When Reliability Holds You Back (S9:Epi 247)
Episode description
Are you being passed over for promotions despite being the go-to person everyone counts on? In this episode, we dive into the surprising downside of being too reliable at work.
While dependability is a strength, it can sometimes box you into a support role instead of positioning you as a strategic leader. We explore why being the "fixer" or “hidden gem” might actually be holding you back - and what to do about it. You'll learn how to shift from doing to leading, speak about your work in terms of impact, and advocate for your future role, not just your current one. If you've ever felt stuck in a role because you're "too good to lose," this episode is your playbook for breaking out of the reliable-but-overlooked cycle and stepping into the spotlight where your leadership belongs.
