Ep. 150 - The Promotion Illusion: What Career Progression Won’t Fix (And What Will)
If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking “once I get promoted, then I’ll finally feel confident,” this episode is your real wake-up call. In The Promotion Illusion: What Career Progression Won’t Fix (And What Will), you’ll unpack the hidden beliefs keeping you stuck, overworked, and under-recognised - even though you’re capable, smart, and ambitious.
You’ve been taught to play by the rules. Work hard. Be reliable. Keep everyone happy. But what if that’s exactly what’s holding you back?
Here’s what you’ll walk away with:
- Why confidence doesn’t come after the promotion - it comes before, and how to build it now.
- How reliability earns gratitude, but visibility earns growth - and what to say to start shifting the narrative.
- The truth about waiting to feel “ready,” and how perfectionism disguises itself as productivity.
If you’ve been waiting to feel ready, or hoping someone will finally notice how hard you work, this is your invitation to stop waiting - and start choosing yourself.
