Areej Mehdi graduated from the Fix The Broken Rung career accelerator in June. A few months later, she secured a promotion. And because Fix The Broken Rung's mission is to help one million women of color get promoted, we asked her to give us a play-by-play of how she did it. From Areej: ************* The Fix The Broken Rung Accelerator taught me that having a clear promotion strategy is key. I learned a step-by-step process, complete with milestones and deadlines, that kept me focused and efficient. 🪜 Define your promotion goal: Take the time to clearly articulate the role and level of responsibility you aspire to. Being specific allows you to break down the necessary qualifications and identify the steps required to achieve your goal. Aim for a role that offers growth opportunities both within and outside your current organization. 🪜 Define the ICP (Ideal Candidate Profile): Create a summary of the skills and experiences you need to acquire to qualify for the promotion. Look beyond the company's career ladder and identify the specific skill gaps you must fill. Think about the results you need to deliver to demonstrate your readiness for the promotion and consider the projects you can work on or initiate to achieve those results. 🪜 Learn the talent management process: Gain a deep understanding of your company's talent management process. Familiarize yourself with the talent calibration process and schedule a separate meeting with your manager. Seek an honest assessment of your current skills and work together to create a plan to address any gaps. Regular quarterly check-ins will help you track your progress. 🪜 Develop advocates and manage your brand: Cultivate relationships with advocates within and outside your company. Connect with individuals who hold the position you aspire to and learn from their experiences. Additionally, focus on managing your personal brand by showcasing your capabilities and the value you bring to the table. 🪜 Make your business case for promotion: When the time is right, present a compelling business case for your promotion. Showcase your accomplishments, highlight the impact you've made, and align yourself with the organization's goals. Clearly articulate the value you bring and how your promotion would benefit the team and company. Remember, success is not solely about working harder but working smarter. By following these steps and implementing a strategic approach, we can navigate our career paths with confidence and purpose. Let's unlock our full potential, break down barriers, and pave the way for future generations of racialized immigrant women. ************* Congratulations, Areej, on a very well-deserved promotion! 👉🏽 If you know someone looking to step up their career, share this post with them!
