Stop Doing “Helpful” Work and Start Doing Promotable Work


Listen Later

Being helpful won’t get you promoted. Strategic work will. In this episode, I break down how to identify promotable tasks, stop saying yes to busy work, and start making VP-level decisions. Download my free Task Audit at morewomenpromoted.com/audit.

If you’re saying yes to everything at work, that might be the exact reason you’re not getting promoted.

In this episode, I walk through how to identify promotable vs non-promotable work, why being the most helpful person on the team often leads to invisible effort, and how to start demonstrating VP-level judgment before you ever have the title. You’re not being selfish. You’re being strategic.

What You’ll Learn

  • Why being the most helpful person on the team is not what gets you promoted
  • How I identify promotable vs non-promotable tasks in my own work and with clients
  • The signals busy work sends about your leadership readiness
  • How to push back on low-value requests without hurting relationships
  • Why you need to make VP-level decisions before you’re ever a VP
