About this episode

Lindsay Lyman discusses five signs that indicate you're ready for a promotion, encouraging listeners to recognize their own readiness.

I see this pattern all the time with my coaching clients: brilliant professionals stuck waiting for someone else to tell them they're ready for a promotion. You're probably more ready than you think. Today I'm breaking down the five clear signs that scream "promotion time" - even when your brain is telling you otherwise. This isn't about impostor syndrome or waiting for the perfect moment. It's about recognizing when you're already operating at the next level. Here's what we cover: · Why doing next-level work without next-level pay is basically theft · The leadership behaviors you're already showing (and don't realize) · How workplace anxiety and boredom signal it's time to level up · Why waiting for permission keeps high-performers stuck · The mindset shift that gets results Your company wouldn't hesitate to fire underperformers, so why are you hesitating to advocate for what you deserve? If you're tired of toxic workplace dynamics holding back your career growth, this episode gives you the clarity to take action. Ready to stop the workplace drama cycle?
