Ever been told, “You could’ve done better” after giving it your all?
That was me after leading a $60M product transition.
My team crushed every metric—on-time delivery, quality, and revenue goals.
But in my performance review, I learned a hard truth:
Your work doesn’t speak for itself. You have to promote it.
Here’s what my manager told me:
“You do great work, but management doesn’t know. You don’t promote your results enough, and another team stole the credit.”
That was my wake-up call.
I made a promise: I will take credit for every ounce of my work.
Here are 3 strategies I used to make sure my team got the recognition they deserved:
1️⃣ Monthly status updates with senior leadership.
2️⃣ Lunch-and-learns to spotlight our wins.
3️⃣ Speaking up in budget discussions to secure strategic buy-in.
This lesson in strategic self-promotion led me to a $200k+ leadership role at Amazon and building Pinkcareers into Canada’s largest women’s leadership program.
Now, I teach women how to fast-track their promotions by mastering this skill.
Don’t let 2025 be the year your hard work goes unnoticed.
Hard work alone won’t get you promoted—visibility will.
