Episode 265: Do you actually know the job you're pursuing? 05.01.2026 19:23
Most people think they're stuck because the market is crowded or the timing is bad. But there's a more uncomfortable reason promotions keep slipping past otherwise strong leaders. It has nothing to do with effort, ambition, or even qualifications. It's about a blind spot that shows up long before interviews start, and quietly disqualifies people without them realizing it.

Episode 264: Does it really take all that to land the role? (Part 2 - INTERNAL PROMOTION) 27.12.2025 23:55
"Stella, should I have to do all this to land VP or C-Suite roles? I have never had to do this to land any other roles in my career.

And it's not because I didn't have an opinion (I have lots of opinions on lots of things I choose to stay quiet on ;-) ) It's because I don't speak on topics until I've done my own thinking first. In my next message, I'm sharing my unfiltered answer about AI, leadership, and what it actually mea...

Episode 257: Are your best career wins (days) behind you? 10.11.2025 20:13

Maybe it just needs a different kind of fuel. I recorded an...
