Ep 88 – Is Your Boss Limiting Your Opportunities? 5 Questions to Break the Stalemate

What do you do if your boss just won’t give you that next stretching opportunity? Here’s how to start making things happen in your career.

 

 

What do you do if your boss…

  • Won’t give you that next stretching opportunity…?
  • Doesn’t see you as ‘strategic’ or ready for that step up…?
  • Isn’t giving you the chance to show what you can really do…?

I have clients who have said to me…

“Everybody seems to be happy with where I am right now… everyone from my boss right up to the VP… everyone, that is, except for me.”

So if that’s you…. you’ll get a lot of goodness out of today’s conversation.

 

In this episode I am sharing:

1. 5 common scenarios that mean you’re feeling overlooked in your career right now

2. A discussion of how your boss could be ‘pigeonholing’ or ‘limiting’ you in your career right now

3. And 5 coaching questions you can ask yourself right now.. to help you start challenging this stalemate and getting more of the outcomes you want from your career!

Are you ready???

 

Here’s something interesting I said in this ep:

You don’t want to fall victim of just assuming your boss knows what you want. Just taking on more responsibility or working even harder doesn’t necessarily equate in their mind to realising you are doing all this because you actually want a promotion.”  (Rebecca Allen, host of Her Ambitious Career podcast)
