UNSHAKEABLE HER: Get Promoted by Building Leadership, Influence and Confidence (For Women Done Being Overlooked)
You're already leading. So why does it still feel like nobody's noticed?
Unshakeable Her is the leadership podcast for ambitious women who are done second-guessing themselves in systems that weren't designed for them. Every week we get into the promotion strategies that get you recognised for the leader you already are by exploring the real science of leadership confidence, the unwritten rules of influence, and how to build the kind of presence that makes promotion inevitable.
Hosted by Caroline Esterson - a leadership development specialist with 30 years inside hundreds of organisations, who knows exactly why brilliant women get overlooked and what to do about it.
This podcast offers practical, repeatable ways to build influence, confidence, and career momentum.
Each week you'll learn:
- How to build the visibility and strategic positioning that gets you promoted.
- How to lead with more influence without losing yourself in the process.
- The science behind imposter syndrome in leadership (and what actually shifts it) so you can get promoted.
With new episodes every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, ‘Unshakeable Her’ delivers stories, strategy, and insight to help you become someone nobody can shake.
New here? Episode #7 is your imposter syndrome reset. Episode #56 is where leadership finally clicks.

Have you ever wondered why being trusted, reliable, and great at your job still isn't translating into the opportunities you deserve?
In this milestone 100th episode, we bring together the biggest lessons from this week's series on influence and leadership. You'll discover why promotions aren't just earned through excellent work, how informal moments create lasting influence, and the three practical actions you can take this week to become someone decision-makers can't ignore. Along the way, you'll hear why a determined Belgian Malinois, a career-defining motorway moment, and The Climb by Miley Cyrus all point to the same leadership lesson.
By the end of this episode, you'll learn:
- How to create influence through small, intentional conversations that build stronger leadership relationships.
- Why solving the need beneath the request makes you indispensable instead of simply dependable.
- How one courageous decision to stop "driving away" can transform your confidence, visibility, and career trajectory.
If you're ready to strengthen your influence, grow your leadership, and take practical steps toward the career that's truly possible, this episode will give you a roadmap you can put into action today.
New episodes are released every Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings.
