Career Growth for Working Women | Career Advancement, Visibility, Promotion, Raises
Do you ever feel like you're doing everything "right" at work, yet you're still being overlooked?
Maybe you're leading projects, solving problems, mentoring teammates, and delivering results, but your title and paycheck haven't caught up with the value you create.
Maybe you're wondering why someone else was promoted when you know you've been making a bigger impact.
Or maybe you're simply tired of waiting for someone to finally notice everything you bring to the table.
If that sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
Welcome to Career Growth for Working Women, the podcast that helps high-performing women become impossible to overlook and the obvious choice for raises, promotions, and leadership opportunities.
I'm Shannon Fox, Promotion & Compensation Coach, and I believe one simple truth:
You're not being overlooked because you lack talent. You're being overlooked because your impact isn't positioned clearly.
Every week, I'll help you learn how to strategically communicate your value, increase your visibility, navigate workplace dynamics, and position yourself for career opportunities that align with your strengths, your values, and the life you want to build.
Because getting promoted isn't about working harder.
It's about making it easier for leadership to recognize the value you're already creating.
Whether you're preparing for a raise, pursuing a promotion, navigating office politics, building executive presence, or simply trying to figure out your next career move, you'll find practical strategies, honest conversations, and coaching that you can immediately apply.
We'll talk about career positioning, visibility, leadership, confidence, burnout, boundaries, compensation, AI, networking, and what it really takes to grow your career without sacrificing yourself in the process.
So grab your coffee, or reheat it for the third time, and let's build a career that supports the life you want, pays you what you're worth, and makes you impossible to overlook.

100 | What 100 Episodes Have Taught Me About Women, Work, and Why So Many Careers Stall
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What actually keeps capable women stuck at work?
After 100 episodes, one pattern shows up more consistently than anything else. And it is not confidence, ambition, or effort.
It is mispositioning.
In this milestone episode, Shannon reflects on what hundreds of conversations with working women have revealed about career growth, leadership perception, and why so many successful women feel stalled even when they are doing everything right.
This episode bridges the evolution of the show, from conversations centered on working motherhood to a broader, more honest look at women’s careers across life stages. Because the patterns that hold women back do not start with motherhood. They start with how value is interpreted at work.
In this episode, you will explore:
✅ Why so many women are trusted, relied on, and appreciated but still not elevated
✅ The most common ways women create value at work and why some forms are easier for leadership to recognize than others
✅ How being successful on paper can still feel heavy, confusing, or misaligned
✅ The difference between performance and positioning and why effort alone often stops working
✅ Why women internalize career friction that was never personal
✅ What changes when you stop asking “What am I doing wrong?” and start asking “How is my value being read?”
Most women do not need to become more confident, more visible, or more ambitious.
They need their value to be legible.
When leadership cannot easily name how you create impact, growth slows. Not because you are failing, but because your contribution does not fit neatly into the boxes they already know how to reward.
Your career is not supposed to feel like constant effort.
At a certain point, the strategy that got you here expires. And that does not mean you failed. It means you are ready for positioning instead of proving.
This episode is not about fixing yourself. It is about understanding what 100 conversations have made clear about women, work, and what actually allows careers to move forward with clarity and sustainability.
