What They Don't Tell You About Promotions, Politics & Getting Ahead


Listen Later

Ever wondered what HR is really thinking when you apply for that promotion? Or why some people seem to climb the ladder faster than others?

This week, we're sitting down with Maame Efua Atta-Boahen, an HR expert with over 10 years of experience at one of Ghana's leading banks. She's seen it all and she's sharing the unfiltered truth about what really happens behind closed doors.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • Why hard work alone won't get you promoted (and what will)
  • What HR can actually do for you vs. what they can't
  • How to navigate office politics without losing your integrity
  • The art of visibility—making sure your work gets noticed by the right people
  • Setting boundaries and advocating for yourself at work
  • The uncomfortable but necessary conversation about workplace harassment and safety


Whether you're gunning for a promotion, feeling stuck in your career, or just trying to survive your 9-5, this episode is packed with practical advice you can use immediately.
