    They Know Your Name - But Do They Trust Your Thinking?

    Why real career growth comes from being know for insight, not availability. You can work hard, be reliable, build relationships, and still feel invisible when real decisions are made. This episode isn’t about networking harder, being louder, or putting yourself “out there” more.It’s about what actually creates influence in serious, decision-driven careers. In this conversation, we unpack: Why most networking advice is built for the wrong career path. The difference between being relied on and being trusted. How thoughtful professionals earn influence without hustle, politics, or self-promotion. What it really means to become a trusted advisor, not a lone wolf, and not the team’s safety net. How asking the right questions can matter more than doing more work. If you’ve ever wondered why some people get pulled into leadership conversations while others - just as capable - don’t, this episode will give you clarity and a different way forward. This is about strategic trust.And it might change how you think about your career. 🎧 Listen now and start shifting from being known for delivery to being trusted for insight.
