ShAnita Miller discusses three crucial career moves for Q2 that many women overlook to achieve their professional goals.

3 Career Moves to Make in Q2 (That Most Women Skip) | Power & Prime Podcast Host Anita Miller explains why Q1 is largely administrative—performance reviews, bonus discussions, and goal-setting—and argues that Q2 is when professionals should make three key career moves to reach 2026 goals amid workplace change and AI-driven uncertainty. Move 1 is to assess what Q1 revealed about your positioning, focusing on perception, language used to describe you, and whether you're known only as a "doer" versus someone valued for influence, communication, relationships, and judgment. Move 2 is to decide what you want on record by the end of Q2, since mid-year touchpoints and leadership ranking discussions shape promotions, restructuring decisions, and future compensation planning. Move 3 is to name and design a Q2 strategy (not just a plan), prioritizing relationships, influence, and intentional visibility to shape how leaders talk about you.
