You blended in and that’s why they forgot your name.

Hi ,
Let’s talk about that moment that stings.
You showed up, you were polite, prepares and Professional.
Somehow, no one remembered you.They couldn’t recall your name, your input barely stuck and someone else got the spotlight.
Here’s why:
You blended in.
Not because you’re not capable, but because your image didn’t match your power.
Playing it safe doesn’t help you stand out, muted looks. neutral energy, toned -down energy. All in an effort to appear “humble” or “not too much.”
Here’s the truth:
You were never meant to blend in.
Your work is bold.
Your experience is valid.
So your image should speak up too.
This is your reminder to stop shrinking your image just to make others comfortable.You don’t need to be louder, you just need to be clearer.
And yes, you can be memorable without being dramatic. It starts with intentional presentation, not perfection.
P.S. Own The Room begins July 26.
If you’re ready to shift how you show up, get seen and get taken seriously, this 35-day program is for you.
