If your calendar is overflowing but your career feels stuck, this episode is for you.
You’re not alone in the busyness trap. For so many high-achieving women in tech, doing more has always felt like the way to get ahead — but it’s not what gets you promoted.
In this episode of the Leading Women in Tech Podcast, we’re unpacking the truth behind prioritizing impactful work, the hidden gap between performance and promotion, and how to build the kind of executive presence that actually gets noticed.
If you’re ready to stop being the go-to person for everything and start focusing on what truly shifts your career — this episode will show you how to lead smarter, not harder.
