Stop Being the Best-Kept Secret: How Women in Security Get Seen
You’re excellent at your job. You know it. But the people making decisions don’t know your name. Someone with half your experience and twice your visibility just landed the promotion, the project, the seat at the table.
You were taught to be humble. Let your work speak for itself. Don’t brag. So you did, and now nobody knows what you’re capable of. That can change.
Kathy Sizemore spent 30 years running a security business and learning how to get recognized in rooms that weren’t built for women. She’ll share what she found actually works, without faking who you are.
You’ll learn why accomplished women stay hidden. You’ll decide what you want to be known for. You’ll learn three channels to build recognition—strategic networking, thought leadership and industry involvement—and make them work for you.
You’ll leave with a 90-day visibility framework you can execute. Real actions you can start this week.
You’ve done the work. You’ve earned it. Now make sure they know.
