Position your expertise so capital, boards, and opportunities come to you.
Executives and founders aren’t failing because of lack of skill.
They’re failing because they’re invisible in the rooms that matter.
- Invisible: A strong CV isn’t enough. If you’re not in the right rooms, you don’t exist.
- Undervalued: Years of experience don’t translate into enterprise value without a story.
- Replaceable: ’20+ years of experience’ is no longer a compelling pitch. Results, frameworks, and proof are what sell.
👉 The cost? Missed board seats. Discounted exits. Ventures that never get traction.
And the reason is simple: the game itself has changed.
- AI has commoditised content. Posting is easy. Proof, perspective, and IP are the only things that cut through.
- Personal branding is no longer enough. Influence scales through frameworks, not selfies.
- Succession gaps mean expertise is trapped in heads, not systems. Systemised knowledge is what creates enterprise value.
- Consulting is flooded. Everyone has “20+ years of experience.” The market buys results, not résumés.
So if you feel invisible, undervalued, or replaceable — it’s not your fault.
The market has changed. And the old playbooks don’t work anymore.
Why the few break through
They don’t post more. They don’t chase followers.
