Are you showing up as a leader or a follower? Maybe you think being a shadow and working endless hours each day is the key to your promotion. For six to seven years of my ten-year career, I was working on the wrong things because I had the wrong presumptions of what it took to get a promotion. When I did get a promotion, I thought I got it because I was working hard, staying late, and going the extra mile. In this episode, I share the four secret ingredients to advancing your career into a leadership role without running out of hours each day.
Highlights from this episode:
- The misconceptions about getting promoted (2:47)
- Demonstrating your ability to lead (4:51)
- Leading yourself to lead others (7:43)
- Developing your leadership identity (10:17)
- Showing up in service to others (13:20)
- Taking responsibility and making decisions as a leader (14:36)
From today onwards, decide that you will take responsibility and start to wear the identity of a leader, respond and show up as a leader in every situation you can. As always, if you have questions or want to go through this and know you need the support, drop me a DM with the word elevate. We will talk about how I can support you in developing this leadership identity, and if you want to step into the next level in your career, I invite you to join me on a virtual career game plan call.

If you're waiting for someone to tell you that you're ready for a promotion, you are not taking responsibility for your career.
The good news is that responsibility is a choice that we are all free to make, and it starts with the awareness that taking responsibility frees you from being dependent on someone else for your success.
