from Women in Sales Leadership · host Amy Evans

Work with Amy: https://amyevanscoaching.com/workwithmeConnect with Amy on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alynnevans/It's the end of Q1. A full quarter of 2026 is gone. And if you've been telling yourself the same thing since January — "I know I need to make a move, but the timing isn't right" — this episode is for you.In this solo episode, Amy breaks down the pattern she keeps seeing in her one-on-one conversations with senior sales leaders: high performers who are stuck, who know they've outgrown their current role, and who keep finding reasons to stay. The promotion above them is occupied. The company flattened. They absorbed the reorg to protect their team. And now they're doing more for the same pay with no clear path up.Amy identifies the three fears that keep strong leaders in roles they've already outgrown: the Identity Fear (who are you without the company name?), the Devil You Know Fear (watching colleagues leave and struggle), and the Golden Handcuffs Fear (there's always a financial reason to wait another quarter). She challenges listeners with a five-question Q1 Gut Check, including the Sunday Night Test and the one question that tells you everything you need to know about whether it's time to go.If you recognized yourself in this episode, you're not alone. Amy is gifting every listener a complimentary one-hour Next Career Move Planning Session. Grab yours at amyevanscoaching.com/workwithme.Know someone who needs to hear this?
