You’re ready for the next step in your career – a more significant role that comes with greater responsibility, more visibility, and allows you to make a greater impact. But how do you discuss a promotion with stakeholders?

Promotion conversations can feel awkward, risky, or unclear. What if you say the wrong thing? What if you come across as pushy, needy, or not ready? Or worse, what if the answer is no?

If you want to move up, you have to speak up. And when you do, you must communicate your aspirations clearly and confidently, so people understand what you want and can help you achieve them.

This Career Mastery Live will take the guesswork out of having a conversation about your next career move.

  • When to have your promotion conversation so it doesn’t become one high-stakes, pressure-filled moment
  • How to start the conversation without feeling uncomfortable or sounding uncertain
  • How to talk about your promotion in a way that feels natural and professional
  • How to uncover potential obstacles that can stop you from getting promoted
  • How to make a compelling case for promotion and gain your manager’s support

You’ll come away from this coaching session with practical scripts and a more confident approach to one of the most important conversations in your career.
