The Executive Silence Audit

A 2-minute honest look at whether the outside world knows what you already know.

You've earned your credibility. The board trusts you. Your team trusts you. The room trusts you.

But here's the uncomfortable question: does anyone outside that room know what you actually think?

Most executives assume visibility takes care of itself — that good work eventually gets noticed. It doesn't. Not anymore. The executives winning trust, deals, and talent right now aren't necessarily the sharpest in the room. They're the ones whose thinking is findable.

This audit takes two minutes. It won't flatter you. It will tell you exactly where you stand.

Answer honestly. Your score unlocks at the end.
01
FINDABILITY
If someone typed your name into Google right now, would they find your point of view on your industry — not just your title and your company bio?
02
RECENCY
Have you published, posted, or been quoted saying something substantive in the last 90 days?
03
DISTINCTIVENESS
When you last spoke publicly or posted online, could a competitor's name have been swapped in for yours without anyone noticing?
04
INITIATION
Do journalists, podcast hosts, or conference organizers come to you — or do you find yourself always asking?
05
INTERNAL-TO-EXTERNAL TRANSFER
Think of the last strong opinion you shared in a leadership meeting. Has that same opinion ever made it outside the building?
06
OWNED ASSET
If your company disappeared tomorrow, would your professional reputation survive intact on your own name — or does it live entirely inside the org chart?
