Ep #44: C-Suite Secrets Part 1: What your CEO Actually Means

The playbook of what it takes to succeed at the senior executive level is not something you always learn in a MBA program.

Sure, you learn how to be a great manager.

You may even learn to be a good leader.

But what you most likely don’t learn was how to advocate for your career, especially at that higher executive level.

Luckily, I’ve figured that out for you.

This is Part #1 of a three-part series I am doing on the Maximize Your Career with Stacy Podcast podcast, called C-Suite Secrets.

In C-Suite Secrets, I dedicate each episode to showing you how to speak, act, and think like a c-suite leader so you can step into (and survive) an executive leadership position.

In this first episode of the series, I break down the six pieces of feedback that, at some point in your career, you will hear from the executive team AND show you exactly what this feedback actually means (hint: it’s not what you think).

If you listen to this episode and think to yourself “I want to act like a senior executive now”, then my 6-week group coaching program is just the thing for you.  I designed Executive Ahead of Time to help corporate leaders like YOU access the skills, confidence and unparalleled support you’ll need to reach a higher level executive position.  Learn more at www.executiveaheadoftime.com.

What You'll Learn:

  • Why being told to ‘just keep doing what you’re doing’ is a major redflag for your career
  • How to be proactive and look for ways to advance your career, even if it’s ‘not a good time’ for a promotion
  • Why showing the leadership team that you can set boundaries and priorities is crucial to landing your next role
  • What it means to be told to speak up, despite being the loudest person in the room
  • Why being told by your boss that your promotion ‘is not up to me’ is not what it seems
