Repetition Builds Recognition (Even When It Feels Redundant)

By Jacqueline M. Baker | May 18, 2026

5/19, Jacqueline M. Baker One of the biggest blockers to visibility is the fear of repeating yourself.

In this episode of Just Start:…

The Consistency Myth: It’s Not About Doing It Every Day

By Jacqueline M. Baker | May 12, 2026

5/12, Jacqueline M. Baker We often think visibility requires a big moment, a major announcement, a milestone, or the perfect opportunity. But the truth is, visibility doesn’t begin there. It begins in the small, consistent ways you choose to show up, whether that’s in a meeting, a conversation, your work, or online. In this episode,…

Who Are You Without Your Title? Identity Beyond the Career

By Jacqueline M. Baker | April 14, 2026

4/14, Jacqueline M. Baker This episode challenges a powerful but often invisible barrier: many people don’t get visible because they’ve tied their identity to a title, role, or organization. So when that title shifts or disappears, they feel unsure of what they actually have to say or offer. Building on Marc’s retirement story from episode…

By Jacqueline M. Baker | March 25, 2026

3/31, Jacqueline M. Baker In this episode of Just Start: Get Visible, I’m reframing self-care as more than a moment—it’s an infrastructure.
