Struggling to be seen or heard is not a personal failing.
Visibility is shaped by context - by culture, power, and systems. By who is allowed to speak.
Many people are doing thoughtful necessary work.
They are contributing insight, care, creativity, or leadership.
And yet their voices don’t always travel.
Their work isn’t always recognised.
Their perspective is overlooked, diluted, or quietly set aside.
This isn’t random.
And it isn’t because they haven’t tried hard enough.
Visibility is not distributed evenly.
Most of us learn early, and often unconsciously, how much space is safe to take up.
We learn when to soften our language.
When to make ourselves more palatable.
When speaking carries risk, and when silence feels safer.
These adaptations are not flaws.
They are intelligent responses to the environments we move through.
The problem arises when those conditions go unnamed, and people turn systemic constraints into personal self-doubt.
What this work makes visible
The School of Visibility is built on a simple but often overlooked insight: how visible you are is not just about what you say or how confidently you say it. It's shaped by:
↠ cultures that determine who is included and who's not
↠ social standards about who carries authority and what establishes credibility
↠ institutions and organisations that amplify some voices and mute others
↠ unspoken rules about who should lead, speak, or stay quiet.
When we understand this, a different way to approach visibility becomes possible.
Not 'be more confident.'
Not 'push harder.'
But learn to work with visibility - deliberately, ethically, and sustainably.
Visibility is about so much more than self-promotion
At The School of Visibility® our work is not about faking it until you make it. It's not about forcing yourself into spaces that were never designed with you in mind.
It's about discernment. About understanding:
- where your voice is likely to be heard
- what kind of visibility actually serves your values
- when being seen creates change - and when it simply creates noise
- how to speak without burning out, hardening, or disappearing.
When practised well, visibility becomes a form of agency rather than exposure.
How to work with us
At The School of Visibility® we work with individuals and organisations.
INDIVIDUALS
THIS IS WHERE INDIVIDUALS WORK WITH VISIBILITY IN THEIR OWN LIVES AND WORK.
IT SUPPORTS INDIVIDUALS TO UNDERSTAND HOW BEING SEEN AND HEARD AFFECTS THEIR CONFIDENCE, CHOICES, AND SENSE OF AGENCY. IT HELPS PEOPLE TO IDENTIFY WAYS OF SHOWING UP THAT FEEL SUSTAINABLE AND TRUE TO THEM.
ORGANISATION AND SYSTEMS
THIS WORK SUPPORTS ORGANISATIONS AND INSTITUTIONS TO THINK DIFFERENTLY ABOUT VISIBILITY.
IT ANALYSES THE WAYS THAT VOICE, INFLUENCE, AND PARTICIPATION ARE STRUCTURED. IT ALSO EXPLORES PRACTICAL WAYS TO ENSURE PEOPLE CAN MEANINGFULLY CONTRIBUTE TO DECISIONS THAT AFFECT THEM.
"I didn't really know what I needed when I enrolled at the School of Visibility but I knew I was stuck."
NOW I FEEL LIKE A DIFFERENT PERSON. I'M MUCH MORE CONFIDENT TO SAY WHAT I THINK IN A CALM AND GENTLE WAY. THIS WORK IS SO IMPORTANT FOR ALL WOMEN. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.
