What happens when you realise you're working incredibly hard, yet nobody can actually find you?
In this episode of Mic Drop Moments, Sandra Garlick MBE is joined by Lisa Baker-Murray, a People and Leadership Development Expert who helps organisations transform dysfunctional teams into high-performing ones through leadership development, coaching and facilitation.
Lisa shares the pivotal moment that changed everything. During a visibility exercise, she discovered that despite regularly posting on social media, she was virtually invisible online. That realisation sparked a complete shift in how she approached her personal brand, confidence and visibility.
Together, Sandra and Lisa discuss why so many experts hide their expertise, how confidence grows through action rather than waiting until you 'feel ready', and why genuine relationships remain one of the most powerful business development strategies available.
This is an honest conversation about stepping into your expertise, allowing yourself to be seen and refusing to let anyone dim your light.
In this episode you'll discover:
- Why posting on social media doesn't automatically make you visible.
- How a visibility strategy transformed Lisa's confidence in just a few months.
- The connection between being seen and recognising your own expertise.
- Why relationship building will always outperform cold selling.
- How collaboration creates more opportunities than competition.
- The importance of celebrating your own achievements instead of hiding them.
- Why visibility is about being remembered for what you want to be known for.
- Lisa's powerful 'Mic Drop Moment' about resilience and facing life's challenges head-on.

*"No matter what the world throws at you, get back up, put your head to the wind and keep going. Every challenge teaches you something, and when you come out the other side, you'll realise just how much you've achieved."*
