If it's a Show-Off Society, how are you getting your share of the stage?

The business world, despite the best efforts of best practice, doesn’t always reward those who put their heads down and get on with the job.  The best can rise through the ranks, climb the corporate ladder or get picked for the dream job – but they have to be spotted.  It’s not just about being creative, hard-working, conscientious.  It’s about being all those things and being seen to be.

The Mayor of Wordville, Lucy George, has written a book with business coach Barbara Greeenway, that outlines some of the principles of PR that can work for anyone.  Called 'Don't Work Harder - Just Get Noticed', the book is for individuals who are looking to be promoted.  Jobseekers looking to be selected for an interview.  Hardworking folks who are getting a little bored of sitting around waiting for the break because surely ‘it’s their time now’.

Championing the unsung, who suffer colleagues taking undue credit, the book incorporates positive ideas, and motivational stories. Don’t Work Harder helps frustrated executives focus on what they want to be famous for, guides them to the evidence to support their personal brand, and offers tips on the next step. It’s not about burning the midnight oil, or suppressing your own beliefs. It’s getting noticed that makes the difference.


Lucy and Barbara will be giving a sneak preview at the IAM Group on Wednesday 30th March in London.  To buy tickets for the event visit http://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/charity-drinks-networking-dont-work-harder-just-get-noticed-tickets-18551354601
