Send a textWhen someone asks what you're working on, you say "I'm managing the Q1 launch" or "I improved retention by 15%." That's the problem. When you talk about "managing" or "improving," you signal execution ability, not strategic leadership. If you talk like a doer, you'll be kept in a doing role. In this 5-minute episode, Kele Belton gives you the exact promotion-proof statement formula to reframe your work and signal strategic impact at the executive level.What This Episode Is AboutYou're doing VP-level work but not talking about it in VP-level language, and that gap is costing you promotions. Kele breaks down the three-part formula that transforms how you communicate your contributions: Start with "I identified" (proactive problem-solving), state the business result you created (outcomes, not activities), and demonstrate multiple areas you impacted (systems thinking). This isn't about changing what you did. It's about changing how you talk about what you did.What You'll LearnThe promotion-proof statement formula: Three parts that signal strategic impact instead of task executionReal before-and-after examples of how to reframe your work using executive-level languageHow to demonstrate systems thinking and cross-functional ROI (the #1 skill C-suite looks for when promoting)Your action step: Rewrite three current projects using the formula and practice saying them out loudWho This Is ForWomen leaders being praised for their work but not promotedHigh-performing professionals doing VP-level work on a Director's salaryAnyone ready to shift communication from execution-focused to strategic impact-focusedAbout Your HostKele Belton is a communication and leadership trainer, coach, and speaker who specializes in helping women leaders develop confidence and impact through strategic communication and practical leadership frameworks.Connect with Kele for more leadership insights:•LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kele-ruth-belton/•Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetailoredapproach/•Website: https://thetailoredapproach.com

Send a textA mid-level Director delivers an AI-generated presentation that looks flawless on the surface until the CEO starts asking real follow-up questions about implementation, trade-offs, and stakeholder impact. Suddenly, the limits of AI are exposed. It can draft the slides and script the talking points, but it cannot supply judgment, relationship capital, or strategic instinct. That gap is where promotions are decided and where replacements are too. What this episode is aboutAI is democratizing competence: anyone can use tools to generate strategic memos, slide decks, and data visualizations that look “senior.” Being technically excellent is no longer a differentiator; it is the new baseline. At the same time, major consulting firms are cutting thousands of roles as AI absorbs work that used to belong to junior and mid-level professionals, underscoring how vulnerable execution-only careers have become. If you are only using AI to get through your task list faster, you are still operating in execution mode. In this episode, Kele shows you how to use AI to clear the noise so you can double down on what AI cannot replicate: your Presence, your Perspective, and your Positioning, what she calls the Three Pillars of your AI-Proof Leadership Brand.What you'll learnWhy AI is raising the floor on competence and turning technical skills into the starting line, not the finish line, for your career.The real leadership moment behind the “perfect” AI-generated presentation and what actually separates who gets promoted from who gets replaced.What your leadership brand really is (not your job title or LinkedIn headline) and how it shows up when you are not in the room.The Three Pillars of Your AI-Proof Leadership Brand, Presence, Perspective, and Positioning, and why AI fundamentally cannot replicate them.Practical ways to strengthen your Presence and Perspective so you are known for how you think, decide, and show up in high-stakes moments.How to intentionally position yourself and your AI use so your value is visible, strategic, and clearly differentiated in an AI-driven workplace.Mentioned in this episodeIgnite Your Leadership Power Accelerator: Stop executing and start architecting your move to senior leadership.

Send a textIf you say yes to everything, you are not being helpful. You are signaling that your time is unlimited and your priorities are negotiable. In the eyes of senior leadership, that is a liability, not an asset. High-achievers who remain stuck in execution mode often struggle with this because they confuse availability with value. In this Monday Momentum episode, Kele Belton provides the exact script you need to say no strategically. Learn how to protect your capacity while increasing the respect you command in the office.What this episode is aboutExecutives do not look for the person who does the most work. They look for the strategic leader who can protect the company's most valuable resource: focus. When you say yes to everything, you are training people that your bandwidth has no limits. Today, Kele breaks down the four-part framework for declining requests while demonstrating executive-level thinking. This is not about being difficult. It is about treating your bandwidth like a finite budget and making trade-offs visible.What you will learnThe Signaling Trap: Why unlimited availability is a liability and how to transition from a super-doer to a strategic leader.The Strategic No Script: A four-part framework to decline requests with authority while validating the requester's trust.Capacity vs. Busyness: Why "at capacity" is a high-status signal that treats your time as a finite executive resource.Executive Trade-offs: How to use strategic language to make resource allocation visible and protect your professional reputation.Mentioned in this episodeIgnite Your Leadership Power Accelerator: Stop executing and start architecting your move to senior leadership.

