The market is shaky. Return-to-office mandates are inconsistent. Promotions feel like a moving target. But one thing hasn’t changed: you’re still responsible for your own career growth.

In this episode, Mamuna Oladipo and Lola Oyelayo-Pearson get real about what it takes to build and own a growth plan, especially when the rest of work feels unpredictable. Whether you're remote, hybrid, or just tired, now is the time to stop hinting, stop waiting, and start showing receipts.

We break down how to have clear, direct conversations with your manager, how to track your own value, and why owning your development plan is a power move—not a performance review form.

We also flip the mic to managers: If you're leading people and not offering clarity, structure, or meaningful feedback—do better. Coaching is a skill. Use it.

📌 In this episode:

• Why vague feedback isn’t enough—and how to get clear on your growth
• How to position yourself for promotion, even if no one’s talking about it
• What great managers do (and what to do when yours isn’t one)
• Why “owning your plan” matters more than ever in 2024

💡 We made this show for YOU.
