Career Expert: Why Smart, Hardworking People Still Get Overlooked for Promotions

In this episode, I sit down with Nicole Soames, a leadership and performance coach who works with senior executives, founders, and high performing teams. We talk about emotional intelligence, feedback, and why your ability to communicate, listen, and handle difficult conversations is what truly separates good leaders from elite ones. Nicole explains how leadership is less about control and authority, and more about influence, clarity, and creating the conditions for others to perform at their best. This is a powerful episode for anyone who wants to grow in leadership, improve their confidence in high pressure situations, and build stronger relationships through better communication. 00:00 Intro: What Makes Elite Leaders Different 05:00 Emotional Intelligence in Leadership 10:05 Why Feedback Is a Performance Skill 15:10 The Power of Difficult Conversations 20:05 Visibility vs Quiet Excellence at Work 25:00 Influence Without Authority Explained 30:05 Why Selling Is Really About Helping 35:10 Listening Skills That Change Outcomes 40:05 Psychological Safety in High Teams 45:10 Why Most People Fear Feedback 50:05 Growth Mindset vs Fixed Mindset 55:10 Handling Rejection in Sales and Life 1:00:05 How to Sell Without Being Pushy 1:05:10 Career Progression and Promotions 1:10:05 Redefining Success and Fulfilment 1:14:30 Final Thoughts on Leadership and Balance 🔗 Connect with me LinkedIn:   / jay-lawrence-5a4b3357   Instagram:   / ambitiousmindspodcast   YouTube:    / @ambitiousmindspodcast   Spotfy: https://open.spotify.com/show/6OzMUZk...
