Many mid-level managers find it difficult to rise to senior leadership positions due to reasons beyond their control, such as long-tenured individuals in higher roles or organizational constraints. The journey of two COOs, Megan Bock and Lauren Reyes, illustrates that articulating ambitions and overcoming self-doubt are critical for advancement. Both executives experienced stalled careers but found ways to accelerate their professional development. Sharing insights from their own experiences, they emphasize the importance of effective communication and self-belief in navigating career progression.
"I think in early days, I perhaps wasn't as effective at articulating that I wanted to do more. As more time passed, I got more explicit."
"I joke with my mom all the time that I feel like I've been not qualified for every job that I've applied for and gotten. And in actuality, I was qualified."