Send us a textIf your manager is not proactively advocating for your career advancement, you are missing a promotion and a significant pay raise. In the C-suite, compensation follows command. If you are not visible, you are being underpaid for the value you provide.WHAT THIS EPISODE IS ABOUTHigh-achieving women often assume that working harder and proving themselves more is the only path to senior leadership.

Send us a textYou are in a high-stakes meeting making a critical point, and suddenly you realize you have been talking for minutes straight. You see a peer check their phone; you see a stakeholder's eyes glaze over. Your instinct is to apologize or trail off, but in senior leadership, that is a power leak. It is time to trade the apology for a strategic reset.WHAT THIS EPISODE IS ABOUT Welcome to the inaugural Monday Momentum episode: a new weekly series designed to give you one high-impact strategy in five minutes to start your week strong.Please note: These Monday episodes are a new addition to our schedule.

Send us a textWhen people at work describe you as "the reliable one" or "the person who gets things done," those labels sound like compliments. But if those same descriptions are keeping you from getting promoted, you've been typecast. In this episode, Kele Belton reveals the R.E.F.R.A.M.E. Method, a strategic seven-step process for resetting your professional reputation and repositioning yourself when decision-makers have put you in a box that's too small for where you're headed. You'll learn how to break out of the mental category people have created for you and start being recognized for your full leadership potential.What This Episode Is AboutYou've been exceeding expectations for years, but when leadership roles open up, your name isn't on the list. When strategic projects are assigned, you get the execution work instead of the visioning work. And somehow, you're never part of the "high potential" conversation. In this powerful episode, Kele breaks down why this happens (you've been typecast based on what you do repeatedly) and walks you through the exact strategic process for dismantling the old perception while building a new one. You'll hear the story of a client who transformed from "detail-oriented implementer" to "strategic problem solver" in just one month, and how that shift opened doors to leadership roles she'd been overlooked for.What You'll LearnHow to identify the specific label or box people have unconsciously assigned you at work (and why recognizing this pattern is the first step to breaking free).The R.E.F.R.A.M.E. Method: A complete seven-step framework for strategically repositioning your professional brand when you've been typecast.How to establish your new professional vision by defining the 3-5 specific qualities and capabilities that position you for the role you want next.Strategic opportunity selection: How to say yes to different work (not more work) that showcases your new identity in visible ways.How to amplify your new professional identity through consistent, visible actions that create an undeniable pattern.Why enlisting strategic allies is the most powerful (and most overlooked) step in repositioning yourself, and exactly how to approach these conversations.Mentioned In This EpisodeIgnite Your Leadership Power Accelerator: A 12-week group coaching program for women in middle management ready to step into senior leadership.

Send us a textYou have the data. You have the insight. You know the answer. But while you are double-checking your notes to be 100% certain, someone with half your experience speaks up and claims the idea.Does this sound familiar?For many women leaders, over-preparation isn't just a habit; it's a survival strategy that has morphed into a barrier. We often tell ourselves we are being "thorough" or "strategic," but in reality, we are operating from fear—the fear that if we aren't perfect, we aren't qualified.In this episode, Kele Belton dismantles the myth that more preparation equals better leadership. We explore the dangerous difference between strategic diligence and fear-based delay, and why the behaviors that got you promoted early in your career might be the very things preventing you from reaching the C-suite today.If you find yourself rewriting emails five times, building 60-slide decks for 15-minute meetings, or staying silent until you have "all the answers," this episode is your permission slip to stop proving yourself and start leading.What You Will Learn:The "Maya" Case Study: How one director went from freezing in executive meetings to earning a senior leadership promotion by reducing her prep time.The T.R.U.S.T. Framework: A 5-step tool to move you from analysis paralysis to confident contribution.Strategic vs. Fear-Based: How to identify if you are preparing to add value or preparing to avoid risk.The "First 10 Minutes" Rule: A simple challenge to shift how you are perceived in high-stakes meetings.Scripts for Uncertainty: Exact phrases you can use to sound authoritative even when you don't have all the data.Key Quotes:"Over-preparation isn't perfectionism. It's fear wearing a very convincing disguise.""While you're preparing, someone else is contributing. While you're perfecting, someone else is influencing.""Your goal isn't to be perfect and unchallengeable. Your goal is to be prepared enough to represent your expertise."Resources Mentioned:Work with Kele: Schedule your complimentary Leadership Strategy Call HERELeave a Review: If you loved this episode, please leave a review here.About Your Host:Kele Belton is a communication and leadership facilitator, coach, and consultant who specializes in helping women leaders develop confidence and impact through strategic communication and practical leadership frameworks.Connect with Kele for more leadership insights:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kele-ruth-belton/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetailoredapproach/Website: https://thetailoredapproach.com

