Little Moves, Big Careers

Episode 1 BONUS: Don't wait to be managed - Take control of your career.

Caroline Esterson from Inspire Your Genius

If you've ever felt like your manager was more “in the way” than “in your corner,” this one’s for you.

In this sharp-tongued but clear-eyed bonus episode, Caroline takes us on a safari through the modern workplace zoo, spotting characters like The Deflector, The Bouncer, The Squirrel, The Chameleon, and yes, even the elusive Amplifier.

It’s not about moaning. It’s about naming the pattern so you can stop internalising the chaos and start working around it like the savvy human you are.

Learn how to:

  • Handle managers who deflect, dodge, and disappear
  • Respond (not react) to dodgy leadership
  • Use E + R = O (Event + Response = Outcome) to take back control
  • Amplify yourself—even if no one else is

You’ll laugh, wince, and probably recognise a few of your former line managers… but most importantly, you’ll leave equipped with cheeky scripts, smart strategies, and a whole lot more control over your career than you thought you had.

Because waiting to be noticed? That’s a system that’s failed you before.
 This time, you’re moving first. With style.

Listen now and reclaim your agency, one bold move at a time.
