SisterSmart Leadership – Details, episodes & analysis

That promotion you did not get? It was probably not decided in a performance review. It was decided on a golf course, at happy hour, or in a conversation you were never invited to.

Informal networks at work are where the real career decisions get made and most women are not in those rooms. Research shows that 70 to 80 percent of promotions and high-visibility opportunities are driven by professional relationships, not performance alone. Yet women's networks are 30 percent smaller than men's, and the gap widens at every level of leadership.

In this episode, SisterSmart Leadership Coaches Jill and Sara Spencer break down everything you need to know about building influential professional relationships and developing career sponsorship strategies that actually work. You will learn how to network professionally without feeling self-promotional, how to build strategic relationships when you are working remotely or in a hybrid environment, and how to identify the sponsors and senior leaders who will champion your next promotion.

Whether you are trying to rise from director to VP, get noticed by senior leadership, or simply figure out how to build the kind of network that opens doors, this episode gives you a clear, practical framework to make it happen on your own terms.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:

01:50 -- Why informal networks at work drive promotions more than performance and what you can do about it

04:30 -- The biggest misconception women have about professional relationships building (and the mindset shift that changes everything)

08:45 -- Formal vs. informal networks and which one is actually driving career advancement

11:00 -- How to build the professional networking muscle with just one hour a week

15:30 -- Creative, low-pressure ways to connect that do not require evening events or forced small talk

19:45 -- Hybrid work networking strategies, how to stay visible and build relationships when you are not always in the office

24:00 -- How to map your network and close the gaps that could be holding back your promotion

28:30 -- Career sponsorship strategies, how to identify and build relationships with the senior leaders who will advocate for you

33:00 -- Three action steps you can take this week to start building a network that moves your career forward

THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU IF:

1. You are a woman in leadership who wants to move from director to VP or into senior executive roles
2. You have been waiting for your hard work to speak for itself and it is not working
3. You want professional networking tips that feel authentic, not sleazy or self-promotional
4. You are looking for a career coach for women who understands the real barriers to promotion
5. You want to build executive presence and get noticed by the right senior leaders

Should I stay or should I go?

This is a question many of my clients come to me with. You've invested years at your company, built strong relationships, and know how to do your job well. But something feels off. Maybe you've gotten too comfortable in your groove. Maybe the company culture has shifted. Or maybe you know deep down that you're ready for more.

Our client, Dorothy, a negotiations coach herself, found herself at this exact crossroads. She was working at a large Fortune 500 healthcare organization and knew it was time to move up—but couldn't see clearly whether that meant staying or leaving.

Through our work together, Dorothy overcame her fear, activated her network, and landed a VP role at a fast-growing company where she's now building a supply chain and procurement function from the ground up.

The best part? Her husband noticed she doesn't look stressed anymore—even though she has more work than before. That's the power of finding work that's truly aligned with who you are.

Whether you're stuck in a comfortable groove or wrestling with the stay-or-go question yourself, you'll find inspiration in Dorothy's story.

02:42 — What was really blocking Dorothy from getting the recognition she deserved (hint: it wasn't just the company)

04:42 — The program elements that helped Dorothy get clarity, including the networking strategy that opened up multiple opportunities

09:20 — How Dorothy landed a VP role at a fast-growing company and why she feels re-energized instead of burned out

14:13 — How Dorothy balances her bigger role while staying true to her feminine leadership style

19:49 — The book Dorothy recommends that explains why women struggle with people-pleasing and boundary-setting (and how to overcome it)

Your mental skills are likely what’s holding you back from being a senior leader. 

Our inner emotional life is like a governor for our success, and we need to work through our mindset limitations to avoid getting stuck behind outdated ways of thinking. Our growth gets stunted and our potential gets cut off unless we work to expand our mindset into new territory.

The mental game is every bit as important as being good at your technical skills when it comes to moving up the ladder, and it gets more important the higher you go.

In this episode, Jill shares the 3 areas of mental skills you need to develop in order to earn a senior-level position and thrive in it without burnout or overwhelm. 

02:24 — Uncover your limiting self-beliefs and learn how to rework your neural pathways 

07:50 — How your imposter syndrome is self-sabotaging your career and how to feel worthy of your next step just as you are right now

12:00 — How to let go of rumination and worry so you can lead with a clear mind

Senior and executive leadership roles bring more responsibility, but that doesn’t have to mean taking on more work and sacrificing your personal time or well-being in the process.

In fact, prioritizing work-life balance and self-care becomes more critical as you rise through the ranks because you need the capacity to navigate more challenging situations, lead more people, and make more prominent decisions. 

When Nadia joined the Sisters In Leadership program, she wanted to gain clarity on where she wanted to be 3 roles from now and what opportunities she would need to take to bring that vision to life.

Throughout her time in the program, she learned that it was not only possible for her to continue rising in her career without sacrificing balance — but required. 

