If you’ve ever watched someone less skilled get chosen over you, this episode will change how you play the game.

We’re unpacking why “great work” doesn’t automatically create opportunity, and what actually does.

📌What’s Covered:

• The “Quarterly Five” concept: the small circle that quietly determines your next opportunity.
• Networking without feeling fake: the real line between building relationships and “using people”.
• The hidden rules of the career game: what nobody teaches, but everyone’s rewarded for knowing.
• Posting on LinkedIn when you’re employed (or building a business): how to grow your brand without triggering backlash, or breaking company trust.

Kendall Berg is an internationally published author, TEDx speaker, and career coach dedicated to helping professionals master the career game and accelerate their success. After experiencing her own transformation from being stuck at the manager level for over five years to earning five promotions in six years, she became passionate about empowering others to navigate corporate politics and build their leadership presence.
