Episode Details

Think working harder and letting your work "speak for itself" will get you promoted? Think again.

Meet Claire Seeber, leadership consultant, career coach, and author of "Less Hustle, More Happy," who's about to flip everything you've been told about career advancement on its head. After 15+ years in HR working with organisations worldwide, Claire discovered that most people are only operating with 50% of the career success equation.

In this episode, Claire reveals the career currency framework that's helped thousands of professionals go from stuck to strategic, shares her incredible story of resilience (including being stranded on a boat for 11 weeks during COVID), and breaks down exactly how to build the visibility and relationships that actually drive career progression.

If you've ever felt frustrated about being overlooked for opportunities despite your hard work, this conversation will change how you think about career strategy forever.
