To see if my Executive Presence Mastery System 90-day coaching intensive is right for you, set up a strategy call here.
What if the reason less qualified people get promoted while you—someone who delivers miracles—stay overlooked… isn’t because they’re louder, but because they’re adding value in ways you don’t even see?
If you're a high-performing introvert who's tired of watching others get the credit and advancement you’ve earned, this episode reveals the missing piece most people overlook: you're not just under-visible—you’re under-valued in the eyes of leadership. This episode shows you how to bridge that gap without faking confidence or turning into someone you're not.
By the end of this short episode, you’ll know:
- Why trying harder at self-promotion will probably backfire
- Three ways your executive presence adds visible value to any conversation
- Simple, low-stakes ways to advocate for yourself without feeling fake
Hit play now to learn how to turn your results into recognition—and finally get the leadership opportunities you deserve.
If you've ever said, “I practically run this place, but I’m still not the one they promote,”—listen, you're not alone. But you're also not stuck.
The truth is: promotions don’t go to the loudest voice—they go to the most trusted presence. And if leadership doesn’t see you as the person who can lead 300 people without breaking a sweat, it’s time to show them.
That’s why I built the Executive Presence Mastery System—a 90-day intensive that gives you the tools to build visible value, speak with energy, and lead with meaning—without selling out your personality.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
