What do you say when you feel stuck or overlooked at work and are not sure what to do next?

In this episode of the Career Intelligence Podcast, Meredith Dinitz sits down with Justin Hale, keynote speaker, trainer, and coauthor of Crucial Accountability, to talk about the conversations many professionals tend to put off and how those missed conversations can quietly stall career growth.

Together, they break down what it actually looks like to advocate for yourself at work, especially when you feel stuck, overlooked, or unsure of your next move.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing the work but not getting recognized, unsure how to communicate your value, or questioning whether it’s time to stay or move on, this episode will give you a practical starting point.

In this conversation, they cover:

How to communicate your value so it actually resonates
What to say when asking for feedback, a promotion, or more responsibility
How to respond to feedback without shutting down
How to think through whether to stay or move on
How AI is showing up at work and how to stay relevant
