Right now, being visible in some way which allows others to simply know you exist - but also in a way that enables people to connect with you - is becoming more and more essential if you want to create a successful business.As someone who has struggled with my own visibility issues, I know how much of a challenge it can be to overcome them - but it can be done!In this episode of the show I’m going to share some key steps to overcome your fear of visibility - all while honouring your highly sensitive nature.Tune in to learn:How to create your own personalised visibility scaleThe truth about becoming more confident in being seenHow to know if your fears are blocks, alignment or legitimate concernsThe key to motivating yourself to keep showing up and growing your visibilityCheck out the blog post that accompanies this episode.Laura’s links:Laura's websiteLaura's InstagramLaura's YouTubeJoin Laura’s email list for updatesOther links mentioned in this episode:4 Hour Marketing Workflow for CoachesHow I Manifest in my Coaching BusinessDanielle LaPorte Desire MapIf you're a health, life or spiritual coach who wants to grow and scale your business in a holistic, sustainable and enjoyable way then I'd LOVE to help you…✨Book a one off Clarity Call: Just need a quick pick my brains type session or support to create a plan of action you implement on your own?
