It's My Turn: Why High Performers Keep Getting Passed Over

Brittanni Hendricks — coach, author of It's My Turn, and founder of her own coaching practice — joins Steven to unpack why high performers keep getting passed over, even when the work is strong. Brittanni built her coaching practice because she lived the story: a biracial woman who spent years code-switching, straightening her hair, and suppressing who she was just to feel accepted — at home, in rooms, and in her career.In this conversation, we go beneath the vague feedback ("be more strategic," "increase your visibility") to the real issue: what happens when you stop performing and start telling the truth about who you are and what you want. Brittanni shares her four-part coaching framework — clarity, courage, and the work of emotional integrity — and explains why ADHD, once a source of shame, became her superpower. We also talk about the "magnet effect" of authenticity: when you stop shrinking, the right people show up, and the wrong ones quietly fall away.If you've ever wondered when is it going to be my turn? — this one is for you.Chapters00:00 Cold Open01:16 Meet Brittanni01:44 Over-Functioning at Work02:28 Why Not Me?04:44 Code-Switching Early07:13 Biracial Identity08:22 Vague Feedback Trap09:50 ADHD as Superpower10:40 Relationships Over Grind13:53 Light Up the Room14:10 The Four-Part Framework16:18 What People Fear Most18:31 Two Things to Start Today#codeswitching #ItsMyTurn #HighPerformers #AuthenticLeadership #ImposterSyndrome #ExecutiveCoaching #MidlifeRemix #StevenMiyao #BrittanniHendricks
