I used to think promotions were all about hard work until I realized there’s a whole career game happening behind the scenes.
In this episode, I sit down with a former finance executive turned viral career coach to break down what actually gets you promoted and why so many high performers stay stuck, even when they’re doing everything “right.”
She went from 5+ years with no movement to earning five promotions in six years and she’s sharing exactly what changed.
If you’ve ever felt overlooked, undervalued, or unsure how to move up, this conversation will shift the way you see your career.
✔️ Why your career isn’t a ladder and how to make strategic moves that lead to real growth
✔️ What’s really happening in promotion rooms and performance reviews
✔️ Why being visible in the right rooms matters more than being the best
✔️ How to build a personal brand that gets you noticed and advocated for
✔️ What to say when you're asked to take on “stretch” work without doing more for free
Listen now to learn how to play the game and win without burning out or compromising who you are.

I’m Kendall Berg—an internationally published author, TEDx speaker, and career coach who has helped thousands of professionals worldwide get promoted, strengthen their leadership presence, and confidently navigate corporate politics. My own career transformation—from being stuck at the manager level for 5+ years to earning 5 promotions in 6 years—ignited my passion for helping others accelerate their success.
This year, I released my book Secrets of the Career Game: 36 Strategies to Get Ahead in Your Career, which pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to advance—beyond technical skills. The book and my TEDx talk both highlight the often-overlooked “soft skill advantage” that separates those who stay stagnant from those who soar.
