Career Growth for Working Women | Career Advancement, Overwhelm, Clarity, Visibility, Burnout Recovery
Do you feel stuck in a role you have outgrown, but unsure how to make your next move without risking your reputation or burning out?
Are you doing high-level work, carrying invisible responsibility, and still wondering why your impact is not reflected in your title or pay?
Do you know you are capable of more, but feel unclear on how to position yourself for a promotion or raise without working even harder?
Are you tired of waiting to be noticed and ready to be compensated for the value you already bring?
You are in the right place.
Career Growth for Working Women is the podcast for ambitious corporate women who want to advance their careers, increase their income, and gain recognition without overworking, people-pleasing, or shrinking to fit outdated expectations.
I am Shannon, a Promotion and Compensation Coach, and I help women fast-track their next promotion by teaching them how to show their value so clearly that leadership cannot overlook them.
Through my 5% Method, we focus on positioning you for meaningful raises, promotions, and career growth because when you consistently perform above and beyond, your pay should too.
Each week, you will get honest conversations, practical strategy, and mindset shifts around career advancement, visibility, burnout recovery, confidence, and compensation so you can grow your career sustainably and strategically.
Grab your coffee, or reheat it for the third time, and let’s talk about how to grow your career in a way that actually pays off.
