The Upgraded Leader Podcast
The Upgraded Leader Podcast is for high-performing corporate women who are ready to get promoted - without burning themselves out to do it.
If working harder actually got you promoted… you’d already be there.
Hosted by executive coach and HR Director Nicole Case, this podcast breaks down what it really takes to move from high performer to Director, VP, and beyond.
Each episode gives you the strategy, mindset shifts, and real-world insight to:
- Get out of the weeds and be seen as a strategic leader
- Build a team that actually performs without you in the middle of everything
- Communicate with confidence up, down, and across your organization
- Position yourself as the obvious next choice for promotion
No fluff. No “just work harder” advice. No corporate clichés.
Just honest, actionable leadership guidance from someone who’s been in the room where promotions actually happen.
If you’re ready to stop being overlooked and start operating at the next level -this is your next move.

#55: You Don’t Need a New Year - You Need a Reset
