We wait. For permission. For someone to notice. For the timing to be right. But the truth is, your career doesn’t move forward just because you’re doing great work. It moves when you opt in.

Cerys Goodall, COO of Vetster, knows this firsthand. She went from biotech dropout to C-suite leader by saying yes before she felt ready. In this conversation, we talk about what shifts when you stop waiting and start raising your hand. Whether you’re trying to grow your influence, navigate internal politics, or lead people with real intention, the most powerful thing you can do is show up for yourself first.

This isn’t about being loud or aggressive. It’s about seeing opportunity and saying: yes, I’m ready.

In this episode, we’ll cover:

• How to use the RAISE framework to speak up with confidence
• Why advocating for yourself teaches others to do the same
• The mindset shift that helps you lead people through change, not just manage it
