In this episode of Resource Revolution, the focus is on leadership visibility, influence, and why doing great work isn’t always enough. How do you build a reputation that gets you noticed, and find the champions who will advocate for you when you’re not in the room?

Host Christine Robinson is joined by Rob Brown, Founder and podcast host of Accounting Voices, author, media host, and industry moderator. Having interviewed more than 1,000 leaders across the accounting profession, Rob brings a unique perspective on what separates the good from the great.

Turning the tables and taking the guest seat, Rob shares practical lessons on building visibility and credibility, finding the champions who can open doors, and navigating the politics of professional services. Along the way, he challenges resource leaders to think beyond the work itself and consider how they communicate their value across the wider business.

Doing great work matters. But there’s another side to leadership: making your value visible and building influence around it.
