74. Proving Yourself to New Leadership: How Jessica Made Her Work Visible & Valuable with New Stakeholders

📢 FREE CLASS: 5 Steps to Speak Like a Senior Leader happening December 3rd 5pm ET: https://melodywilding.com/training

After 21 years with the same organization, Jessica thought she had it figured out. Then new leadership came in. And suddenly, her comfort zone disappeared overnight. The people who understood her body of work, her contributions, and her value were gone. In this episode, Jessica shares how she repositioned herself and her team in the new landscape and built credibility with skeptical stakeholders to go from unknown to influential.

You’ll discover:

• Ways to rebuild your credibility from scratch when new executives arrive with completely different assumptions and priorities
• How to communicate your value when you can no longer rely on people "just knowing" what you've accomplished
• Changes Jessica made to translate her work into language that resonated with new leaders
• The mindset that freed her to take imperfect action instead of overthinking every message
