And what you are going to hear in today’s podcast episode is just that. I know I often felt overlooked, underpaid and undervalued during my 8 years working as a consultant. I wish I would have heard this podcast! Our guest today is going to share tactics that you can use so you don’t become invisible at work and instead start to become considered for growth opportunities.
