In today’s episode you’ll discover how to know if you’re being undervalued at work and what to do about it.

Many top talent professionals are burning out not because of a lack of ability, but because they’re stuck in environments that don’t see or leverage their full value. In this episode, Charles Brown shares a hard-hitting, deeply personal conversation on what causes even the most capable leaders and technical pros to feel undervalued—and how to flip that dynamic using clarity, identity, and real-world strategy.

By the end of today’s episode you’ll:

➜ Learn how your true identity shapes your leadership presence—and how misalignment leads to frustration.

🔥Discover the difference between being “nice” and being effective—and how that subtle shift can change your career trajectory.

✅Understand how to apply Lean Six Sigma thinking to your own mindset and value proposition—especially in knowledge work.

Tune in now to learn how to define your value, ditch the people-pleasing, and show up with executive presence that’s rooted in who you really are.

Have you ever felt like you're doing everything right—delivering great work, being the team player—and still, you’re somehow not getting the recognition, promotions, or influence you’ve earned?

It’s not about working harder. It’s about being seen differently.

The truth is, executive presence isn’t about faking confidence or becoming someone you’re not. It’s about turning up the volume on who you already are.

That’s exactly what we do in my 90-Day Executive Presence Mastery System.

You’ll uncover blind spots that are quietly holding you back, learn to communicate with authority without losing your authenticity, and master the four key leadership signals that senior executives recognize and reward.