If you’ve been working hard to prove yourself, sacrificing family time or time off to get to the next level, tune into this episode to hear:  

03:34 — Why you need to be the one actively shaping the trajectory of your career to end up in senior or executive roles you want 

06:19 — Using a personal strategy retreat to prioritize self-care as a way to further her career

10:08 — How Nadia used her 360 feedback from her company to shift her way of working to align more with her family life 

14:27 — The differences between your corporate program vs. private coaching

19:18 — How to gain clarity on where you want to be 3 roles from now and how to get there

33:37 — Where to find mentors and sponsors and how to be a great mentee

03:01 — Why you need to get comfortable with failure if you want to rise up as a leader 

04:24 — How our brains learn more from experience than success

As women, we easily fall into the mentality of “we have to do it all.” 

But we can’t rise up without the right support. (Or if you somehow muster up the determination to do so, you’ll end up burned out and unsatisfied pretty quickly juggling all those responsibilities).

In this episode, Chumi Khurana, vice president of sales and marketing at J& J Oncology, joins Jill to share how she leaned on support systems from getting started in her career all the way up into senior leadership. 

She shares insights about how our workforce is changing to benefit different working styles, the importance of support and the different shapes it can take, and how you don’t have to fit the mold to earn a promotion. 

04:48 — How one woman's encouragement inspired Chumi to go into pharmaceutical sales 

10:05 — How you can find your own authentic leadership approach without feeling like you have to conform to a mold

13:44 — Why making the decision to go part-time to start a family children doesn’t have to be a career setback and how we as leaders can find solutions for ourselves or our team

16:44 — How you can build the support to raise your family and thrive in your career without having to “do it all”

Whether you received your promotion recently or you want one in the next few months, have you ever felt like you didn't really deserve it? 

This is a common feeling that leaders have,

While men certainly feel this way at times, the problem tends to be bigger for women and underrepresented groups because this feeling of being an imposter can come from feeling like an outsider. 

Plus, women often have to raise their hand to be considered for leadership positions, feel like they shouldn't need to do that, especially when their male counterparts might be selected without having to speak up at all. 

In this episode, Jill and SisterSmart coach, Sarah, talk about psychological hacks that you can use to overcome this feeling of not being good enough. This is something that almost every leader faces at some point in their career and it’s important to learn how to feel secure in your role and like you deserve the step up. 

01:21 — What the "upper limit" phenomenon is and how it self-sabotage us in our careers 

03:19 — The 4 feelings or mental stories you might have when you're hitting your upper limit

08:03 — How to bring awareness to which saboteurs are at play in this situation and how to learn from them instead of feeling controlled by them

16:19 — 3 simple psychological hacks that you can use to overcome this feeling of not being good enough

Do you ever feel like all the eyes are on you and you have more and more fear of making mistakes as a leader and pressure to work harder? 

The higher you go, the higher this pressure becomes, especially for women due to gender bias and socialization.

Many leaders in this situation just work harder and harder, without it ever feeling like enough. 

This might get you to the director level because of your performance, but it won’t help you get into leadership levels. 

That’s because the best leaders know that one person can only do so much and there's a time when we have to let go. But how do you find that line where you can confidently feel like you've done enough without overextending to try to get everything right? 

Tune in to learn: 

01:52 — 5 influences that lead women to take on more work and put more pressure on themselves to “get it all right” 

05:00 — The 3 habits women leaders tend to fall into that sabotage their ability to rise into the leadership levels 

09:46 — How you can identify and practice letting go of your work so you can embrace less, more meaningful contributions

As ambitious leaders rising up in our careers, it’s inevitable to encounter career setbacks along the way.  

Sometimes you have to restart your career because you had kids or you moved to another country. Or maybe you've done everything right and that promotion you were looking for doesn't pan out or you get laid off right on your way up the ladder. 

Many leaders let these kinds of situations get them down. 

But if you can learn how to use your career setback to your advantage, you might find it to be more beneficial than the linear path you originally envisioned. 

Our client, Sally, immigrated from China to the U.S. and had to restart her career with no connections, and with English being her second language. She was also laid off at a role she loved. 

But by seeing the silver lining in getting laid off, she landed a role at a prominent tech company, increased her salary substantially, and earned benefits she didn’t have previously. 

Whether you're facing a setback right now or wanna be prepared for the time when the inevitable happens, you'll find inspiration in her story.

01:51 — What it was like to immigrate from China to the U.S. and start from zero in her career 

09:57 — Getting promoted isn't just about performance and what you also need to think about

17:36 — How Sally handled getting laid off and used it to land a new, more aligned role with a major salary increase, additional benefits, and more room to grow

An employee is only as good as their team.

There have been studies that show this. 

So why is the team dynamic so important?

No one gets to the top alone. Even in roles that might seem like they're solo endeavors like sales. 

We feed off one another and we have a human need to belong to a larger group. And when these interpersonal dynamics are missing, we simply cannot be our best selves. 

In this episode, you’ll discover the most overlooked element of leadership and how you can use it to create a high-performing team. You’ll also learn how it can go wrong so you can avoid common pitfalls. 

01:39 — Why leaders aren't creating as much psychological safety as they think they are 

02:26 — How psychological safety improves your team's performance

05:34 — Why you need psychological safety in both high risk and routine situations

08:17 — How do you develop psychological safety?
