Ep. 20 Are You Really Ready for That Promotion? 5 Steps for Promotion Readiness

Are you really ready for a promotion—or just hoping to be seen?

Getting passed over can feel like a punch to the gut. But before you spiral or assume it’s all politics, there’s a better question to ask:

If a hiring manager studied how you’ve led your own career, would they trust you to lead theirs?

In this episode, Shenita B. helps you shift from hurt to strategy with 5 key actions that move you from overlooked to intentional. Whether you’ve just been passed over or you’re positioning yourself for the next big opportunity, this conversation will help you assess where you stand and how to step forward—smarter.

*** What to do when you didn’t get the promotion

*** How to self-audit your career strategy and reputation

*** Tips to professionally request clarity and initiate bold next steps

Your career trajectory is too important to leave to chance or assumptions. Let’s get intentional.

💬 Have you ever been passed over for a role? What did you do next?
