Ep #201: 2 Truths and a Lie About Executive-Level Promotions

Which one of the statements below is a lie?

To get an executive-level promotion, you should focus your energy on:

💪🏼 Owning that you are an executive leader already 

📝 Becoming an amazing subject matter expert

👀 Being more visible to the leadership team

These questions come from a game of ‘2 Truths and a Lie’ that I played recently during a free workshop with my community.

(And in case you were wondering, the answers are: Truth, Lie and Truth.)

But what really surprised me during this workshop, was how many of the corporate badasses in attendance were totally nailing their answers to these questions.

But…

…there were 3 truth or lie questions that were a little more controversial and less clear cut – and I’m doing a deep dive into all 3 of them in this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer!

When it comes to receiving an executive-level promotion, where you spend your energy is everything. And in this episode, I’ll expand on the 3 unexpected but honest truths and lies about where you need to spend more (or less) of your energy in order to advance to your next level of leadership.

Let’s get started.
