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.

104 | Working Harder Won’t Get You Promoted Anymore
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you ever felt like the harder you work, the less it seems to move your career forward?
You stay late.
You take ownership.
You carry more than your share.
And yet… things feel slower. Heavier. Stalled.
If you are a high-performing woman who built your career on effort, reliability, and excellence, this episode will hit.
Because there is a stage in your career where working harder does not make you more promotable.
It makes you more utilized.
And those two things are very different.
In this episode, we unpack:
✅ Why effort equals reward early in your career but not at higher levels
✅ The difference between being promotable and being highly utilized
✅ Why leadership promotes perceived impact, not visible exhaustion
✅ How over-functioning quietly caps your advancement
✅ The shift from effort to value clarity
✅ Why positioning matters more than performance at the next level
If you feel trusted but not elevated…
High potential but not advancing…
Valued but still proving yourself…
You are not underperforming.
You are likely using a strategy that has reached its ceiling.
This conversation reframes career stagnation for ambitious women who are ready for authority without over-efforting.
Because the next level is not unlocked by carrying more.
It is unlocked by making your value unmistakably clear.
If this resonates, listen closely. This is the shift that changes everything.
