From Overlooked to Empowered – £50 Off Podcast Listeners Aspire & Achieve by Jodie Mears

I know what it feels like to be overlooked, to work tirelessly behind the scenes and wonder if my contributions were truly valued. For years, I played it safe, staying in the background until I realised that visibility isn't about shouting the loudest, it's about owning your value. That realisation changed everything. I built my personal brand, stepped into strategic conversations, and transformed my career, and now, I help others do the same. That's why I created https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/special-edition-newsletter-jodie-mears-finstam-aqage/, a mentoring & coaching program designed for assistants ready to move from support to strategic partner. What past participants say:

💬 "I could not have got to where I am without your help. You were instrumental in helping me navigate my next move." 💬 "Your session reignited my passion for personal branding, something I had let slip this year. I'm excited to get back into it!"

💬 "The way you combine enthusiasm with practical, relatable advice made such a difference. I've already started implementing the learning!"
