Visibility is everywhere.

Opinions.
Posts.
Personal brands.
Constant presence.

But in Episode 7 of Shatter This with Heather Simpson, Heather challenges a growing leadership confusion: the belief that being seen is the same as being powerful.

It isn’t.

This episode draws a clear line between visibility—which is fast, reactive, and attention-driven—and power, which is built through judgment, decisiveness, and responsibility over time.

Because while visibility explains decisions, power makes them.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why attention is often mistaken for influence
• How visibility rewards reaction while power requires judgment
• The difference between narrating leadership and practicing it
• Why some of the most powerful leaders are the least visible
• How decisiveness builds trust faster than constant presence
• When visibility supports leadership—and when it undermines it

This isn’t an argument against being seen.

It’s a reminder that power doesn’t require performance—it requires decisions that shape outcomes.

Listen if you:

• Feel pressure to always be visible to stay relevant
• Are building a personal brand or leading in public
• Want to understand the difference between influence and authority
• Care about long-term impact, not short-term attention

If this episode reframed how you think about visibility, share it with someone navigating leadership in public.
