Waiting on a promotion that isn't happening? In this episode, I walk you through exactly what to say in two common scenarios so you can finally get the clarity and the title you've earned. Grab my free negotiation guide at morewomenpromoted.com/negotiate/
Have you been waiting on a promotion that just keeps getting delayed - or worse, was promised to you and then quietly forgotten?
You're not imagining it. And you're not alone. The problem usually isn't your performance. It's that no one is having the right conversation, and that someone needs to be you.
In this episode, I walk you through the exact words and strategy to use in two of the most common promotion scenarios women face: when your scope has grown but your title hasn't, and when a promotion was promised but nothing has happened.
BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:
- Why taking on increased scope is almost always the right move, and how to use it as leverage for your title bump
- How to build a side-by-side business case that makes it obvious you deserve the next level
- The exact questions to ask when a promised promotion has stalled
- Why framing it as "I don't feel valued" backfires, and what to say instead
- How to create follow-up accountability so this conversation actually leads somewhere
Don't leave this conversation to chance. Grab my free step-by-step negotiation guide at morewomenpromoted.com/negotiate/ and walk in prepared.
