Innovation flourishes where vision meets visibility—and yet many entrepreneurs, particularly from underrepresented communities, struggle to have their innovations seen, understood, and supported. This session introduces the VISIBLE™ Framework (Voice, Identity, Spotlight, Inner Work, Belief, Leverage, Elevation) as a leadership toolkit for inclusive entrepreneurship. Participants will explore real-world examples where founders built stronger pitch narratives, fostered stakeholder trust, and leveraged visibility to access resources and scale. Through interactive discussion, case studies, and actionable guidance, attendees will walk away with strategies to communicate purpose with confidence, elevate their ideas authentically, and strengthen their entrepreneurial impact in competitive and global markets.
