  • Mastering Your Leadership Mindset with Amber Deibert

    • Why imposter syndrome is actually a sign of growth, not failure (and why the opposite is complacency)
    • How to rewire negative thought patterns using neural pathways and visual reminders
    • The exact thought-to-result cycle that's creating your outcomes (and how to interrupt it)
    • Why affirmations and post-it notes actually work, backed by science
    • One simple practice to start shifting your mindset tomorrow

    Amber walks through the science behind our thoughts and why those negative patterns feel so automatic. The good news? You can rewire them. If you've been swimming through your career with ski gear on, this episode will show you how to take it off.

  • Stop Doing “Helpful” Work and Start Doing Promotable Work
    Jan 19 2026

    Being helpful won’t get you promoted. Strategic work will. In this episode, I break down how to identify promotable tasks, stop saying yes to busy work, and start making VP-level decisions. Download my free Task Audit at morewomenpromoted.com/audit.

    If you’re saying yes to everything at work, that might be the exact reason you’re not getting promoted.

    In this episode, I walk through how to identify promotable vs non-promotable work, why being the most helpful person on the team often leads to invisible effort, and how to start demonstrating VP-level judgment before you ever have the title. You’re not being selfish. You’re being strategic.

    What You’ll Learn

    • Why being the most helpful person on the team is not what gets you promoted
    • How I identify promotable vs non-promotable tasks in my own work and with clients
    • The signals busy work sends about your leadership readiness
    • How to push back on low-value requests without hurting relationships
    • Why you need to make VP-level decisions before you’re ever a VP
