Thanks for the insightful video . While pitching for promotion , would it be ideal to talk to leadership with presentation on career path and developmental plan
I suggest a conversation first rather than a presentation. Here are some tips that might help you: Firstly Prepare Reflect on your achievements, skills, and areas where you've made significant contributions. Be honest about your strengths and areas for improvement. Know the supporting evidence and examples demonstrating your accomplishments, such as successful projects and instances where you've gone above and beyond. Set up the meeting Request a meeting with your manager to discuss your career progression. Ensure it’s a time when your manager can give you their full attention. Let them know beforehand that you want to discuss your career growth and potential promotion so they can prepare. In the Meeting - have a conversation. Thank your manager for their time and support in your current role. Clearly state your interest in a promotion and desire to take on more responsibilities. e.g. “I appreciate the opportunities I’ve had to grow in my current role and would like to discuss my potential for a promotion to [position].” Share and discuss specific examples of your accomplishments and how they’ve positively impacted the team or organisation. e.g. “In the past year, I led the [project], which resulted in a [X%] increase in efficiency and saved the company [Y amount] in costs.” Link your skills and experiences to the requirements of the desired role. Highlight any additional training or certifications you've obtained. Provide examples of your leadership - where you can show you are already playing the “future game.” And then see what they say. If they think you are ready, ask them what you need to do to get to that role. If they have reservations, ask questions to fully understand why, what the gap is, and what they think you need to do to fill it. Stay positive! 🙂 Afterwards, document the conversation and send a follow-up email to your manager to confirm your understanding and commitment. I hope this helps and that you are successful in your promotion.🚀
