Episode notes

ADVICE

Eliminate Minimizing Language

Remove minimizing language like 'Does this make sense?' and opt for confident alternatives.
Say 'Let me know if you have questions' or use 'I recommend' to sound authoritative.

INSIGHT

Visibility Isn’t The Same As Credibility

Loudness can create visibility but not necessarily long-term credibility or capability.
Promotion requires strategic visibility months in advance, not last-minute declarations.

ADVICE

Make Promotion A Shared Plan

Tell your manager early and repeatedly that you want a promotion and co-create a plan months ahead.
Engage your manager to advocate and neutralize objections before review time.
