Ep #308: The Promotion Readiness Test: Find Out in 20 Questions

In this episode of Women Changing Leadership, I’m walking you through the five essential steps of my executive promotion process—the same process I’ve used over the past eight years to help women move from subject matter experts to trusted executive leaders. Drawing from my coaching experience and insights from my “Ready to Be Promoted” assessment, I break down the critical skills you actually need to advance, including building trust, thinking strategically, regulating your emotions under pressure, creating a long-term vision, and communicating with authentic executive presence. I also share why traditional development plans often fall short and what to do instead so you can navigate the real challenges women face on the path to senior leadership.
