What really gets you promoted and what keeps you stuck?
Daniel’s OUT, Tamara’s IN. She’s joined by Maya Grossman, ex-Google and Microsoft turned CEO and career coach. From the “mid-management loop” to the myths about MBAs and hard work, Maya shares the lessons she learned after 17 promotion rejections on her way to VP.
So what actually gets you promoted? Together, Tamara and Maya dig into the real drivers of career growth: shifting from execution to strategy, learning how to say no without guilt, and developing the kind of executive presence that makes leaders see you as ready for more.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still not moving up, this episode will change how you think about advancement. It’s not about working harder, it’s about working differently.
