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their careers, increase their income, and gain recognition without overworking, people-pleasing, or shrinking to fit outdated expectations.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.

121 | Why Being the Go-To Person Isn’t Getting You Promoted featuring Limor Berman Gross
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you are the go-to person at work, why does it still feel like your career is moving slower than it should?
In this episode, we are unpacking a hard truth for high-performing women. Being reliable, capable, and the person everyone depends on does not automatically lead to promotion.
In fact, it can sometimes keep you exactly where you are.
I am joined by Limor Bergman Gross, a former Director of Engineering who spent over 20 years in tech leading global teams. After becoming the person everyone relied on, she realized that being indispensable did not translate into visibility, influence, or advancement.
That realization changed everything.
Now, Limor helps women in tech move from execution to leadership by focusing on visibility, strategic thinking, and influence instead of overworking and overdelivering.
In this conversation, we break down what actually shifts your career forward and why hard work alone is no longer the lever at higher levels.
In this episode, we cover:
✅ Why being the go-to person can quietly stall your career
✅ The difference between execution and strategic leadership
✅ How overworking keeps you stuck in contribution mode
✅ Why delegation is essential for leadership growth
✅ The visibility gap that most high-performing women miss
✅ How to build influence without waiting for a title
✅ The mindset shift from doing more to thinking bigger
