🎧Why Your Network Isn’t Enough Anymore

For years, your next opportunity came through referrals, recruiters, or being tapped on the shoulder. But what happens when that quiet momentum slows... or stops?

In this episode of Jolt Your Career, Teegan Bartos—executive career strategist and founder of Jolt Your Career—breaks down the hidden risk of relying solely on your network and why visibility is now the new credibility.

This is not a knock on relationships. It’s a call to action for every high-performing leader who's waiting for their name to be mentioned in the right room—instead of owning the room before they walk in.

Here’s what we cover:

  • Why your network isn’t failing you, but your strategy might be

  • How to shift from passive visibility to strategic leadership branding

  • What today’s executive search actually looks like (and why a strong LinkedIn profile isn’t optional anymore)

  • How to lead your narrative without “self-promotion”

If you've ever thought, "People know my work. I shouldn't have to market myself," this episode was made for you.

Whether you’re in transition after a layoff or quietly considering what’s next, this belief-shifting conversation will help you lead your next move—with intention, clarity, and visibility.
