"She's so easy to work with."

Somewhere along the way, that became your job description. And nobody promotes a job description.

Episode 4 of The Power Within Experience names the cost of being the easy one — the woman who always says yes, absorbs the extra work, and keeps the room comfortable at her own expense.

Economists studied it: when a task that never leads to promotion needed doing, women were 50% more likely than men to volunteer for it — and everyone in the room, men and women alike, was more likely to ask a woman to take it. Not because she was the most capable. Because she'd say yes.

Being agreeable is a trait. Being always available is a pattern — one the room learned it could count on.

Peace that requires your silence is too expensive.

In this episode:
• The difference between being liked and being loaded
• Why the easy yes is a tax nobody bills you for
• This week's practice — the Yes Audit: before every yes, ask "Is this promotable, or just familiar?"
