I used to think if I kept my head down and delivered great work, recognition would naturally follow. Spoiler alert: It didn't.
Hard work alone rarely secures promotions. The truth is, if you don’t speak up about your impact, someone else will speak up about theirs—and they'll get noticed first.
Positioning yourself isn’t about bragging—it’s about connecting your contributions clearly to the bigger picture. Don't wait for recognition to find you; go out and claim it.
One thing you can do today: Share a recent win with your manager or your team, highlighting exactly how it ties into broader goals.
