The invisible factor keeping high performers stuck

You’re hitting your targets.

You’re seen as “reliable.”

But somehow, the opportunities keep going to someone else.

In corporate environments, this is rarely about capability.

It’s about something subtler running in the background:

Saying yes when you want to say no, then resenting the workload

Playing small in meetings, then wondering why you were overlooked

Doing the work, but not owning the room

Carrying an old fear of “not being enough” into every performance review

In my recent conversation on the Beyond Well podcast with Sheila Hamilton, we unpack how these unseen patterns silently shape your career:

How unexamined fears drive overworking, perfectionism and people-pleasing

Why you can be outwardly successful and still feel invisible or undervalued

The three questions I give leaders to get to the real reason they’re stuck

How outdated identities (who you thought you had to be at 20 or 25) still dictate your behavior in the boardroom

Why genuine change doesn’t have to take years of “working on yourself”

If you’ve ever thought, “I know I’m capable of more, so why am I still here?”, this episode will speak to you.
