    Episode 80 - The ladder myth - why career ‘climbing' is outdated
    Mar 12 2025
    Is the traditional career ladder holding you back?


    In this episode of Career Espresso, your host Amanda challenges the outdated "career ladder" metaphor that dominates so many development conversations. If you've ever felt like a failure for not getting a promotion, worried that a lateral move means "giving up," or stressed about "falling behind" after taking time off—this episode reveals why those feelings stem from an obsolete framework that no longer serves us.
    What you'll discover


    ➡️The historical context - Learn why the career ladder metaphor, which emerged in the 1950s, doesn't align with modern career trajectories where the average person holds 12-15 jobs in their lifetime.➡️ The three major problems with ladder thinking and how it creates tunnel vision, unhealthy comparison, and ignores structural barriers—especially for women➡️ Real-world transformation - Hear the compelling story of "Elise," who discovered that her ladder-focused mindset had blinded her to a landscape of possibilities that ultimately led to greater success and fulfillment➡️ Modern alternatives to the ladder - Explore three powerful new metaphors, the Career Lattice, Career Portfolio, and Career Jungle Gym—backed by Harvard Business Review research showing that "zigzag" careers often lead to greater leadership roles


    Including practical takeaways you can implement immediately -


    ✅ A 15-minute exercise to redefine success beyond titles and promotions✅ Strategies to develop a "T-shaped" skill profile that combines depth and breadth✅ Techniques for building a multi-dimensional network that provides more opportunities than vertical connections alone
    Whether you're facing a career transition, feeling stuck in your progression, or simply questioning if there's a better way to approach your growth, this episode provides the framework to break free from outdated thinking and embrace a more expansive, authentic approach to career development.

    Episode 79 - Rethinking Imposter Syndrome - why you are not the problem
    Mar 5 2025
    Is "Imposter Syndrome" holding you back—or is something else going on?
    In this eye-opening episode of Career Espresso, your host Amanda challenges the conventional wisdom around this pervasive concept and reveals why labeling these feelings as a "syndrome" might be part of the problem, not the solution. Drawing on research and real-world examples, Amanda exposes how the popular understanding of Imposter Syndrome places the burden of workplace inequality on women's shoulders rather than addressing the systemic issues at play. You'll discover-



    ➡️ The surprising origin story of "Imposter Phenomenon" and how it transformed from a research observation into a catch-all term➡️ Compelling data showing how women's "imposter feelings" are often rational responses to real workplace dynamics➡️ Three pervasive myths about Imposter Syndrome debunked with current research➡️ Practical strategies for reframing your experience and building strategic alliances
    This episode is essential listening if you've ever questioned your belonging in a workplace and especially for women who are in male-dominated industries who may have been told their feelings of doubt are just a psychological issue they need to overcome.
