Idea#1 ask questions. I do and people end up stealing idea and present it as theirs in meetings where I am not present. Idea# 2: Volunteer for challenging project. I end up making things run smooth and make things easy so people make it sound like it was not challenging. Basically they refuse or fail to recognize and value the work.
Hi Mayank, thanks for your question! When you're new to your career, it can be challenging to get people to look at you seriously. But the best way to achieve this is to ask questions. Act interested in your work. Ask your boss questions about what you're doing, why you're doing it etc. You can also request stretch projects or more difficult tasks to work on. All of this shows your keen to improve and grow as an employee. Over time, they will notice this and they will realise that you're a high-performing employee and they'll start to take you more seriously. This will take time, but if you're dedicated to your career, it can work.
Thanks for your video Kara. I especially liked your LinkedIn posting comments to gain more visibility and improve my ‘brand’. I plan to listen to your other interesting videos.
That's fantastic David! I'm so glad this video and LinkedIn tips helped you. I have a number of other videos on my channel on LinkedIn, check out the "LinkedIn Tips" playlist.
Thanks for watching! I have a playlist with all the videos I've created about LinkedIn Tips. You can check it out here th-cam.com/play/PLC2PbGU4iq484cc1IsEbe6kpqHCj2P3PX.html I hope you find something helpful there.
Thanks so much Abdul for your comment! I hope this video will help you ask questions in meetings. I have another TH-cam video might help you: th-cam.com/video/SSFVQ0sMsek/w-d-xo.html
I've been vocal on speaking about the project I was working on to my team, but a colleague of mine brutally criticized my work. He was a jealous person with a huge ego that was used to having all the glory. My boss took his side, which was also humiliating. I need to talk someone else that believes in me, so I'm trying to build connections with other managers. I don't want to be passed up for a promotion at work. What do you suggest I do to expedite the promotion process?
This is a difficult situation to be in, Carol. It seems that you're being overlooked at work and your boss has made a close connection with one of your coworkers. You're likely facing an issue of favouritism. Building connections with other managers is a great idea. Building connections with other coworkers in your team can also help. If you get those coworkers on your side, they can act as a form of public support for you in meeting when you talk about your project. More difficult, but coming up with compelling reasons as to "why" your project is good for the company and in line with the company's objectives is something you can try too. These are objectives that your boss can't deny and if she/he sees your project aligns with those objectives, it gives them a reason to support you.
I love the way you do your vlog always direct. I have a question, is it okay to posts your achievements and work accomplishment at work on your fb or Instagram? Particularly if you are a quiet person or introvert and you don't tell anyone except of you are asked, unfortunately we are not using LinkedIn many of my colleagues are doing the same also posting their work accomplishment on fb.
Thanks for your comment. In the middle of this video the external mic dropped out and sound was recorded with internal mic so had a lot of echo. The rest of the video still has some echo, it's because of where I film. Unfortunately at the moment, I'm limited to filming in this one place. But this will be fixed in the future as I continually improve my videos.
Kara....Your video may be great but you take too much time to advertise more of your work and it disengages my attention to your topic. I would say you need to find out a way, you, to include your promotion of other videos without taking the attention from us. Maybe, maybe, close to the end of your dissertation ....by then you have convinced us of your work....good luck.
Thanks for your feedback. This is a really old video. You should watch my recent ones for a better comparison. But I thank you for watching and your compliment about the video.
I get where you're coming from James. But if it's done in the right way, you won't come off as brown nosing. It's about linking your contributions and achievements to the bigger picture ( company's goals). How have you helped the company? Your work might sometimes get noticed (if you have a good boss) but not always. For those times you feel overlooked, these tips can work.
Thanks for watching this video on how to become more visible at work. Was it helpful? Let me know in the comments below.
Hi Kara!
All your tips are very useful for an emerging leader.
Thank you for your valuable tips
Excellent tips! Thank you for your insight.
Thank you for watching!

I'm very grateful my teacher!
Thanks for the video ! I had a supervisor that always invalidate whatever I said in meetings, even the most logical things. Why is that happened ?
Thanks Kara, this movie ie really helpful. I am struggling with increasing my visibility, I feel difficult to promote myself in the company.
It can be hard to know where to start. I'm glad this video was helpful for you!
Hey Kara ! I am fresher at my workplace and most senior staff doesn't take me very seriously, how can I make 'em look me up more serious ?

Thank you so much Rolan! In your case, since you and your work colleagues don't use LinkedIn, it's ok to post your accomplishments on FB or IG.
The echoing voice should be adjusted. Thank you.

You don't need promotion in a toxic environment if the money is good.
Great video, very useful ideas. Thanks for sharing! I just published this video in LinkedIn! 🤔
Fantastic! I'm glad this video was helpful for you!
I'm absolutely petrified of the camera.
