How Do You Get Promoted?

B2B Leadership Podcast

Mar 1 2023 • 39 mins

For nearly the first 10 years of my professional career, I was not promoted…


I did an average job and received an average amount of recognition for my contributions.


In every role, I waited for my boss and my company to tell me what to do…


I thought I was doing the right thing…


Then, everything changed…


When I invested in myself and began to deliver more value to my organizations, I understood what a promotion really means.


From that point on, earning promotions was the result of applying a specific formula.


This formula allowed me to go from an individual contributor to a Vice President in 30 months!


This formula is something I have shared with my private coaching clients and members of the B2B Leaders Academy.


In this episode of the B2B Leadership Podcast, I’m going to share my formula with you.
