Most people think career success is ALL about working harder. It’s not. It’s also about how you’re perceived, how you communicate, and whether the right people see your value. And no one is taught these rules.

In this remix episode of Tiger Sisters with Lorraine K. Lee and Leah Wyar, we bring together two of our most impactful conversations to break down the invisible dynamics that determine who gets promoted, trusted, and listened to at work.

Executive presence expert Lorraine K. Lee explains how body language, communication, and visibility quietly shape credibility. Media and Entertainment Leader Leah pulls back the curtain on what actually happens inside organizations — the politics, the pressure of climbing, and the emotional labor no one prepares you for. This episode is for anyone who’s doing great work but feels overlooked, underestimated, or stuck.

We share:

✅ Why hard work alone doesn’t lead to promotion

✅ How perception quietly determines influence and opportunity

✅ The body language and communication habits that signal leadership

✅ Why visibility compounds — and how to build it intentionally

✅ How to navigate loyalty, boundaries, and self-advocacy without burning bridges

✅ What executive presence really means in real life and on Zoom

This isn’t about becoming louder or more aggressive. It’s about learning the unspoken rules so you can move with clarity and confidence — on your own terms.
