Is Hard work Enough for Promotion? Wondering why you're not getting the recognition you deserve at work? It's not just about working hard; it's about making your hard work visible. This lack of self-promotion can lead to missed opportunities, lower job satisfaction, and stalled career growth. Here are five things you can do to market your work better at the workplace: 1. Document Your Achievements: Keep a record of your accomplishments and regularly update your manager. This not only keeps them informed but also helps during performance reviews. 2. Share Success Stories: Whenever you complete a project or achieve a milestone, share the success with your team. Use team meetings, emails, or company newsletters to highlight your contributions. 3. Network Actively: Build relationships with colleagues and leaders within your organization. Attend company events, join professional groups, and be visible. 4. Seek Feedback and Act on It: Ask for feedback from your peers and supervisors. Use it to improve and showcase your growth. 5. Leverage Social Media: Share your professional achievements on platforms like LinkedIn. This not only increases your visibility but also establishes you as a thought leader in your field.

A gratifying yet eye-opening moment in my career was being rewarded for my work and given a substantial raise. My manager said, “This is long overdue.” He was absolutely right. My contributions made a notable impact on revenue, yet my efforts were not recognized, while others were acknowledged for their success. I learned two valuable lessons from this experience. #1: Your work does not always speak for itself in product marketing. Much of the work is behind the scenes, and it is often the juice that powers successful marketing and sales. Become comfortable and skilled with the art of self-promotion. Even if recognition is not your primary source of motivation, it is essential to your brand and career advancement. #2: As a manager, avoid being professionally tone-deaf. Lead your team with empathy. If team recognition is long overdue, you have failed them.

🚀 Are you being Leapfrogged at work? 🚀 It's a familiar scene: you've been at the company for years, now your noticing newcomers climbing faster up the ladder. Wondering why? It’s probably not because you’re lacking skill or are not working hard enough. It’s more likely about the perception people have about you. If this sounds familiar, then you might find our latest blogpost and our tips for how to claim the recognition you deserve helpful. https://lnkd.in/eEr8w__C

If your efforts are not being recognized, here are a few things you can do: 1. Communicate: Make sure your accomplishments and contributions are clearly communicated to your supervisor or colleagues. Keep them updated on your progress and the impact your work is making. 2. Seek feedback: Request feedback from your manager or colleagues to understand how you can improve and what areas you can focus on to gain recognition. This will also give you an opportunity to showcase your skills and demonstrate your commitment to growth. 3. Network: Build a strong network within your organization or industry. Connect with colleagues, attend industry events, and engage in professional communities. Networking can help you gain visibility and increase the chances of your efforts being recognized. 4. Document your achievements: Keep a record of your accomplishments, including any positive feedback or results you have achieved. This documentation can be useful when discussing your contributions during performance reviews or when seeking promotions or recognition. 5. Take initiative: Look for opportunities to go above and beyond your assigned tasks. Take on additional responsibilities, suggest improvements, and contribute to projects outside of your immediate scope. Demonstrating initiative and a proactive attitude can increase the likelihood of your efforts being noticed. 6. Stay positive and persistent: It can be frustrating when your efforts go unrecognized, but it's important to stay positive and remain persistent. Keep working hard and focus on the value you bring to your work. Recognition may not come immediately, but by consistently delivering high-quality work, you increase the chances of being noticed. Remember, recognition may not always come from others. It's also important to recognize and celebrate your own achievements and growth. Hi there! Would you like to spend a night in this boat?

"From New Beginnings to Earning Applause: My Journey into Training" Stepping into the world of training after working in HR was a leap. I was now standing in front of senior, highly experienced professionals—people who had seen and done it all. I asked myself, ‘How can I add value here?’ But with each session, something incredible happened. I saw nods of approval, engaged faces, and—best of all—feedback that told me I was making an impact. They didn’t just listen; they connected with what I had to share. It turns out that when you bring passion, preparation, and a fresh perspective to the table, experience gaps don’t matter as much. I’ve learned this: respect isn’t just given based on years—it’s earned by the value you bring, no matter where you’re starting from. Have you ever stepped into a new role and discovered more in yourself than you expected? #NewBeginnings #LearningAndDevelopment #TrainingSuccess #ProfessionalGrowth #ConfidenceInYourself

