Being seen isn’t the same as being valuable. Aim for the second and the first usually follows.

Being noticed can be manufactured quickly and being useful cannot, which is why so much effort goes into the first. The trouble is that visibility without substance has to be constantly refreshed, while being genuinely good at something accumulates and eventually speaks on your behalf. One is a treadmill and the other is a foundation.

If you are spending more time presenting the work than doing it, reverse the ratio for a month. Get better at the part a customer, a coach or a teammate would actually notice. Let people find out about it slightly later than they might have.
