If you’re a woman in midlife ready to stop playing small at work and start getting recognized for your true value, this episode is for you.

On this powerful episode of Secrets of Powerful Women, host Jill Conway sits down with Dr. Candace Steele Flippin, career strategist, bestselling author, and founder of the Global Career Advancement Institute, for an eye-opening conversation about what truly holds women back in the workplace—and how to break through.

Together, they unpack:

• ​What self-efficacy really means and why it directly impacts your career success
• ​The mindset shifts required to achieve financial independence
• ​How to navigate and overcome systemic workplace biases
• ​Why hard work alone isn’t always enough—and how to align your efforts with decision-makers
• ​The power of using your voice through negotiation, visibility, and leadership

Dr. Flippin also shares real-world strategies for building confidence, advocating for yourself, increasing compensation, and developing leadership presence—especially for women over 40 who are redefining their careers and their worth.
