    87. Executive-Level Visibility
    Jan 21 2026
    Episode 87: Executive-Level Visibility The Career Clinic Podcast Host: Ronnie Dickerson Stewart Episode Overview Welcome to Week Three of The Career Clinic Podcast January Intensive Series. In Episode 87, we continue this week's focus on voice, visibility, and connection by going deeper into what Ronnie calls Executive-Level Visibility — the kind of visibility that creates provision, optionality, and stability in an increasingly uncertain and shifting professional landscape. This episode reframes visibility as more than posting online or being "seen." Ronnie explores visibility as a strategic asset — one that ensures your name is in the room (even when you aren't), your value is understood by decision-makers, and your career currency remains spendable through transitions, restructures, and market shifts. What You'll Learn in This Episode: ✔️ Why your work has never truly "spoken for itself" — and what actually does ✔️ The difference between default visibility and designed visibility ✔️ Why visibility is a form of career provision and protection ✔️ How internal and external visibility work together ✔️ What career currency is — and how visibility makes it usable ✔️ The real reasons high-performing leaders avoid visibility ✔️ Practical steps to intentionally curate executive-level visibility The Core Truth: Visibility Creates Provision Ronnie introduces a powerful reframe: visibility is not about attention — it's about access. Access to: Opportunities you didn't know existed Advocacy when you're not in the room Agency to choose what's next instead of waiting to be chosen Protection during restructures, freezes, or leadership compression In today's hybrid, distributed, and increasingly parasocial work environment, decisions about your career are often made by people who don't interact with you regularly — if at all. Visibility ensures your impact is understood beyond proximity. Default vs. Designed Visibility This episode introduces a critical distinction: Default Visibility Based on title, tenure, company brand, or proximity Passive and circumstantial Fragile during disruption Designed Visibility Intentional, strategic, and aligned with your goals Curated by you Sustainable through change, transition, and market shifts Ronnie challenges listeners to ask honestly: Am I visible by default — or am I designing my visibility? Internal Visibility: The Often-Missed Lever Many leaders assume internal visibility will "take care of itself." This episode names why that's risky. Internal visibility includes: Being known by skip-level and senior leaders Cross-functional partners understanding your strategic value Decision-makers being able to articulate why your work matters Ronnie explains how leaders can be beloved by their teams yet invisible three levels up — and why that gap often shows up during promotions, restructures, and succession conversations. External Visibility: Creating Options Beyond Your Role External visibility ensures opportunity is not dependent on your current employer. This includes: Industry reputation Recruiters, boards, and partners knowing your name Being associated with a point of view or expertise Creating mobility, leverage, and choice The magic isn't either/or — it's both internal and external visibility working together. Career Currency & Why Visibility Makes It Spendable Ronnie introduces the concept of career currency — the trust, expertise, results, relationships, and impact you've been building for years. The key insight: Currency only has value if people know you have it. Without visibility: Your expertise can't be converted Your impact remains invisible Your receipts go unused Visibility is what makes your currency spendable. Why Visibility Feels Hard (and How to Reframe It) Ronnie names the most common blockers: It feels self-promotional You're too busy doing the work to talk about the work You don't know where to start or what to say Social platforms feel performative or inauthentic The reframe: visibility isn't about ego — it's about stewardship. Stewardship of your work, your people, your ideas, and your future. A Practical Visibility Framework 📝 1. Audit Your Current Visibility Who knows you? Who knows what you do? Where are the gaps? 2. Define What Visibility Needs to Get You Promotion? Mobility? Protection? Options? Clarity here drives strategy. 3. Build Internal Visibility Intentionally Get in front of decision-makers Translate work into business impact Cultivate skip-level relationships Use internal channels thoughtfully Document and share wins strategically 4. Build External Visibility Selectively Choose a reach/frequency model that fits your goals and capacity. One platform. One practice. Consistency over volume. 5. Make Visibility Routine, Not a Project Small, weekly actions compound. Systems create sustainability. This Week's Invitation Choose one: Connect with one internal ...

