270: When Your Boss Doesn’t Listen: How to Shift from Frustrated to Heard

Your boss isn’t listening.
You’re delivering results, showing up in meetings, and sharing smart insights
but somehow, it feels like your voice never lands

In this episode of Leading Women in Tech, we’re diving into the deeper reasons why high-performing women are overlooked, unheard, or dismissed — and what to do about it.

We’ll explore how to shift perception, develop executive presence, and lead with influence (without becoming someone you’re not). You’ll learn:

✅ The hidden dynamics that cause leaders to tune you out
✅ The performance vs. perception trap (and how to escape it)
✅ Why strategic communication — not more effort — is the answer
✅ Real client stories of turning it around
✅ 5 leadership tools to speak up and be taken seriously
✅ How to self-coach your mindset and energy to be heard

If you’ve ever said, “my boss doesn’t listen to me” — this episode is for you.
