About This Podcast
Are you an ambitious woman who's been stuck at the sr. manager or director level, watching peers advance despite your consistently stellar performance? Do you find yourself drowning in back-to-back meetings, unable to carve out time for lunch, much less time for professional development?
You are not alone. Breaking through to the executive level isn't about working harder—it's about transforming how others perceive your leadership.
Join Katy McFee, a former tech executive and Forty under 40 winner turned leadership coach. Through her leadership programs, Forbes.com writing and keynote speaking, she's empowered hundreds of women to secure promotions and thrive in their roles. When she's not helping over 100,000 women on social media crush their career goals, she's raising 3 kids and running ultramarathons—proving that resilience isn't just a buzzword, it's a lifestyle.
Each week on More Women Promoted, dive into practical strategies for navigating career challenges: advancing to the next level, overcoming gender bias, balancing motherhood, preventing burnout, and thriving as an executive—on your terms. Learn how to transform from a go-to executor to a respected, confident strategic leader who belongs in the boardroom.
