Crafting a winning highlights reel: lessons from #kingkohli

“My bat does the talking, not me!” - #kingkohli famously gestured to critics after that gritty Perth hundred in 2018. 

It's a classic lesson that hits home for us, fans. 

“Focus on impact and forget the optics” 

Right? 

A BIGGG NO!

I used to think that as long as I was getting things done, optics didn't matter. Throughout a decade of tirelessly building multiple startups from their inception, my focus was always on the work itself. However, with time, I've come to understand the significance of not only delivering results but also ensuring that accomplishments are recognized!

So, by blocking out time on my calendar to work on my optics game, whether its crafting killer status updates or communicating with top brass about every win, I’m focused on finding the right way to communicate the value we're bringing to the table.

Because in the career game, it's not just about winning the match; it's also about making sure your highlight reel is worth watching :)
