đź’ˇ Key Insights & Takeaways
1. Hard work doesn’t get you promoted—visibility does.
Executives don’t just promote the best workers—they promote the people they know, trust, and see as leaders. Are you top of mind? Or are you the best-kept secret?
2. Build an “F-U Network” to bulletproof your career.
It’s not just about knowing people—it’s about building leverage. I’ll teach you how to create a network that supports you, advocates for you, and protects you from unexpected career setbacks.
3. Executive communication is a game-changer.
It’s not just about being right—it’s about being heard. I’ll show you how to speak with confidence, clarity, and presence, so your ideas land with impact.
