@coffeewithsimon: You don’t get promoted based on performance alone. You get promoted based on perception. Not in a manipulative way — but in the sense that leaders need signals. Signals that they can trust your judgment. Signals that you see the bigger picture. Signals that you’re already operating above your current level. Most of us update our managers like this: “I’m working on X. I finished B and now I’m moving on to C.” That shows you can execute tasks. But promotion-ready people communicate differently. Watch the video for the template and example. They connect the work to insight, decisions, and impact. It's also the same update system I used to earn 3 promotions in 3 years! Because when people understand the value behind the work, perception starts to shift. And that’s when doors start opening. #careeradvice #careertips #careergoals #worktips #careercoach
