You want to move forward with your career.
You're ready for the next step.
You know you're doing a good job.
But you're still waiting for someone to notice your potential.
This scenario is all too common.
Hard work is powerful - but itโs ๐ก๐ข๐ง ๐ฎ ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ด๐ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ป๐ผ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฑ.
Employers expect you to do a good job - that's why they employed you!
But career growth takes more than doing a good job - it takes ๐๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ฝ.
In fast paced, high pressure environments, the people who grow are often those who openly say:
"๐๐ฉ๐ช๐ด ๐ช๐ด ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ ๐ธ๐ข๐ฏ๐ต ๐ต๐ฐ ๐จ๐ฐ. ๐๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ค๐ข๐ฏ ๐ ๐จ๐ฆ๐ต ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฆ?"
This isn't arrogance.
It's ownership.
It's strategic.
It gives your manager clarity over your aspirations and sets a direction for your growth.
Ambition isn't selfish. So don't be afraid to ask for:
โข the project that excites you;
โข the promotion you've been waiting for;
โข the development you've been hoping for;
โข the feedback that will help you grow.
Your future wonโt be handed to you just because youโre good.
It will open up when you show youโre ready and willing to grow.
So:
๐ฃ Speak your goals.
๐ฏ Advocate for yourself.
๐ Start the conversation that leads to your next chapter.
And Remember:
