UNSHAKEABLE HER: Get Promoted by Building Leadership, Influence and Confidence (For Women Done Being Overlooked)
You're already leading. So why does it still feel like nobody's noticed?
Unshakeable Her is the leadership podcast for ambitious women who are done second-guessing themselves in systems that weren't designed for them. Every week we get into the promotion strategies that get you recognised for the leader you already are by exploring the real science of leadership confidence, the unwritten rules of influence, and how to build the kind of presence that makes promotion inevitable.
Hosted by Caroline Esterson - a leadership development specialist with 30 years inside hundreds of organisations, who knows exactly why brilliant women get overlooked and what to do about it.
This podcast offers practical, repeatable ways to build influence, confidence, and career momentum.
Each week you'll learn:
- How to build the visibility and strategic positioning that gets you promoted.
- How to lead with more influence without losing yourself in the process.
- The science behind imposter syndrome in leadership (and what actually shifts it) so you can get promoted.
With new episodes every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, ‘Unshakeable Her’ delivers stories, strategy, and insight to help you become someone nobody can shake.

#94 | 3 Small Leadership Moves To Instantly Elevate Your Influence and Make You An Obvious Pick For Promotion.
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if the biggest obstacle to your next promotion isn't a lack of talent—but the fact that you're trapped in reactive mode?
If you're constantly busy, solving problems, attending meetings, and keeping everything moving, you may feel productive. But are those activities actually increasing your visibility, influence, and opportunities for promotion? This episode explores why so many talented leaders get stuck in a cycle of doing rather than thinking—and how a small shift in focus can create a massive impact on your career.
Through the story of Sarah, a high-performing sales director, you'll discover how challenging one long-standing team habit unlocked better conversations, stronger leadership moves, and greater influence across her team.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- How reactive work patterns quietly reduce your visibility and limit promotion opportunities.
- Why questioning inherited processes can dramatically increase your influence as a leader.
- The simple leadership moves that create space for strategic thinking, better ideas, and stronger results.
Listen now to discover how one small shift in focus can help you build more influence, make smarter leadership moves, and position yourself for promotion.
New episodes are released every Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings.
