BECOMING VISIBLE

10 Lessons in Leadership, Presence, and Being Seen

By Héctor A. Colón-Rivera, MD

What if your most excellent leadership skill wasn't your title, but your presence?

In Becoming Visible, psychiatrist and national advocate Dr. Héctor Colón-Rivera shares ten unforgettable lessons drawn from a life lived between two worlds, from selling broken toys in Puerto Rico to sitting at the tables where decisions are made. With honesty, heart, and insight, he shows how invisible moments, when no one was watching, became the training ground for authentic leadership.

Each chapter pairs a vivid story with a visual metaphor and a practical takeaway. From navigating private school as a scholarship kid, to listening to silence in a psychiatric ward, to rebuilding boundaries after burnout, Colón-Rivera reveals how leadership isn't about being loud, it's about showing up fully, even when you're the only one like you in the room.

Whether you've been underestimated, asked to shrink, or told to leave parts of yourself behind, this book offers a new model of power: one rooted in presence, integrity, and being seen, without erasure.

You don't have to become someone else to lead. You have to become visible.
