Hey mama, are you feeling like your career is stuck in neutral? You’re giving your all, but progress feels slow. Or maybe you’re wondering if there’s a way to move up, make a change, or take on new challenges but not sure how to get there. Well, I’m about to give you a game-changing tip to help you make that next big leap.
You’re Not in the Room Where Decisions Are Made. Here’s Why That Matters
Let me ask you something: Who’s in the room where the decisions about your career are being made? Because here’s the thing — you’re probably not in that room. No, really. The people who are making decisions about your growth, your promotions, or your next career move aren’t always the ones you see every day. If you want to go from where you are to where you want to be, you need to be sure your voice is heard in that room.
Get to Know Who’s Holding the Keys to Your Career Growth
So how do you get heard in that room? First, figure out who is there. Whether it’s your manager, a senior leader, or someone else in the company, identify the people who have the power to open doors for you. This is the first step in making sure your career is heading in the direction you want.
Let Them Know You’re Ready for More
Once you know who’s in the room, it’s time to make sure they know you’re ready for more. You’re not just interested in your next move—you’re capable of it. You’ve got the skills, the experience, and the drive to go further. Now it’s time to make that crystal clear.
Bonus Tip: Prove Yourself Before You Move Forward
I’m about to drop a little bonus for you: Don’t just ask for more — prove you’re ready. Show that you’re not only capable of taking on new responsibilities but that you’re already doing the work to get there. Take on challenges that highlight your strengths, be proactive in seeking out opportunities, and demonstrate that you’re the one who can step up. When you prove your worth, the people in that decision-making room won’t be able to ignore you.
You are never in the room where the decision about your career happen.
Your Move, Mama
Now you know the key to moving forward in your career. You’ve got this. It’s time to find the decision-makers, make them aware of your potential, and show them you’re ready to step up. So what are you waiting for? The room is waiting for you.
Go get ‘em, mama.
