Ep #252: How to Navigate Feedback That You’re “Too Focused on Promotions”

Have you ever been told to stop focusing so much on your promotion and just do a good job with the role you already have? Maybe you’ve been warned that you’re talking about your professional development too often and that you need to “sit tight” and wait your turn. But as you've heard me say before: A promotion is not a reward for your hard work. And going back to your desk, putting your head down, and working really hard isn’t going to help you get to that next level. So how can you continue to advocate for your promotion without pushing too hard and pissing people off? You’re going to do this: Stop talking about your promotion and start talking about your work. In this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer, I’ll show you how to shift the conversation from just pushing for a promotion to strategically demonstrating your impact and growth as a leader. I’ll also break down exactly why so many women leaders receive this “sit tight” feedback and provide practical solutions to stay on track with your career goals.
