The Meeting Visibility Playbook

Meetings with senior leaders are the most effective visibility opportunity in any week. Never attend without contributing at least once — silence reads as disengagement, not deference. The leaders in the room are watching who shapes the discussion and who passively occupies a seat.

Summarize decisions, connect dots across teams, or ask the one question the room has been avoiding. Ten minutes of prep before a senior meeting converts passive attendance into the single contribution leaders remember.
