The Humble Boost: Rethinking How We Recognise Talent
🔮 What if the loudest voices aren’t the ones making the biggest impact?
A Managing Director once said to me:
“Those who shout the loudest often get the best opportunities — but they’re not always the best for the job.”
That stuck with me.
In many teams, the quietly confident, high-impact performers get overlooked — especially when we layer in how gender influences how success is communicated and received.
🟣 The humble ones aren’t looking for applause.
🟡 But without them, businesses wouldn’t run.
In my latest article, “The Humble Boost,” I explore:
✨ The subtle bias in how we interpret confidence
✨ Why we need to ‘standardise’ contributions
✨ How leaders can rebalance recognition — especially mid-year
📥 It’s time we rethink how we measure value and empower performance — across ALL voices.
