You have a general career plan and know you're capable of performing well in a more senior role, but you're not totally excited about doing the work to make it happen.
Applying to other companies with no responses or not getting recognized for a promotion inside your company is not what you expected.
How do you solve this problem when there's a high cost of doing nothing?
The answer is for talented technology leaders to take a proactive role and
market themselves for a career they want to pursue.
Some technologists talk about the topic of leadership in safe, siloed environments such as with colleagues and subordinates at work. Or they post quotes and share articles online and project their leadership by association in their
post topics.
But confident leadership can become real for those that are willing to step out of their comfort zone and challenge their fear of:
Networking with peers and people they don't know
Talking about themselves & their value to help others (not to be mistaken as "bragging").
The Solution
Articulating value to peers, colleagues, stakeholders and hiring managers can be the single most powerful way to stand out as a resourceful leader for your network and make you the obvious choice for the next senior roles out there.
When you become a confident leader that communicates your value proposition with your network and peers, the result can be abundant job opportunities for faster career advancement and more compensation.
In order to demonstrate yourself as the solution, and the best person for the role, you must first believe that you are that person. That's when your influence becomes contagious and you have MULTIPLE job opportunities.