  • 86. Your Voice: Your Most Important Asset

    86. Your Voice: Your Most Important Asset
    Jan 20 2026
    Episode 86: Your Voice: Your Most Important Asset The Career Clinic Podcast Host: Ronnie Dickerson Stewart Episode Overview Welcome to Week Three of The Career Clinic Podcast January Intensive Series. This week, we shift our focus to voice, visibility, community, and connection — starting with the foundation of it all: your voice. In Episode 86, Ronnie leads a direct, honest conversation about why your voice — both literal and figurative — is one of your most important professional and personal assets. Many high-performing leaders are skilled at using their voices on behalf of organizations, teams, and clients, yet hesitate when it comes to advocating for themselves, sharing their expertise, or naming what they want and deserve. Your voice is not a soft skill. It is a strategic asset — one that creates opportunity, alignment, provision, and choice over time. What You'll Learn in This Episode: ✔️ What it really means to use your voice beyond "speaking up" ✔️ Why leaders often underuse their voice on their own behalf ✔️ How institutional roles can unintentionally mute self-expression ✔️ The cost of silence in your career and life ✔️ Why expertise without voice leads to invisibility ✔️ How voice creates leverage, visibility, and optionality The Core Idea: Your Voice Creates Opportunity This episode makes one thing clear: your voice is how opportunity finds you. Ronnie reflects on her own career journey — from corporate leadership to entrepreneurship — and names a powerful truth: the same skills that help you rise inside institutions are the skills that create possibility when you step outside of them. When the institutional veil disappears, what remains is you — your perspective, your experience, your point of view. Learning to use your voice without hiding behind a brand, title, or role becomes essential. Your voice is how you: Identify problems and advance solutions Advocate for scope, compensation, and resources Share earned expertise Create new roles and pathways Build credibility and long-term visibility When Your Voice Goes Quiet ✍🏾 Ronnie names a hard truth with care: silence has a cost. When you don't use your voice, you may: Stay invisible Remain in roles that no longer fit Be overlooked or under-resourced Miss opportunities you are fully qualified for In a moment where generic content is everywhere, earned perspective and lived expertise matter more than ever. A Provocation to Sit With Why are you acting like you're new to this — when you're true to this? This episode invites listeners to examine how they may be: Waiting for permission to speak Softening expertise to avoid standing out Deferring to louder voices with less experience Playing smaller than their actual capacity You don't need permission to name what you know. The Voice Audit 📝 Ronnie offers a simple reflection exercise: Where am I holding back my voice or expertise? What is it costing me — personally or professionally? What might change if I used my voice more fully? The goal isn't performance. It's awareness. Looking Ahead Tomorrow's episode builds on this foundation as we move into visibility — specifically, how leaders build visibility that supports provision, opportunity, and sustainability. Voice comes first. Visibility ensures it reaches the right places. Links & Resources 🤎 📝 Ask OhHeyCoach: Have a question you'd like answered on a future episode?

    85. Crews, Calendars, and Self-Commitment | Ask OhHeyCoach
    Jan 16 2026
    Episode 85: Crews, Calendars, and Self-Commitment | Ask OhHeyCoach The Career Clinic Podcast Host: Ronnie Dickerson Stewart Episode Overview Welcome to Ask OhHeyCoach Friday and the close of Week Two of The Career Clinic January Intensive. In Episode 85, Ronnie responds to listener-submitted questions that bring this week's themes together in real, lived ways — your calendar, your capacity, your crew, and your ability to keep commitments to yourself without guilt, perfectionism, or burnout. This conversation reinforces a central idea from the week: improving your say vs. do ratio isn't about doing more. It's about designing systems, supports, and commitments that reflect your actual reality — and then honoring them with integrity. This Week's Coaching Focus Throughout this episode, Ronnie addresses how to: Close the gap between what you say matters and what your calendar reflects Move forward without certainty through testing and learning Assemble support without over-engineering or awkwardness Rebuild self-trust through small, kept commitments Release guilt and self-judgment in favor of honest design Listener Questions Answered in This Episode 1. "My calendar is telling on me." A listener shares that while they say health, rest, and boundaries matter, none of those priorities show up on their calendar — leading to guilt and self-doubt. Ronnie reframes this as a design issue, not a character flaw, and offers a grounded approach to rebuilding self-trust through evidence, not intention. 2. "I overthink everything — even small tests." This question explores perfectionism and analysis paralysis. Ronnie names overthinking as a form of self-protection and introduces a gentler reframe: moving from "Is this the right decision?" to "Is this safe enough to test?" Action becomes possible when learning, not certainty, is the goal. 3. "I know I need a crew, but asking for help feels awkward." A listener asks how to build support without it feeling transactional or forced. Ronnie normalizes the discomfort of vulnerability and emphasizes that most meaningful support starts awkward — and honest. A human ask, not a polished one, is often all that's needed. 4. "Where do I even start with assembling a crew?" This question names the overwhelm of coordinating people and securing buy-in. Ronnie reminds listeners that a crew is not built all at once. Support grows incrementally, starting with identifying one gap and inviting in one person or resource that can help lighten the load. Key Coaching Takeaways ✍🏾 ✔️ Your calendar provides feedback — not judgment ✔️ Self-trust is built through small promises kept ✔️ Testing replaces perfection as the path to progress ✔️ A crew carries you and carries things with you ✔️ Support does not need to be perfectly coordinated to be effective ✔️ Alignment grows through honest, incremental change What This Episode Reinforces You don't need a new planner to change your life — you need an honest one You don't need certainty to move — you need permission to learn You don't need a massive support system — you need intentional support You don't need to do this alone This episode ties together the practical and emotional realities of designing a year that reflects what actually matters. Looking Ahead Next week, we begin Week Three of the January Intensive, focused on provision through visibility, voice, community, and connection — and how showing up with clarity (not performance) creates opportunity.
