“The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.”

-Audrey Hepburn-

As I meet christian women in business I see this topic of visibility as one that on the surface seems easy enough. It seems easy to make sure that your business and services are at the forefront and that you are connecting with other, networking with others. Easy enough. Consciously you know you need to be visible but somehow someway you keep playing small. It’s one thing to show up physically it’s another to show up with intention of how you want to connect, what you have to offer with clarity around the problems you solve and the offer you have to give. Visibility mindset is the foundation to how you show up and just how visible you’ll allow yourself to become with your calling.

How are you showing up for your audience? 

Are you showing up confident and knowing that it’s perfectly ok for you to speak your mind. Are openly sharing your why and your deeper message around your brand? Are you showing up energized knowing that you are a viable solution? Are you showing up with amazing content that speaks to your clients pain points and desires? Are you staying consistent with your content? Have you hired a team of experts to aid you in this game called visibility and not just being visible but being visible and aligned with your soul’s purpose?

I’ve seen women who are visible with ease around the work that they feel is expected of them. It’s perfectly safe to talk about the new job you just got because others will praise you for going status quo. It’s easier to share about the contract work you do with a corporate company but when it comes time to share your course and your book that you wrote…you choke. You worry about what people will say, what they will think, if you are good enough.

Do you need to be connected to something or someone bigger than yourself to feel validated?

I’ve seen women who are top sellers for the company they W-9 with but when it comes to working on a coaching program that they design their confidence disappears. When it comes to selling that program they become fearful that no one will buy. I’ve worked with women who easily secure $130,000 corporate clients but when it comes down to freelancing for their own agency or business they question themselves. They wonder if the decisions they make are right for their company are right?

It’s almost like women don’t trust their intuition, passions, talents, and abilities to be enough in their chosen industry. 

That’s what comes across when you play small with the god-given vision placed in our heart. That’s what comes across when you allow your visibility mindset to operate at a low level. Women want their talents, passions, and abilities attached to a company or brand bigger than themselves so they don’t have to be fully seen. So no one can find them out. They don’t want anyone to see that they are simply who they are which is absolutely more than enough. You just haven’t figured that part out yet. This is why confidence and mindset around personal visibility is so important for women of faith.

Are you comfortable holding the spotlight on your vision and purpose not backed by anyone but you and God? He is the one who has given you the vision. He is the one who has given you the skillset. What is needed to uplevel your confidence and increase your visibility mindset meter?

First you need to acknowledge:

• All the traumas in your life where you were made to feel like you small
• All the traumas in your life where you were made to feel invisible
• The trauma that caused you to close your mouth and not speak up
• The trauma that cause you to not stand up for yourself
• The judgement you made of others who weren’t afraid of the spotlight
• The judgment you made of your others who were loud and stood up for themselves
• The lies you told yourself around why you shouldn’t be seen
• The lies you told yourself around why you stay small
• The vows you’ve made to continue to play small

When you heal the subconscious bitter root of your judgements and expectancies then you can walk in confidence and carry a visibility mindset that is ready for any opportunity that comes your way. Not just your own confidence but confidence in Jesus, the confidence in the God that we serve. It’s hard to fully align with the confidence and the truth that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us when that truth is tainted by our own judgments, expectancies and childhood traumas. Let’s get to the root of what’s causing you to miss out on the visibility around your calling that is meant for you!!!
