Read the Room with Laurie J. Wetzel

You are accomplished, reliable, and respected, and somehow still not in the room when the decision gets made.

Read the Room is about closing that gap: the distance between the work you have done and how the people who decide your next move actually see it.

Each episode, Laurie J. Wetzel sits down with the recruiters, hiring leaders, operators, and senior professionals who have been in the rooms where scope, promotions, and offers get decided. They give the honest version of how those calls really happen, and what separates the people who get chosen from the equally qualified people who get passed over.

Laurie spent 25 years in leadership at companies like Adobe, Slack, and Salesforce before becoming a career strategist. Her core message is direct: your value is being misinterpreted, not missing. This is the show where she and her guests make it readable.
