Visibility Without Vanity: How to Advocate for Your Impact as a Remote/Hybrid Employee with Ana Goehner

In a traditional office, your presence is often enough to signal that you are working. But in a remote or hybrid environment, "out of sight" can quickly mean "out of mind." Many professionals fall into the trap of doing excellent—but invisible—work, hoping their manager will notice.

This session shifts the narrative from "bragging" to "strategic self-advocacy." We will explore how to document your value effectively so that performance reviews are stress-free and your contributions are recognized.

We will cover:

The "Performance Portfolio": How to create and maintain a simple tracking system (often called a "brag document") throughout the year so you never forget your wins.

Making the Invisible Visible: Techniques for communicating progress and "behind-the-scenes" work without overwhelming your manager.

Owning Your 1:1s: How to shift weekly check-ins from simple status updates to strategic conversations about goals and impact.

Proactive Goal Setting: Why you shouldn't wait for your manager to update your goals, and how to take the lead on your own performance trajectory.
