Here's a question that might sting a little: If I asked your colleagues what you're known for at That gut-wrenching feeling when your manager takes credit for your work? I've been there. It's infuriating and confusing—should you speak up or stay quiet?

Here's the harsh truth: Most of the time, what feels like credit-stealing is actually one of two very different situations. Handle it wrong, and you'll make things worse.

I break down the real difference between actual work theft and organizational reality. Plus, I share the exact words to use when you need to speak up without making it awkward.

You'll discover:

  • Two types of "credit stealing" and how to identify which you're facing
  • The 3-question framework to diagnose your situation
  • Specific scripts to reclaim ownership of your work professionally
  • Why your manager isn't your PR team (and what to do about it)
  • The weekly exercise that builds your visibility muscle

"Hiding your accomplishments doesn't make you humble—it makes you invisible. And invisible people don't get promoted."

Stop letting workplace anxiety keep you stuck. Your contributions matter, and it's time people know what you're capable of.