Ever looked at a recent promotion announcement and thought, "Wait... how did THEY get promoted? I work just as hard!" (Trust me, I hear this way more often than you'd think 😅) Here's the uncomfortable truth I've learned, being great at your job is just the entry ticket. The real game is played differently, and I wish someone had told me this earlier. Let me break down the career stages that NO ONE talks about: (1) The "What You Know" stage You're killing it at your job, meeting deadlines, solving problems. Your manager loves your work. But then... Rahul from the other team, who joined after you, gets promoted first. (2) The "Who You Know" stage You've built a solid network, you're at every team event, your LinkedIn is popping. Yet somehow, that promotion still feels like a moving target. Sound familiar? (3) The "Who Knows YOU" stage (This is where it gets real) Remember that project you crushed last quarter? Amazing work. But here's the million-dollar question- beyond your immediate team, who knows about it? I recently saw a star performer get passed over for promotion. Their work? Exceptional. Their impact? Massive. Their fatal flaw? Only their immediate team knew about it. Here's what actually works (tested and verified from the other side of the HR table): (A) Stop being the hidden gem - That report you spent weeks perfecting? Share the insights in the all-hands - That process you improved? Document it and show others how - That client win? Tell the story, don't just add it to a slide (B) Make your work visible (without being obnoxious) - Join cross-functional projects (even small ones count!) - Share your learnings (people love a good "here's what I messed up and learned" story) - Ask for feedback from leaders outside your team (they remember these conversations) (C) Build your champion network - Find mentors who've walked your path - Help other teams solve problems (they'll remember this!) - Share credit generously (it comes back tenfold) Your next promotion isn't decided in your performance review. It's decided in all the meetings you're not in. Here's a quick test -> If your skip-level manager bumped into your CEO in the elevator, could they tell them what you're known for? If not... well, now you know what to work on. Have you experienced this invisible ceiling? P.S. If this post helped you share it with that colleague who's been grinding hard but feeling stuck. We rise by lifting others! #careergrowth #workplace #professionaldevelopment #promotion #careerplanning

Leverage Year-End Reviews throughout the Year! Believe it or not, we are one month away from the end of Q1! It seems the dust has only just settled on last year's wrap-up with the mandatory training, performance reviews, and end-of-year presentations. When it comes to documenting your achievements, this is the opportune moment to make life easier for yourself, your manager, and to supercharge your career. Leading a team of 22 across Canada has led me to distill three key tips for maximizing the impact of your year-end performance review throughout the entire year. #1 Home Run Stories: Remember the pride in a parent's eyes when showing off a photo of their child making the Little League team? Capture your success stories and regularly share them with your manager. These are snapshots of your achievements that can be seamlessly woven into meetings, showcasing your team's excellence. Keep the updates frequent, involving members from other teams, and copy their managers for broader recognition. #2 Batting Average: In the world of sales, we talk about "at bats" – the chances we take, even if they don't always result in a home run. Share your attempts, the lessons learned, and how you adjusted for the next swing. Waiting for the perfect opportunity isn't the strategy; taking calculated risks and learning from them is. #3 Break Up the Year-End Review: Walking into a year-end review with uncertainty is a missed opportunity. Break the process into quarterly checkpoints. Fill out your review template regularly, discussing it with your manager. Ensure alignment on your goals, their goals, and the overarching business objectives. This proactive approach keeps you both on the same page and eliminates surprises at the year-end meeting. Remember, work is a seesaw – is the exchange fair? Are you contributing as much as you're gaining? Know your value, advocate for yourself, and embrace growth. Here's to a year of continuous improvement and achieving new heights!  #CareerSuccess #PerformanceReview #CareerDevelopment #LevelUp

🚨 Ever wondered why you’re not getting promoted despite glowing performance reviews? 🚨 Early in my career, I assumed hard work would automatically lead to a well-deserved promotion. Guess what? Turns out, hard work alone doesn’t guarantee it 😅 — it’s all about the impact you make. So, what else might be blocking your promotion? 🔑 Have you told your manager about your ambitions? 🔑 Are you building relationships beyond your team? 🔑 Is your impact visible to decision-makers? Oh, and being “too humble”? Yep, that can backfire too. I break it all down in my latest article, listing all the “valid” corporate reasons.
