Career growth doesn’t always come from chasing the next title. Sometimes it starts by simply raising your hand.

In this episode of Momentum with Kyle Morgan, powered by MPI, Kyle sits down with Alicia Warren to talk about the experiences, decisions, and small opportunities that helped shape her career from an entry-level role in banking to leadership.

Alicia shares why being willing to learn beyond your job description matters, how mentors can help you develop the skills you may not see in yourself, and why letting people know you’re ready for more can open doors you never expected. She also shares the story of how one simple email asking for an opportunity led to her first branch manager role and changed the trajectory of her career.

They also explore knowing when to say yes, when to say no, learning from failure, and building your skills so you're prepared when the right opportunity comes along.

The takeaway: successful careers aren’t built by chasing titles. They’re built by consistently creating value, earning trust, and being ready when opportunity arrives.

Create Value. Create Momentum.
