How to Get Into the Rooms You're Not In Yet
2026-06-16
You've watched a colleague get tapped for the senior meeting, the stretch project, the introduction you didn't know was happening. And your first thought wasn't resentment, it was confusion. They know how hard you work. They know what you're capable of. So why aren't they picking you?
Because people don't live in your head, and if you haven't told them where you want to go, they're not guessing.
In this episode, I'm talking about what it actually takes to get access to the opportunities, rooms, and relationships that will move your career forward. It's not about doing more. It's about signaling differently.
In this episode, I'll cover:
Why the people around you are picking whoever raised their hand, not whoever worked the hardest
How to get clear on what you actually want so you can start framing it to the right people
The small actions that get you seen differently without waiting for someone to notice you on their own
