From Overlooked to Promoted!

Have you heard of Margaret E. Knight, the Innovator of the Flat-Bottomed Paper Bag?

?

She came up with a method of automation so that workers would not have to make the bags by hand. Then she fought for credit for her work.

?

Knight was arguably the most successful female American inventor of the 19th century. Having invented nearly 90 devices and obtaining 27 U.S. patents. Yet, most of us have never heard of her, likely due to her reluctance to engage in self-promotion.

?“I guess I have never learned the value of publicity,” she said. “For I never care to be interviewed. I like to produce results rather than talk about them.”

Sound familiar?

People often come to me for executive coaching after they've been passed over for a promotion.

I wish they had reached out sooner so I could help them sidestep that frustrating, sometimes soul-crushing moment in their careers. Let's talk about what you can do to be proactive instead of reactive—don't wait until it's too late to invest in your growth!

The Number 1 Reason People Get Passed Up for Promotion

The #1 reason you're getting passed up for a promotion?

You're invisible.?

Yep, you heard that right. You're crushing it at work, but nobody knows.

?

Here's the deal:

?? High performance isn't enough

? Decision-makers need to see your value

? Self-advocacy is crucial

Most people think:

"My work speaks for itself." Wrong. Your work whispers.

You need to amplify it.

?

How?

1. Build relationships
2. Network strategically
3. Communicate your wins

?

Remember: Out of sight = Out of mind

?

Don't be a hidden gem. Be a shining star.
