  • Stop Being the Back-Up Leader
    Feb 18 2026
    Stop Being the Back-Up Leader

    You fix the problems. You keep things moving. You make leadership look good.

    So why aren’t you the one getting promoted?

    If you’re the dependable high performer everyone leans on — but no one considers when it’s time to elevate — you may not be overlooked.

    You may be positioned as the back-up leader.

    In this episode of It’s Time to SOAR: From Unstuck to Undeniable, Coach Katina unpacks the hidden pattern that keeps capable professionals stuck in support roles instead of strategic ones.

    Because here’s the hard truth:

    Being essential is not the same as being promotable.

    Drawing on research from Personnel Psychology and real-world leadership coaching experience, this episode explores why supportive, behind-the-scenes problem solving can actually reduce how promotable you’re perceived to be — even when you’re already doing the job.

    Inside this episode:

    • Why high performers accidentally train people to bypass them • The difference between visible leadership and silent execution • How “helper mode” can stall your career growth • What to do instead if you want to be seen as strategic • How to reposition your leadership without betraying who you are

    If you’ve ever thought:

    “Why wasn’t I even considered?” “I’m already doing the work.” “Do they not see what I’m carrying?”

    This episode will give you language — and a strategy.

    Reflect on this:

    Where are you showing leadership that no one can actually see?

    If this resonates, share it with someone who’s tired of being the reliable one and ready to become the undeniable one.

    And if you’re ready to reposition your leadership presence for promotion, connect with Coach Katina through the links in the show notes.

    Hey you… it’s time to soar.

  • You're Not Stuck You're Unpositioned: Why High Performers Don't Get Promoted
    Feb 11 2026

    You are not stuck. You are not behind. You are not incapable.

    You’re unpositioned.

    If you’ve been working hard, exceeding expectations, and still watching other people get promoted, this episode is for you.

    In the Season 3 premiere of It’s Time to SOAR: From Unstuck to Undeniable, Coach Katina breaks down the uncomfortable truth most high performers are never taught:

    Talent gets you in the room — but positioning determines what happens next.

    Most workplaces do not reward effort alone. They reward visibility, perception, advocacy, and strategic presence. And when you don’t understand that shift, you can unknowingly position yourself as essential… but invisible.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • Why high performers often become overlooked • The difference between being helpful and being strategic • How burnout begins with invisibility, not workload • Why “waiting your turn” can quietly stall your advancement • The invisible snag that may be holding you back

    According to Gallup’s Global Workplace Report, only 21% of employees worldwide are engaged. That means the majority are producing — but not positioned for influence.

    If you’ve ever asked: “When is it my time?” “Why didn’t I get the promotion?” “Do they even see me?”

    This episode will give you language — and strategy.

    Reflect on this: How are you currently positioned, and who benefits from you staying there?

    If this resonates, share it with a colleague and subscribe so you don’t miss what’s coming next.

    It’s time to reposition your voice, your value, and your leadership presence.

    Hey you… it’s time to soar.
