🎯 Comment MASTERCLASS to block your seat.
If you have ever trained someone who then got promoted over you, comment MASTERCLASS and I will send you the link to my free masterclass on 11 October: how mid-career women get seen for promotion without overworking.
17 years in leadership development.
Let me tell you what actually happened, because nobody in your organisation will.
You knew the work better. You probably still do. He asked you how things worked, you explained, and eighteen months later he was your manager’s peer and you were still the person who knows how things work.
That is not a fluke. It is a pattern I have watched for 17 years.
What he had was not talent. It was three things:
✅ He was known by people other than his manager. He made sure of it
✅ He talked about outcomes, not tasks. Same work, different words
✅ He asked for the next level out loud. You assumed your work would ask for you
None of that is unfair. It is just unspoken. And you were never told the rules.
On Sunday 11 October, 8pm Dubai, I am running a free one-hour masterclass. Visible: how mid-career women get seen for promotion without overworking. I will show you the room where your promotion gets decided, who sits in it, and what each of them needs to see from you.
You will leave with a map. Not motivation. A map.
If you are a mid-career woman who is done watching people she trained move past her, comment MASTERCLASS and I will send you the link.
