"On paper, you might be doing well. You are competent, reliable, and often the person others turn to when something needs to get done. Yet, inside, you may feel flat, stalled, or unsure what comes next. You are not alone in this. In our work with women across industries and countries, we see the same patterns appear again and again. The good news is that once you can see what is keeping you stuck, you can begin to change it."
"You may be stuck if you notice some of the following: You have not progressed in role, scope, or responsibility for some time. You feel bored, underused, or disconnected from your work. You are working hard, but your efforts are not translating into visible advancement. You are unsure what you actually want next, so you stay where you are. You keep thinking about making a change, but take little or no action."
Many competent, reliable professionals can feel flat, stalled, or unsure what comes next despite external success. Common signs of being stuck include lack of progression, boredom, underuse, efforts not translating into advancement, uncertainty about next steps, and repeated thinking about change without action. This does not indicate failure but signals a need for deliberate career attention. One major cause is unclear direction: being consumed by current delivery leaves little time to define a 12–24 month role, desired leadership or expertise, and daily work feeling. Another cause is visibility gaps: strong delivery alone does not ensure recognition for strategic value.
