If you've ever finished a big project and wondered "did anyone even see what I did?" then this episode is for you. We're sharing the Document → Distill → Deliver framework that helps early-career professionals build confidence from evidence, and how managers can create cultures where good work doesn't stay invisible.

What we cover: 

• Why "good work speaks for itself" is outdated advice that can stall your career.
