Speaking Your Brand: Public Speaking Tips and Strategies24 Nov 2025

Build a Career Brand That Opens Doors with Kate Wade of Get Her Hired

Whether you’re in corporate aiming for your next big role or an entrepreneur looking to attract higher-value opportunities, this episode gives you the clarity and strategy to move forward.

I’m joined by my friend and career strategist Kate Wade, founder of Get Her Hired, who brings her signature mix of humor, candor, and deeply practical insight.

Together, we unpack why talented women get stuck, how to craft a powerful career narrative, and what it really takes to position yourself for bigger stages, promotions, clients, and visibility.

Kate and I talk about:

Why being “good at everything” keeps women from advancing
The difference between features and benefits in your career story
How to find the throughline in your background and experiences
The hidden ways women make themselves indispensable — and how it backfires
What recruiters say is actually happening in the job market
How to have career-advancing and opportunity-advancing conversations
What AI can help you with in résumé writing — and what it definitely can’t
The problem with AI-written speaker applications (and why they all sound the same)
Kate’s new résumé course Hit Send — with a generous discount for listeners
