Career Advancement, Leadership and Promotion: The Mid-Career GPS Podcast
You’re doing great work. So why are you still being overlooked for promotions, leadership opportunities, or your next career move?
The Mid-Career GPS Podcast helps mid-career professionals build the visibility, influence, and career strategy to move forward. If you’re a manager, senior manager, or director who feels stuck, undervalued, or uncertain about what’s next, you’re in the right place.
I’m John Neral, a leadership and career coach. Each week, I share practical strategies and candid conversations to help you communicate your value, strengthen your leadership presence, and make more confident career decisions.
You’ll learn how to position yourself for promotion, navigate difficult workplace conversations, build strategic relationships, and lead with greater impact.
We’ll also tackle job search strategy, interviewing, and career transitions when your next step means moving to a new organization.
At the heart of this podcast are my SHOW UP strategies, helping you take an active role in your career instead of waiting for someone else to recognize your potential.
With more than 360 episodes, you’ll find guidance for the challenges and opportunities that come with this stage of your career.

Black Friday: The Mid-Career Jumpstart Bundle
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Are you feeling stuck between staying in your role or making a leap? I've pulled together a focused, affordable way to get moving: a Black Friday Mid‑Career Jumpstart Bundle designed to turn confusion into a clear plan and give you the confidence to interview well under pressure. I talk through the exact problems so many mid‑career professionals face: stalling applications, interview nerves, and uncertainty about what’s next, and lay out a toolkit that addresses each one with structure and support.
First, I walk you through the Career Crossroads to Career Clarity course, built to help you map strengths and values to real roles, craft a short list of targets, and test your direction with low‑risk experiments. Then I dig into my five‑step interview system that organizes your story, anticipates tough questions, and builds a repeatable practice routine. To make preparation smoother, I've added a bonus masterclass on using an AI tool like ChatGPT to rehearse smarter and cut stress, plus a 15‑page interview prep guide filled with prompts, frameworks, and examples we use with private coaching clients.
But I know you want more. And that's why anyone who buys The Mid-Career Jumpstart Bundle, will receive an invitation to a live Q&A in January. Bring your job search, networking, clarity, and interview questions; if you can’t attend, send them in advance and watch the replay for 30 days.
The bundle, normally $397, is available for $47 for a limited time, with lifetime access and free updates included. If you’re ready to stop second‑guessing and start moving with purpose, grab the bundle, set your plan for the new year, and give your future self the best gift of the season.
