Making Your Work Visible: What High Performers in Transition Need to Know

Meet Our Facilitator

Lynn is an enterprise executive with more than two decades of experience leading large-scale digital product, operations, and technology transformation in complex regulated healthcare and global software organizations. She has owned portfolios exceeding $62 million and led teams of 50 or more across product, design, and technology, bringing disciplined execution and strategic clarity to environments where both are rare.

She also writes. Her newsletter Unsilenced explores what high-performing women navigate in professional environments and what becomes possible when they stop waiting to be recognized and start building on their own terms.

Lynn brings research-grounded insight and candid perspective to conversations about visibility, performance bias, and organizational culture. Her approach is direct, practical, and rooted in her lived experience, making this session as useful as it is honest.

Overview

High-performing professionals in transition often face a challenge that does not show up on any performance review: their impact goes unseen, undervalued, or credited elsewhere, particularly in environments shaped by bias or cultural misalignment. This session gives WGWY members the language, frameworks, and practical strategies to make their contributions visible, recognize performance bias when it is happening, and evaluate their next opportunity with clear eyes.

Description

Lynn will lead a practical and reflective presentation on making high-impact work visible and choosing environments that support, rather than silence, the people doing the work.

The session will explore how performance bias shows up during career transitions and what it actually costs high performers over time. Participants will learn concrete ways to name and document their contributions without feeling like they are inauthentically self-promoting. Lynn will draw on a personal interview experience to illustrate how organizational language and behavior signal culture before you ever accept an offer, and why knowing what to listen for changes everything. The session will include reflective prompts and optional poll questions to help participants apply the insights in real time, followed by a Q&A for shared learning and community connection.
