🎙️ Podcast Episode Description

What if your strongest work is not enough to earn the executive opportunity you deserve?

In Episode 770 of the Find Your Leadership Confidence Podcast, host Vicki Noethling sits down with leadership coach, Ivy League MBA, SisterSmart® founder, and Fortune 100 coach Jill Avey to explore why so many accomplished women still feel invisible at work—and what it takes to become influential at the leadership table.

Jill reveals the hidden barriers that can keep high-achieving women in the “Stuck VP” phase, explains what executive presence truly means, and shares practical strategies for getting seen, heard, and promoted without sacrificing authenticity. She and Vicki also discuss how mindset, strategic visibility, authentic networking, and leadership communication work together to create career momentum.

Whether you are preparing for your next promotion, moving from vice president to the executive level, or seeking greater influence in your current role, this conversation will help you lead with more clarity, confidence, and presence.
