    When You're Growing and the People Around You Aren't

    You're growing and feeling distance from the people around you - friends, your partner, your family. The advice online says cut them off. The real answer is more nuanced. Join me on June 23rd for my Visibility & Recognition Workshop morewomenpromoted.com/workshop. Have you been told to "level up and leave them behind"? Or to "find your tribe" and let the rest go? That advice is everywhere online, and it's a little too black-and-white for me. I share the three truths to hold at once when you're changing faster than the people you love. Here's the truth most growth content gets wrong: when you're growing faster than the people around you, the answer isn't "cut them off" or "pretend nothing has changed." It's three things at once, and they're easier to hold than you'd think. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why expecting one person (especially your partner) to serve every purpose in your life is the recipe for resentment nobody warns you aboutThe reframe that turns frustration with your partner's lack of growth into deep gratitude (and how this changed how I think about my marriage)Why the friendships with the deepest roots are worth protecting even when they can't relate to every part of your current lifeHow to know when a friendship is actually pulling you backward (and the Mel Robbins quote that gave me permission to let one go)Where to actively find women on the same growth path as you, and why proximity is the keyRESOURCES MENTIONED Connect with Katy on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/katy-mcfee-3880b4aWeekly newsletter: morewomenpromoted.com/newsletterCurious what it’s like to work together?

    You're Visible, But for the Wrong Things!

    Being visible isn't the same as being visible for the right things. If your name comes up but you're known as "so reliable" or "the fixer," you have a visibility problem. Join my strategic visibility workshop on June 23: morewomenpromoted.com/workshop Have you been told you're "so reliable"? Or that "we couldn't do this without you"? Those compliments feel great, but they may be exactly what's keeping you stuck at director. Here's the truth about visibility most leaders won't tell you: you can be very visible and still not get promoted. The leadership team can know your name, your kids' names, your hobbies, and still not picture you at the next level. Because visibility without strategic positioning just means they know you as a person. It doesn't mean they're thinking of you for what's next. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN The 3 visibility traps that quietly keep smart, high-performing women stuck at director levelWhy being the most reliable executor on the team is a ceiling, not a ladderWhat strategic visibility actually looks like, and the 4 specific moves to start making this monthHow to shift your visibility from being known for your doing to being known for your thinkingThe reframe that takes you from "great team manager" to "business leader" in how leadership perceives youRESOURCES MENTIONED Visibility Workshop, June 23: morewomenpromoted.com/workshopConnect with Katy on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/katy-mcfee-3880b4aWeekly newsletter: insightstoactioncc.com/newsletter Curious what it’s like to work together?

    Are You Actually VP Ready?

    Being VP-ready and being seen as VP-ready are two very different things, and the gap is rarely what you think it is. Take my free quiz to find out exactly where you stand: morewomenpromoted.com/quiz Have you ever been told you need to be "more strategic"? Or that you need to "demonstrate more readiness" before that next promotion? Vague feedback like this is exactly what kept me stuck for years as a director. Here's the truth most leaders won't tell you: VP readiness has almost nothing to do with how well you're doing your current job. The skills that got you to director are table stakes at the next level. What gets you the role is a completely different set of skills that nobody has explicitly taught you. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why being VP-ready and being seen as VP-ready are two completely different things (and which one is actually keeping you stuck)The four specific areas leadership uses to evaluate whether you're ready, broken down with concrete examplesThe most common ways high-performing women unintentionally signal "not ready" without realizing itWhat strategic thinking actually looks like at the VP level (and why getting more certifications won't get you there)Where to start if you've been investing in the wrong skills and didn't know itRESOURCES MENTIONED Are You VP Ready? - free quiz: morewomenpromoted.com/quizConnect with Katy on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/katy-mcfee-3880b4aWeekly newsletter: morewomenpromoted.com/newsletterCurious what it’s like to work together?
