You work hard, but it feels like no one notices. Promotions pass you by. Loud, extroverted coworkers seem to rise faster. And with layoffs and DEI cuts making career growth even harder, it’s easy to feel stuck.

That’s exactly what happened to Lissa Appiah, a career coach who was passed over for an opportunity—despite being the most qualified person for the job. Instead of staying frustrated, she created a strategy, repositioned herself, and landed FIVE promotions in eight years.

In this episode of Career Clarity Unlocked, 5x Certified Career Clarity Coach Theresa White and Lissa break down how introverts, women, and overlooked professionals can:

✔ Get noticed without self-promotion or faking extroversion

✔ Navigate workplace bias & position themselves for leadership

✔ Stand out in a post-DEI workplace without feeling inauthentic

✔ Turn frustration into action & create real career momentum

If you’ve ever felt undervalued, unseen, or stuck in your career, this episode is for you.

✔ Why introverts get overlooked for promotions—and how to change that

✔ Why your work isn’t speaking for itself (and what to do instead)
