    "I didn't get the promotion. What gives?”

    Amanda did everything right—at least, that’s what she thought.

    She worked hard, followed the advice she was given, and waited for her moment… but when promotion time came around, she was passed over. Again.

    Sound familiar?

    If you’ve ever felt stuck, overlooked, or frustrated because your hard work isn’t translating into career growth, this episode is for you.

    We’re breaking down:
    ✅ A silent trap that keeps high performers stuck
    ✅ Why waiting to be noticed is a losing game
    ✅ One simple habit that makes your achievements undeniable

    Most people assume that if they work hard, their work will speak for itself. But work doesn’t speak—people do. And if you’re not tracking your wins, your manager probably isn’t either.

    🎧🔥 Listen now and to grab your free ‘Wins Log’ poster and documentation e-guide.

    Because never again should your hard work go unnoticed.

    Do you feel safe enough to play at work?

    What if the secret to better leadership, breakthrough ideas, and stress-free decision-making was as simple as playing?

    In this episode of Lead with Levity, Dr. Heather Walker sits down with high-performance coach Tracy Clark to explore how intense curiosity, radical open-mindedness, and proactive experimentation can shift leaders out of stress mode and into their most creative, strategic thinking.

    Tracy shares how two simple words—"Let's play"—can break through tension, unlock fresh solutions, and create a culture where teams thrive. We also dig into the Multiplier Mindset, why so many leaders unknowingly stifle innovation, and how small shifts in the way you ask questions can lead to massive breakthroughs.

    If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to unlock the full potential of your team (or yourself), this episode is for you.

    🎧 Tune in now to discover:

    ✅ How to turn stress into possibility

    ✅ Why play isn’t just for kids—it’s a leadership superpower

    ✅ The mistake leaders make when trying to encourage creativity

    ✅ How to gamify your team meetings (without it feeling forced)
