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their careers, increase their income, and gain recognition without overworking, people-pleasing, or shrinking to fit outdated expectations.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.
Grab your coffee, or reheat it for the third time, and let’s talk about how to grow your career in a way that actually pays off.

81 | Quiet Ambition: How to Lead With Confidence Without Being the Loudest in the Room featuring Patrick Kamba
Today’s conversation is one I cannot wait for you to hear, because if you’ve ever felt the pressure to “speak up more,” “be bolder,” or “make yourself louder” to get ahead… this episode is about to set your nervous system at ease.
I’m joined by Patrick Kamba — executive leader, speaker, and author of Quiet Ambition.
After 20+ years leading global teams in the pharmaceutical industry and mentoring women across the world, Patrick discovered something powerful:
👉 Ambition doesn’t have to be loud to be effective.
👉 Success doesn’t require you to hustle to exhaustion.
👉 Leadership doesn’t mean being the biggest voice in the room — it means being the truest version of YOU.
In this episode, we dive into redefining ambition in a way that feels aligned, sustainable, and grounded — especially for working moms who are tired of feeling like they need to “perform” boldness just to be taken seriously.
In This Episode, We Break Down:
✅ What “Quiet Ambition” Really Means
✅ Why Success Doesn’t Have to Be Loud
✅ Why Women Often Struggle to Claim Ambition Out Loud
✅ The Power of Alliances & Authentic Visibility
✅ Quiet, Calm Confidence in Action
✅ Why Some Women Need a Male Mentor (Yes, Really!)
✅ How to Balance Career Growth With Life at Home
✅ The One Bold Step You Can Take This Week
If You’ve Ever Thought…
➡️ “I’m ambitious… but I don’t want to be pushy.”
➡️ “I know I’m capable, but I hate self-promotion.”
➡️ “I don’t want to hustle — I want to grow in a way that feels aligned.”
➡️ “I’m tired of thinking I need to be the loudest voice to be taken seriously.”
…this episode is going to feel like a warm exhale.
