🎙️ Episode 183 – From Hidden Talent to Trusted Authority: The Path Most Leaders Skip

In this episode of Success By Design, Tim Madden breaks down a truth few talk about:

Being talented isn’t enough. If you're not positioned as an authority, you're getting overlooked — no matter how strong your experience or results are.

So what's the missing link?

It's not another credential. It's not just working harder. It’s positioning — the intentional shift from "qualified professional" to "undeniable authority."

If you’ve ever thought:

  • “Why am I not being tapped for the bigger opportunities?”
  • “Why does someone with less experience have more visibility than me?”
  • “How do I move from credible… to unforgettable?”

This episode is your blueprint.

đź’ˇ Inside the episode:

  • Why top talent stays hidden in plain sight
  • The authority gap most leaders don’t know they’re stuck in
  • The mindset shift that attracts higher-level opportunities
  • How to package your value so decision-makers can’t ignore it

If you’re ready to become the go-to, not just the capable, this episode shows you the path.
