I wanna talk about something that most people never tell high performers in corporate America. You could be the smartest person in the room, you could be the best executor, and still not yet get promoted. I've watched it happen more times than I can count in my 20+ years in talent and executive leadership. Someone can crush their numbers, they can have the highest performing teams, they can be the individual that everybody sees as a fixer, and yet still never get promoted. And they'll sit down with their boss and they'll say, hey, what am I missing? And the common phrase back to them is, you're just not ready yet. It's this vague answer, there's no substance behind it. And what that phrase really means is that you're lacking executive presence. It's not your output, it's not your intelligence. It's the way you're showing up. It's how much space you take up in a room. It's how people value the words that you were saying. It's, do people trust you to lead at a different level? And the answer is if. If you're being told not ready yet, you're not communicating in the right way up through the chain of command. I do executive coaching for individuals every single week, and I am telling you, this is the thing that can change a trajectory for you. You're never taught this stuff in school. You're certainly never taught it in corporate America. But when you learn some simple techniques, On how to communicate back upstream. It will change things for you. If you'd love to work on this together, I'd certainly love to help you. Drop into the comments any questions you have. And good luck out there.
