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.

#107 | What Hybrid Work Has Accidentally Deleted From Your Leadership Toolbox & How It's Killing Your Influence & Promotion Potential: Leadership, Influence & Promotion
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Are you doing everything "right" at work but still feeling less visible, less influential, and further away from your next promotion?
Hybrid work has transformed the way we collaborate, but it has also quietly removed the informal moments where trust, relationships, and leadership influence are built. In this episode, you'll discover why being constantly connected doesn't necessarily create real connection, why ambitious professionals—particularly women—can be disproportionately affected, and how one simple leadership habit can strengthen your influence without adding another meeting to your calendar.
By listening, you'll discover:
- Why hybrid work has unintentionally reduced the everyday moments that build influence, trust, and promotion potential.
- How the "disconnection paradox" is affecting leadership presence and what it means for your career progression.
- A simple leadership shift that helps you create stronger relationships, increase your visibility, and improve your promotion potential—even in remote and hybrid environments.
If you want to build stronger influence, increase your visibility, and protect your promotion potential in today's hybrid work environment, this episode will give you practical insights you can start applying immediately.
New episodes are released every Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings.
