Have you ever felt overlooked for a leadership promotion you knew you were ready for? Maybe it wasn’t about performance—it was politics, favoritism, or simply being out of the “inner circle.” In this episode, I open up about my own experiences being passed over in public education and the lessons I learned through it all.

You’ll hear:

• Why being overlooked doesn’t define your leadership value

• How to navigate workplace politics without losing your integrity • What to do when favoritism clouds fair promotion decisions

• Mindset shifts that keep you motivated, focused, and growing in the meantime

• Practical steps to keep building influence and credibility for your next opportunity

If you’ve ever questioned whether your effort is noticed or your time will come—this episode will remind you that being overlooked is temporary, but being prepared is permanent.
