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.

115 | When Success Stops Feeling Like Success featuring Dr. Angela Kerek
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What happens when the version of success you worked years to achieve no longer feels right?
What if the title, the promotion, or the milestone you thought would fulfill you only feels satisfying for a moment before the next goal appears?
Many high performing women spend years chasing external measures of success. Promotions. Titles. Revenue. Recognition. But eventually a quiet realization starts to surface. If success is always defined by the next win, the finish line never actually arrives.
In this episode, Shannon sits down with Angela Kerek, former professional tennis player turned finance lawyer and now entrepreneur and performance coach. After leaving Eastern Europe at 16 with one bag, Angela spent eight years competing in professional tennis before rebuilding her life again through law, eventually becoming a partner advising on billion euro transactions.
On paper, she had reached the definition of success. But internally, the definition of winning began to change.
Angela shares how high achievers often tie their identity to performance and external validation, and why redefining success from the inside becomes essential for long term fulfillment and sustainable leadership.
Together they explore how leaders can continue performing at a high level while creating a definition of success that is stable, personal, and not dependent on constant external wins.
In This Episode We Talk About:
✅ Why external success can start to feel empty even when everything looks right on paper
✅ How elite sports and high pressure careers train us to chase constant winning ✅ The identity trap many leaders fall into when their work becomes their worth
✅ Why redefining success internally creates more sustainable high performance ✅ How repetition and mental training build stronger mindset habits
✅ What to do when your current definition of success no longer fits your life
If you have ever wondered why reaching the next milestone does not feel the way you expected, this conversation will help you rethink what it means to truly win.
