What’s it going to take to get promoted and advance your career in 2024? I asked this question to executive coach and promotion strategist, Stacy Mayer, who explained that the first step to getting promoted is ownership. We need to decide, as women, what we want out of our career and what we are willing to do (and not do) to get it. In today’s episode, Stacy shares with us what it takes to own your advancing career, how to get exposure to your boss’s boss through strategic ally meetings and the #1 thing you can do, right now, to lay a foundation for a promotion by the end of the year.
