The Inner Strategist
The Inner Strategist is a podcast for ambitious high achievers- mid career professionals who are overlooked and stuck in the invisible worker trap and first time managers similarly overlooked but stuck in the powerless leader trap. I share the real workplace stories so that you aren't blindsided by the people, the politics and the power that will derail you unless you see the game and strategise your way around it- without changing who you are. Full of everything you've ever wanted to know on how to succeed in the workplace, The Inner Strategist is your go to for thinking smarter without working harder.
