This is a topic that comes up time and again with my coaching clients; self promotion being something that many people struggle with and it holds back their career- unless they can find an authentic way to achieve it (which is where I come in!).
In parallel I also work with companies on driving inclusion and workplaces where everyone can be themselves and still reach their potential.
So should self promotion sit with the employee as a 'development skill' or with the employer as an area which needs 'fixing' within recognition and promotion criteria?
I have created this short video with a case study to highlight how a real life example could play out.
How an employer could level the playing field
- Create networking opportunities during work time
- Review the success criteria and promotion processes eg could it have just been based on the target and they both went through?
- Design structured schemes to enable exposure to senior leaders
