About She's meant for more - The Female Career Podcast
She’s Meant for More is a podcast about the real conversations that usually happen behind closed doors: Women sharing their honest stories, expert insights and unfiltered discussions about ambition, doubt, power, visibility, and growth.
Hosted by Dr. Kim Dede, Female Career Coach and career expert from Germany, living and working in Dubai, each episode is designed to inspire you to reach the next level of your career - whatever that looks like for you!
You can be ambitious, successful and love your career, without letting it become your entire life.
Deborah Hüller went from Analyst to Partner in consulting in just over a decade. Today, she is Partner at IBM Consulting, a voice for digital transformation, AI and women in leadership and works four days a week.
But her career didn’t always look this balanced.
For years, Deborah put her career first. She worked long hours, slept four to six hours a night and had little time left for life outside of work.
Until she started questioning her own definition of success.
“Be honest with yourself and get your own definition of success.”
In this episode, we talk about what it really takes to make Partner, why taking risks and finding sponsors can change your career, and how Deborah learned to set boundaries without giving up her ambition.
We also talk about being the only woman in the room, finding allies and why sometimes the first step towards more balance is accepting that other people might not like your boundaries.
🎧 Episode 4 of Season 3 of She’s Meant for More is about building an ambitious career without forgetting to build a life alongside it.

Career superpower: Networking is easier than you think - with Dr. Kim Dede
You can be brilliant at your job and still be overlooked.
Because hard work alone doesn’t guarantee career progression. If the right people don’t know what you’re capable of, who is going to mention your name when the next opportunity comes up?
In this solo episode, Dr. Kim Dede talks about one of the most underestimated career superpowers: networking.
Based on her PhD research with more than 555 professionals in consulting and her experience as a Female Career Coach, she explains why the people who know you, trust you and advocate for you can have a huge impact on your career.
“Keeping your head down and doing the work is not going to work out for you.”
And no, networking doesn’t mean collecting hundreds of LinkedIn connections or forcing yourself through awkward networking events.
It can start much smaller.
A conversation in the office kitchen. A virtual coffee. Staying in touch with a former colleague. Asking someone you admire for 20 minutes of their time.
Episode 3 of Season 3 of She’s Meant for More is about how to network without feeling fake — and how to make sure your hard work is seen by the people who can open the next door.

Redefining success on your own terms – with Vera Schneevoigt
What happens when you’ve reached the top of the corporate ladder and decide it’s time to redefine what success means to you?
Vera Schneevoigt knows what it means to build an impressive international career. As a former Chief Digital Officer, she has led diverse teams across three continents. Today, she has stepped into a new chapter as an entrepreneur, angel investor and author.
But her career has also taught her that success isn’t just about the next title or the corner office. It’s about staying open to change, recognizing new opportunities and understanding when it might be time to take a different path.
“When a door closes, another opens.”
We talk about navigating major career transitions, leading across cultures, why listening has become one of Vera’s most important leadership skills and what it takes to embrace change rather than fear it.
Episode 2 of Season 3 of 'She's meant for more' is a conversation about leadership, change and defining success beyond the job title.
