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How outdated identities (who you thought you had to be at 20 or 25) still dictate your behavior in the boardroom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