Sometimes we have the talent and everything else needed to get a promotion but we don’t have a clear strategy and plan to turn it into a reality. Today on the Human Centric Leadership podcast, we are discussing our recipe for securing promotions. Tuning in, you will hear about how Michelle found success in her career, what set her apart from her colleagues, why you need to learn how to manage what you can control and let go of what you can’t, how comparison can limit your potential, and why you should be your biggest competitor. We delve into why you need to know what your goals are and why before exploring how you can balance money and passion. You may feel awkward about developing a relationship with your competition but doing so before the promotion is secured is a more effective way to build connections. We talk you through the importance of all kinds of connections, leveraging resources, and so much more. Finally, we give you five steps that will help you do the one thing that will set you apart from everyone else in your interview: proving that you can achieve financial results and execute the job.
