Description

Degrees open doors—but they don’t guarantee promotions. In this episode of UnCeiling You, Dr. Natalie Luke sits down with Brianne Rush, founder of The Independence Lab, to reveal the real drivers of career advancement—curiosity, confidence, and authentic connection.

Brianne shares how she rose from intern to managing editor in one year, the three biggest networking mistakes Gen Z professionals make, and how asking for help can actually accelerate growth.

Together, they unpack why relationships—not résumés—decide who gets noticed, how confidence at work shapes opportunity, and why true leadership development begins with action, not credentials.

🎧 Listen now to learn what really gets you promoted—and how to build a professional network that works for you.
