Many professionals assume strong performance alone leads to promotion. In reality, promotion decisions are usually based on a broader set of factors leaders evaluate when determining who is ready for the next level.
In this workshop, we’ll break down how promotion decisions are often made and introduce a practical framework you can use to assess and strengthen your own positioning.
Drawing from over 12 years in corporate professional services, executive search, and talent development leadership, including leading promotion review processes, sitting in on promotion and performance discussions, and advising on promotion decisions, I’ll share practical insights into what leaders actually look for when evaluating readiness for advancement.
In this session, you’ll learn:
- The key factors leaders evaluate when determining promotion readiness
- Why strong performers still get passed over for promotion
- How to assess your own positioning across results, leadership behaviors, and organizational confidence
- Practical ways to strengthen your visibility, leadership presence, and readiness for the next level
- How to identify the highest-impact areas to focus on for career growth
You’ll leave with a clear framework to evaluate your promotion readiness, identify potential gaps, and approach your career growth more strategically and intentionally.
This session is designed for professionals who are preparing for increased responsibility, navigating career growth, or looking to position themselves more effectively for future advancement.
