In episode 134, we're getting into the promotion questions you're afraid to ask, the real ones, pulled straight from a room full of high-achieving women.

You are already delivering above your title. This one is for the woman who is doing the work and is ready for the actual playbook, not more vague feedback. I taught a live training this week and opened it up for real questions, and the coaching I gave on each is the whole episode.

In this episode, I cover:
→ Why getting denied an internal promotion is almost never about your capability
→ What to do when your company "pauses" promotions (and the parallel path that protects you)
→ How to get your title and pay to finally match the work you are doing
→ The reframe for checking in on your promotion without feeling annoying
→ How to build relationships with decision-makers in a new or remote role

Key Takeaways:
– Promotions are decided by more than your manager. Positioning and visibility with the right people is the lever
– "Waiting" quietly adds time to your promotion cycle. Run a parallel path instead
– Vet an organization's health the same way they vet you
– Follow up like a dog with a bone: document, check in, repeat
– Every question comes back to three things: your roadmap, your ecosystem, and your visibility
