If you're doing everything right at work — showing up, delivering high-quality work, being dependable — and your career still isn't moving forward, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I break down why hard work alone stops driving career growth at a certain level, especially for women of color who were taught that reliability and execution would naturally lead to advancement. I explore how our conditioning — from school systems to early career experiences — trained us to believe that effort equals reward, and why that belief starts to fail as leadership expectations change.

You'll hear why being the go-to person can actually keep you stuck, how blending in at work can feel safe but limit your growth, and why leaders don't promote based on effort alone — they promote based on clarity, positioning, relationships, and impact. I also share personal stories from my own career that illustrate how naming what you want (not doing more work) is often what changes your trajectory.

This episode is an invitation to stop waiting to be noticed and start treating your career like a leadership system — not a classroom.

00:00 Why Hard Work Stops Working at Higher Levels

08:00 From Student Mindset to Leadership System

18:30 Being the Go-To Person vs. Being Positioned

27:30 Camouflage, Visibility, and Career Survival

34:00 Naming What You Want and Changing Your Trajectory

If you're doing strong work but feel stuck when it comes to visibility, influence, or career direction — my 1:1 leadership coaching is designed for you.

I work with introverted women of color who want to grow their careers without performing, overworking, or becoming someone they're not. Together, we focus on clarifying your direction, strengthening key relationships, and understanding how leadership decisions actually get made — so your hard work leads to real movement.

Welcome back to Leadership Beyond the Title!

Today's episode walks you through one of the most pivotal moments of my career — a moment that could have damaged my reputation, limited my opportunities, and changed the trajectory of my work… if I didn't intervene.

If you've ever worried about what a senior leader thinks of you, felt misjudged by someone with power, or wondered how to advocate for yourself without burning bridges — this episode is your roadmap.

Inside this episode, you'll learn:

✨ The exact moment a senior leader questioned my competence — and why I refused to let that narrative stand

✨ How I turned an uncomfortable, high-pressure situation into long-term executive support

✨ Why stopping the "executive pedestal effect" instantly boosts your confidence

✨ The 3-part framework that helped me shift the relationship:

• Conversation — communicating with conviction
• Connection — building trust without hierarchy
• Invitation — transforming tension into mentorship

✨ How to communicate clearly (even when the stakes feel high)

✨ What most people misunderstand about executive presence

✨ Why avoiding difficult conversations costs more than having them

✨ How to read disengagement, avoidance, and mixed signals with discernment

You'll also hear how this experience changed the way I approach leadership forever — and why anyone can use this process to get noticed, respected, and supported by senior leadership… even if you're introverted, quiet, or not the "typical" leader in the room.

If you're ready to move from overlooked to undeniable — without performing, pretending, or becoming someone you're not — this episode will show you exactly how.
