You don’t have a productivity problem. You have a signal problem.
You’re the “go-to” person.
Reliable.
Helpful.
Across everything.
But when promotion conversations happen, your name isn’t anchored to anything specific.
So you think you need to do more.
That’s the trap.
In this episode, we break down the difference between High Output and High Signal, and why being spread across too many tasks quietly dilutes your promotability.
Because promotions aren’t awarded for effort density.
They’re awarded for predictable impact.
This isn’t about working less.
It’s about becoming known for something that compounds.
HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:
1️⃣ High Output is volume. High Signal is clarity – Being busy does not equal being promotable.
2️⃣ Vagueness equals risk – If senior leaders can’t articulate what you’re known for, they won’t confidently back you.
3️⃣ Trade capacity for consistency – Stop proving you can do everything. Start proving what you consistently own.
