How to Get Promoted Without Senior Female Role Models

A few years ago, I worked with a fabulous client called Sandie who had no female role models.

She was in a management role at one of the Big 5 banks here in Australia.

Sandie was extremely ambitious and sought me out because…

She just couldn’t get promoted and had simply run out of ideas as to how to make it happen.

Sandie felt alone, exasperated and she really wanted help.

“What’s your number 1 challenge at work Sandie?” I asked her at our first meeting.

“A lack of female mentorship.” she replied, sighing.

“You can not be, what you can not see Rebecca,” she said.

And in some respects, I agreed with her:

Having senior female role models…

Who have blazed a trail before you…

And proven that a certain track to seniority is possible…

Is an extremely powerful motivator.

However…

In Sandie’s world there were next to no senior women leaders…

But that didn’t mean Sandie didn’t have choices.

With me, she explored her options:

1. “I could leave”,  she said.

2. “I could seek out a male mentor who champions women.”

3. “I could work hard to build a personal brand that makes me impossible to ignore any longer.”

Sandie opted for 2 and 3 and the results were impressive.

That…

Combined with the support of her internal mentor…
