    3. Build Your Personal Brand at Work: Get the Recognition and Promotion You Deserve

    Struggling to get promoted or recognized for your work? Your performance might not be the problem. Your visibility is. Most high-performers think hard work speaks for itself. But the truth? Promotions and recognition go to people whose impact is understood, remembered, and advocated for. Research shows 71% of high-potential employees attribute their promotions to being noticed by senior leaders—not just performing well. In just 15 minutes, you'll learn: • The Personal Brand Sweet Spot: How to find the intersection between what you're great at and what leadership actually needs right now • The 3 Harmful Myths: Why "my work will speak for itself" and other beliefs are keeping high performers stuck and invisible • Strategic Visibility Tactics: Practical ways to increase recognition without doing more work—the dos and don'ts that actually move the needle • The Psychology of Promotions: Why certain names come up when leaders are handing out promotions, high-visibility projects, and opportunities. Stop working harder. Start working smarter with strategic visibility.

    2. Networking for People Who Hate Networking

    If the word "networking" makes you cringe, you're not alone—but you can't ignore it. I know it feels awkward, transactional, and maybe even fake. But here's why it matters: 85% of jobs are filled through networking, not because those people are more qualified, but because they're more connected. In this episode, I'm sharing how I landed seven of my eight jobs through my network—and more importantly, how you can do the same without feeling salesy or uncomfortable. In just 15 minutes, you’ll learn: • How to overcome the 3 most common networking dreads that keep high performers stuck • Why your next big break might come from someone completely outside your industry • The exact conversation starters and follow-up scripts that get responses without sounding desperate • How to turn every meaningful conversation into 1-2 more connections • The biggest mistakes that make networking fail (and how to avoid them) [DOWNLOAD THE EPISODE WORKSHEET & CHEAT SHEET HERE]  Loved this episode?