Send us a textYou just got the calendar invite. Company holiday party. Tuesday night. 6 PM.Your immediate reaction isn't excitement—it's a mental calculation. You are weighing the cost of a babysitter and dry cleaning against the sheer exhaustion of making small talk with people you already see on Zoom 40 hours a week. Your brain is screaming, "I would rather be anywhere else," but your professional guilt says, "I have to go."If your current plan is to stand in the corner, eat a stale canapé, and leave as soon as possible, you are paying an energy tax with zero return. Your time is your most valuable asset—so if you're going to spend it, let's make sure you get a return on that investment.What This Episode is About In this episode of Communicate to Lead, host Kele Belton dismantles the "obligation" of the corporate holiday party and rebuilds it as a strategic opportunity.We are moving beyond "survival mode." Kele explains why holiday parties are distinct communication environments where the hierarchy is flatter, the guards are down, and business gets done in the gray areas. Whether you are aiming for a promotion, trying to bond with a new team, or looking for "skunkworks" projects that haven't been announced yet, this episode gives you the permission and the playbook to work the room on your own terms.And for the introverts? Kele shares her personal strategy for conserving energy, skipping the small talk, and executing the perfect "exit strategy" without guilt.What You Can Expect to Learn:The "ROI" Framework: How to choose one of three specific missions for the night: Deepening Alliances, Strategic Visibility, or Intel Gathering.The Introvert's Advantage: Why introverts are actually better at strategic networking than extroverts (if they have a plan).Conversation Starters that Work: Specific questions to ask senior leaders and cross-functional peers that move past "How about this weather?" and demonstrate intellectual curiosity.The "Skunkworks" Strategy: How to use informal chatter to discover career opportunities and projects that haven't hit the company newsletter yet.The 48-Hour Golden Thread: The exact email template to send after the party to turn a casual chat into a formal business connection in January.Resources Mentioned:Book a Call: Ready to enter 2026 with a clear communication strategy?

Send us a textYou committed to speaking up more in meetings. You lasted three days. Now it's been three weeks, and your inner critic is convinced you don't have what it takes to lead at the next level.Sound familiar? Here is the truth that changes everything:You do not have a capability problem. You have a recovery problem.Most leaders think the key to success is discipline—never falling off the wagon. But the reality is that executives fall off just as often as middle managers. The difference is speed. A middle manager takes three months to recover; an executive recovers in three hours.In this episode, I am breaking down exactly why you keep starting and stopping your professional development initiatives, and I'm introducing The Quick Recovery Method—a 4-step framework specifically designed to help you stop the shame spiral and build real momentum.In this episode, you will learn:The "Discipline Myth": Why relying on willpower to stay consistent is a guaranteed strategy for failure.The 4-Step Framework: How to use the "Recognize, Reframe, Replace, Restart" method to get back on track in minutes, not months.The "Bridge Thought" Strategy: How to bypass toxic positivity and find the specific thoughts that actually move you into action right now.The Black Friday Trap: Why buying another planner or leadership course won't fix your follow-through problem (and what actually will).If you have a graveyard of half-finished goals and are ready to stop beating yourself up for being human, this episode is your reset button.Resources & Links:Book a Complimentary Leadership Clarity Call with Kele About Your Host:Kele Belton is a communication and leadership facilitator, coach, and speaker who specializes in helping women leaders develop confidence and impact through strategic communication and practical leadership frameworks.Connect with Kele for more leadership insights:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kele-ruth-belton/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetailoredapproach/Website: https://thetailoredapproach.com

Send us a textThere is a massive difference between being polite and being strategic.Most women leaders are courteous. They say "thank you" and acknowledge hard work. But most miss the specific leadership opportunity that separates middle management from executive leadership: Strategic Appreciation.Real influence isn't just about delivering results; it's about building a network of professional goodwill that becomes currency when you need it most. When you shift from generic gratitude to specific, impact-focused recognition, you stop being just "nice" and start positioning yourself as a leader who understands outcomes and elevates the people around you.In this episode of Communicate to Lead, Kele breaks down exactly how to use strategic appreciation to strengthen relationships and build your leadership brand. With Thanksgiving week approaching, there is no better time to implement this low-stakes, high-impact strategy.In this episode, you will learn:The "Polite vs. Strategic" Trap: Why generic "thanks for all you do" emails are noise, not leadership, and how to shift your approach.The 5 Categories of Influence: The specific people you need to appreciate this week (including the one category most women overlook).The 3-Part Framework: A simple formula for writing recognition messages that land with impact and make you memorable.Career Positioning: How this 10-minute practice signals executive presence and gets you advocated for in rooms you aren't in.Next Steps:This Week's Assignment: Identify 3-5 people from the categories discussed in the episode and send them a message using the 3-Part Framework before the holiday break.About Your Host:Kele Belton is a communication and leadership facilitator, coach, and consultant who specializes in helping women leaders develop confidence and impact through strategic communication and practical leadership frameworks.Connect with Kele for more leadership insights:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kele-ruth-belton/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetailoredapproach/Website: https://thetailoredapproach.com

