The Hidden Cost of Being Unclear
Wondering why your voice feels oddly invisible despite your depth, integrity, and excellence?
I want to say this clearly:
You’re not behind.
You’re not missing something.
And you’re not failing.
You’re just unclear.
And the cost of that?
It’s far higher than most leaders ever realize.
Why This Episode Matters Right Now
We’re living in a moment where:
-
Trust is low
-
Noise is high
-
People are overwhelmed and distracted
And in this landscape, being “good at what you do” is simply not enough.
You must be clear at what you do.
Clear people get chosen.
Clear voices get repeated.
Clear messages get remembered.
This second episode of From UnKnown to UnMistakable exposes the hidden, often invisible price leaders pay when their message isn’t sharp, simple, or specific.
It’s not dramatic.
It’s quiet erosion—of confidence, opportunities, referrals, and credibility.
And because clarity isn’t something you think your way into, this series comes with a step-by-step implementation guide:
👉 The Clarity Kit: your roadmap to identifying and fixing the message gaps that are keeping you unknown.
HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE
1️⃣ Being Unclear Quietly Costs You Opportunities
Most leaders assume the reason they’re not getting traction is lack of talent or lack of visibility.
But excellence without clarity?
It’s invisible.
People can’t refer you if they can’t describe you.
They can’t choose you if they can’t understand you.
They can’t remember you if your message sounds like everyone else’s.
This is why so many brilliant, mission-driven people remain overlooked.
Not because they’re unqualified, but because their message is too vague for anyone to confidently repeat.
2️⃣ Clarity Is the Bridge Between You and the Influence You Want
People aren’t ignoring you.
They simply don’t know how to place you.
Clarity is what makes your work feel recognizable.
It’s what makes someone say:
“Oh — you’re the person who helps leaders communicate with confidence.”
“Oh — you’re the person who helps women reinvent their story.”
“Oh — you’re the person who helps teams speak with clarity.”
Clarity is what turns a name into a presence.
And it’s a skill you can learn — starting with The Clarity Kit.
3️⃣ You Don’t Become UnMistakable by Being Louder — You Become UnMistakable by Being Clear
Inside the episode, I share a moment that changed how I viewed visibility:
You don’t chase opportunities.
You stand steady, clear, credible…
and opportunities know exactly where to find you.
Becoming known is not about charisma.
It’s not about hustling harder.
It’s about being recognizable — and recognizability begins with clarity.
