Leadership isn’t just about managing a team; it’s navigating the complexities of internal relationships and consistently advocating for your growth.

How to Get What You Want
The Meeting Mistake That Makes You Forgettable
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Think about the last time you had something to say in a meeting and didn't say it. Maybe you were waiting for the right moment. Maybe someone else was talking and you thought you'd jump in after. And then the conversation shifted, and the moment passed, and someone else said something close enough to your idea that everyone moved on without you.
That's not just a missed moment. It's directly connected to getting what you want in your career. Every time you stay silent, you're leaving other people to define what you bring to the table. And the story they tell about you is usually not the one you'd choose.
In this episode, I'll cover:
- Why silence isn't neutral and what people actually think when you don't speak up
- How to shift your perspective so you stop defending your silence
- Practical ways to get your voice in the room, even when you don't feel ready
