Ep #143: Why Overcoming Adversity is More Important than Landing the Promotion

Let’s be honest. Getting passed over for a promotion frickin’ sucks.

For a lot of corporate women, it sends them into a tailspin of terrible emotions. Emotions like:

Bitterness. Frustration. Resentment.

And this is normal. It happens a LOT.

But what if you could get passed over for a promotion…and know that you have what it takes to get right back on track?

Sure, you can still feel disappointed when you get passed over. There may still even be tears.

But what if you could build an incredible kind of resilience that allowed you to experience these setbacks, dust yourself off, and then simply think:

NEXT!

No more spiraling. Just a deep sense of knowing that you are a corporate badass who can figure. it. out.

In this episode of Maximize Your Career with Stacy Mayer, I share why the real work of becoming a corporate badass isn’t necessarily about getting the promotion, but instead understanding how to overcome the adversity you’ll face as you advance yourself to the executive suite.
