Jolt Your Career with Teegan BartosNo One Cares More About Your Career Than You: The Leadership Shift Every Executive Needs to Make with Andrea McNamara Singsaas, ACC, MBA, PMPExecutives rise because of influence and visibility.

The moment a leader stops owning their voice, their value becomes easy to overlook. The same dynamic shows up for leaders trying to break into executive ranks. They pour everything into hard work and hope someone notices. But hope is not a strategy, and working harder is often the easiest way to stay invisible. Influence moves careers forward. Silence holds talented people back at every level.
