I’ve got to share some bad news with you.?

See, if I hear one more person say, "I just want my work to speak for itself" or "I'd rather be behind the scenes…"?

I'm going to pull my hair out.

Because here’s what I need to get off my chest:

The workplace isn't a meritocracy.?And no amount of wishing or hoping is going to change that.

In an ideal world, your boss and colleagues would automatically recognize and reward your contributions.?

But in reality, they're juggling their own priorities, projects, and pressures. Your achievements can easily get lost in the shuffle.

Plus, doing great work isn't enough.?

Your smarts, your dedication, your late nights and early mornings - they’ll go unnoticed if you're not strategically showcasing them.

But here's the GREAT news, especially for top-performers like you:

You're already doing the hard part!?

You're already delivering results and driving value for your company.?

Now, you just need to let people know about it.

Imagine you’re walking into your year-end performance review in a few weeks.

But instead of a knot in your stomach, you feel a quiet confidence.?

Your palms aren't sweaty; they're steady as you open your notebook.

When your boss asks about your biggest accomplishment, you don't downplay it or give away all the credit.?

You articulate your role clearly, showing how your work impacted the team and the company's bottom line.

You're not dominating the conversation – or shrinking back.?

Instead, you're guiding it, making sure your contributions are understood and valued.

As the meeting wraps up, your boss leans back, clearly impressed.

"I had no idea you were involved in all of this," they say. "We need to talk about your future here."

Pretty cool, right??

This scenario isn't reserved for the magical unicorns born with unshakeable confidence. It's not just for the extroverts who love the spotlight.

It's possible for you. Yes, you – the one who's been quietly excelling behind the scenes.

And it doesn't require you to transform into someone you're not. You don't need to become louder or pushier.

All it takes are a few simple strategies to showcase the great work you're already doing.

Everything I’ll be teaching you at the FREE Stand Out Self-Promotion training comes from the same playbook our clients at top Fortune 500 companies use to land $100k raises and promotions.

And nothing I’ll be sharing requires you to:

? Play dirty office politics

? Become a shameless braggart

? Throw your colleagues under the bus and hog all the credit

Instead, you’ll discover simple strategies to showcase your results in a way that feels natural, gets you noticed, and gets you paid.?

So join me Tuesday, October 29th at 12pm to discover:

???? How to speak up in meetings and impress the company’s leaders, without offending your colleagues. (Just say these 3 magic phrases!)?
