What routing looks like
Give them the outcome they need to understand.
Routing means getting a specific outcome to the person whose read on you shapes a real decision. The worksheet helps you name the outcome, identify that person, and choose what to say.
The activity
“I kept an eye on that migration.”
The outcome
“The migration did not cause an outage, because I caught the config error two days before it shipped.”

Inside The Routing Habit
A method you can return to.
Work through the worksheet with Laurie’s walkthrough, under 15 minutes.
Map your rooms.
Identify the three to five people whose decisions affect your career, and the work they haven’t seen.
Find your words.
Use twelve patterns for situations like shared credit, technical work, and the fear of sounding like you’re bragging.
Notice what lands.
Recognize signs that your message was understood, and know what to adjust when it wasn’t.
Build the practice.
Route one specific outcome a week for four weeks. Review your lines as you go and make them more precise.
Laurie takes you through the worksheet and the common places people get stuck doing this alone.
Is this your next step?
For work that needs to travel further.
Use this when the people who shape your next opportunity don’t yet understand what your work changed.
- You do meaningful work that stays inside your immediate team.
- You can describe what you did, but struggle to name why it mattered.
- You want a specific practice you can repeat each week.
Developed from the live workshop exercise. The walkthrough refers back to that exercise and guides you through the expanded worksheet.

What if I’ve already been told I’m too visible?
The worksheet addresses that too. It helps you distinguish a visibility gap from a precision gap, so you can focus on specific outcomes and adjust how often you communicate them.
