Do you keep getting overlooked for promotions? But have no idea why?
It’s so disheartening when you want to progress but people don’t seem to recognise your value. We spend most of our career making side steps, negotiating small pay rises between firms but taking like for like roles. It doesn’t take long before you believe this is the only level you are destined for.
But the truth is, it’s not. If you know you can do more, you are not reaching your potential or you have a drive inside you to do more and earn more. Then it is never too late to go for a promotion and build yourself an incredibly successful career to be proud of.
In this video, I talk through 4 shifts, that not only helped me to accelerate my career but have supported colleagues to up-level within just a few months!
In fact one of my friends spent 10 years at a company shifting roles without responsibilities. He was never seen as anything more. When he shifted his behaviour and took these steps this was recognised. Within just a few months he was promoted to leader of the PMO and in all honesty, you wouldn’t recognise the person he had become. He had seriously upleveled. He looked good, felt good, met a wonderful partner and everyone admires him – some even want to be him! Being successful makes you feel fulfilled in life at work and at home.
In this video I walk you through the four shifts to increase your chances of promotion – I hope that you take this and achieve a career-boosting promotion:
1. Tell your manager – I spent a long time thinking my team were happy as they were and weren’t interested in progression
2. Take ownership Avoid making excuses – when I say to take ownership I mean to take ownership and make it happen – be the one who brings solutions to the table, not just problems.
3. Organise and take responsibility to organise others – work on small projects.
4. Ask for responsibilities – start to take things on and ask what can be done to help.
