come across any that seemed stupid or like they wouldn't work for anyone (of course not all of them will work for everyone).

I especially liked the "Try This" sections at the end of every chapter that summed the chapter up into an actionable step (or steps). The sections often built on each other which made it feel more like a plan than a series of unconnected tips.

Overall, definitely recommend for people getting into their careers and those in careers wishing to make big moves.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Solid Advice
Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2019
Strategies for Being Visible doesn't give particularly new advice, but it does provide reasons why these strategies help our careers. Each chapter also provides guidelines on how to perform each step. I liked the book because it seems to have spoken to the heart of the issue-- some career women are far more modest than men, regardless of whether they're actually more qualified. The strategies not only help us speak up, but also allay our fears that voicing our opinions would be out of place. Although it's not explicitly stated in the book, the thread seems to be "if they can do it, why can't/shouldn't we." Ritchie also touches on some of the systematic biases that put the glass ceiling in place. We can't change people's biases overnight, be we can chip away at them bit by bit. For the most part, Strategies for Being Visible seems to focus specifically on cisgender (i.e. assigned female at birth and identifying as such), but trans and queer women will also find some gems in here. I took away one star because this book is full of the "same old advice" but I still highly recommend it to any woman-- just starting or otherwise-- who feels they would like to make more progress (money, responsibility, respect, etc) in their careers.
***
I'd like to thank both NetGalley and John Hunt Publishing Ltd for providing the advanced reader copy.

Without jargon or phaffing about, Sue gets straight to the heart of many challenges and adverse biases that females leaders and aspiring leaders can still face; even in 2019!
