Show Notes

Most capable women aren't being passed over because they lack experience. They're being passed over because they can't articulate the problems they solve.

After 12 years sitting on the other side of the hiring table, I'll tell you the truth: the women who get chosen aren't always the most experienced. They're the ones with the clearest story.

In this episode, I break down the 6-step framework I use inside the Bold Move Career Accelerator to help senior women build a positioning story that makes them undeniable.