Purple Pants Podcast: Split The Vote | SLAMvivor The stage is set. Tim & Rob dig into Episode 7 of Survivor 49, where the game flips into a whole new lane: the merge has arrived, old alliances collide, and the chase for an advantage gets real.— In this episode:• Buffs Dropped, Game Changed: The tribes finally unite and the merge officially hits, forcing players to reassess loyalties and recalibrate their strategy. • The Key to Advantage: A hidden-key search unlocks a chest advantage ahead of the first individual immunity challenge — we break down who found it and what that means for power dynamics. • Double-Agent Moves: Players from the original Kele tribe (specifically Sage Ahrens‑Nichols, Jawan Pitts & Steven Ramm) plot to infiltrate the dominant Uli alliance. We explore their risks, motivations and whether this is bold or reckless. • Advantage Unused?: An important “Knowledge Is Power” advantage remains unplayed when the individual immunity challenge looms. We ask: why wait? And what will the fallout be? • Spotlight Players: We highlight one player whose gameplay shines this week — and one whose position may be more fragile than ever.• Torchy Awards: Because it wouldn't be a Split the Vote episode without a moment deserving a “torch drop” — we pick the moment that gave us chills. Whether you're here for the strategic mechanics or the emotional undercurrent, this breakdown of Survivor 49 Episode 7 has got you covered.  You can also watch along on Brice Izyah's YouTube channel to watch us break it all down https://youtube.com/channel/UCFlglGPPamVHaNAb0tL_s7g Previously on the Purple Pants Podcast Feed:Purple Pants Podcast Archives LISTEN: Subscribe to the Purple Pants podcast feed WATCH: Watch and subscribe to the podcast on YouTubeSUPPORT: Become a RHAP Patron for bonus content, access to Facebook and Discord groups plus more great perks!

Tribal immunity is no longer... it's now every castaway for themselves! Jeff, Jeremy and Jay react to the big moments from the merge, beginning with the choice to place the castaways at Kele beach. Jeff explains the calculus behind which beach the players will live on during the individual stage of the game. Then, Jeremy takes us into what it's really like to jostle for position on a beach filled with everyone, and how factions and sub-alliances shift with every conversation. Next, the merge advantage sent everyone scrambling through the jungle to find keys. The guys go behind the scenes as Jeff details how the crew uses a zone coverage tactic to capture the mayhem. Later, Jeff talks through the decision to merge the tribe before the challenge, and gives the details why he told the players that spots for Survivor 50 were still up for grabs. Plus, boulders! How does the Survivor art department create those giant objects that castaways must maneuver and climb? And, your questions, including whether Jeff has ever slipped up and revealed any Survivor secrets to the press.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a textBook your Leadership Strategy CallYou're praised in every performance review. Your manager can't stop saying how "invaluable" you are. But somehow, the promotion never comes. The raise never materializes. And you're left wondering if you're ungrateful for feeling frustrated by all that "appreciation."Here's what nobody's telling you: Gratitude is being weaponized to keep you stuck. This episode exposes exactly how it happens—and gives you the framework to stop it.What This Episode Is AboutIn this episode, we tackle the single most frustrating paradox for women in leadership: being praised but not promoted.You're "invaluable" but not invaluable enough for a new title. You're "appreciated" but not appreciated enough to be paid what you're worth. This is the Recognition-Reward Gap, and it's a systemic pattern that keeps talented women stuck.We'll explore why women receive subjective praise ("great team player!") while men get objective, results-focused feedback that leads to promotions. This isn't just a bad performance review; it's a form of "gratitude fatigue"—the exhaustion that comes from being thanked instead of being advanced. We'll break down the real costs of accepting "thank you" as currency and give you the framework to stop it.Resources Mentioned[COACHING PROGRAM] The Ignite Your Leadership Power Accelerator: Ready to turn this pattern around?
