What if the reason you’re not getting promoted isn’t your performance, but your visibility?

In this episode, I sit down with Tamara Jackson, former Vice President at a Fortune 500 financial institution, to talk about what it really takes to rise in a male-dominated environment without burning out or becoming someone you’re not.

Tam shares the career habits that helped her hold 13+ roles over 25 years, including the one word she credits most for her growth: coachability. We also talk about how women can stop over-interpreting tone, ask better clarifying questions, and build strategic relationships that create real momentum.

And in a powerful turning point, Tam shares why losing her mom in 2023 became the catalyst to leave corporate and build her next chapter.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to adapt communication without shrinking yourself

• A simple way to ask for feedback that accelerates promotions

• Why “doing great work” isn’t enough, and what to do instead

• How introverts can build visibility with one-to-one strategy

• The mindset shift that helps you stop waiting to be chosen
