Have you ever walked into a meeting fully prepared, only to realize the decision was already made without you?

You're not alone.

In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on the hidden dynamics of workplace power plays. You'll meet Rachel, a talented leader blindsided by decisions made behind closed doors, and Jack, who feels invisible despite putting in the work.

Together, we'll break down why simply doing good work isn't enough and how you can proactively shape conversations and secure buy-in before the meeting even starts.

You'll learn:

• Red flags you're being shut out of important conversations
• How to identify and connect with key influencers early
• Practical steps for securing allies and building your inner circle
• How to position your ideas so they're impossible to ignore
