Welcome to another empowering episode of the Women in Leadership Podcast! I’m Annemarie Cross, and today, I’m joined by an extraordinary leader who knows firsthand what it takes to take charge of your career and step into your full potential - Dr. Karen Hills Pruden. In today’s episode, she’s sharing the exact strategies that helped her stop waiting for promotions, stop settling for limitations, and start creating her own opportunities. And if you’re feeling stuck or uncertain about your next career move, don’t worry - Dr. Karen is bringing her signature frameworks designed to help businesses and individuals stay competitive, resilient, and ready to navigate any challenge. Get ready to shift your mindset and embrace the leader within you! Here are the key takeaways: Become the Pilot of Your Career: Dr. Karen shared her own experience of waiting for a promised promotion that didn’t materialize. Her takeaway? Don’t just be the copilot. Take charge and actively manage your career. Step up and have those crucial conversations. Visibility Creates Opportunity: Want to grow professionally or get that next promotion? Volunteer for projects and committees. This gives you the chance to showcase your skills and get noticed by key decision-makers, opening doors you may not have even considered. Overqualification Is a Myth: Dr. Karen stresses that being overqualified should not be a deterrent. Instead, view it as added value. Employers should see it as a bonus of experience and skill that can bring immediate benefits. CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION:   Continue the conversation about this podcast episode over on our Community!
