What this is

A self-paced course on moving up in leadership deliberately rather than hoping good work gets noticed. It covers six stages: understanding how promotion decisions are actually made, the shift in what each level requires, visibility and reputation, sponsors and networks, positioning for a specific role, and handling the transition once you get it.

It does not promise a promotion or a particular title. It explains how advancement decisions are commonly made and helps you plan deliberately rather than hoping good work gets noticed.

What you will be able to do

  • Understand how promotion decisions are made
  • Identify what the next level requires
  • Build visibility for your work
  • Develop sponsors and allies
  • Navigate leadership transitions
