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.
