✅ Becoming the CEO of your career isn't just a mindset shift—it’s the proven strategy for professionals and entrepreneurs looking to accelerate growth, earn more, and take control of their future.

Whether you're stuck in a role that undervalues you or you're building a business without traction, this episode delivers actionable insights from career coach and TEDx speaker Kendall Berg. Kendall went from being overlooked in her corporate job to being promoted five times in six years—and now she helps others unlock the unspoken strategies of workplace success.

In this episode, we cover how to escape the corporate plateau, how to build strategic relationships, and how to use effective communication to influence promotions and performance. If you're Googling “how to get promoted,” “why hard work doesn’t pay off,” or “how to grow my career,” this is the conversation designed for you.

🔍 Kendall shares how professionals can apply an entrepreneurial mindset inside the corporate world, why many fail to get promoted despite being the hardest workers, and how to navigate office politics authentically. She also explores how AI and automation will change the nature of work—and why leadership and communication are more important than ever.

If you're tired of waiting for someone to notice your efforts—or you’re building a business and hitting invisible walls—this episode will show you how to communicate your value, build influence, and finally take charge.
