Working hard is the BARE MINIMUM.
It’s what’s expected of you.
If it were enough, you'd probably have a higher title and better pay already.
However...
People Get Promoted Every Day, B.
So what is it about them that makes them promotion ready? What about them that makes leadership want to chose them?
To find out, I interviewed 11 Black & Brown Senior & C-Suite level women in HR & Talent Development and asked:
-
Why do some women keep getting promoted while others stay in the same role year after year?
-
What are leaders looking for when they decide someone is ready for a promotion?
-
Are there specific ways Black & Brown women talk themselves out of promotions without ever realizing it?
If these are the kind of questions you want answers to as well, then you’re in the right place.
It’s Giving Promotion is For You!
This is An Audio Summit
So no video, no slides, and no annoying Zoom meetings.
(Think of it like a podcast; you can pop in your earbuds and do the things you need to do while listening & learning.)
New interviews drop every day, Wednesday - Friday at 8AM PST. You’ll also have the weekend to catch up in case life decides to life. (And does!)

Day 1: Identity (Apr 8)
Why being good at your job isn’t always enough, what keeps Black & Brown women categorized as “the worker” instead of “the leader,” & what needs to shift before a promotion can take place.

Meet Your Host
Hey Boo!
I'm Torriel, Career Development & Leadership Coach.
For the past decade, I’ve built career and leadership development programs to move people into better-paying, higher-level roles, especially within Black & Brown communities.
I created this summit because chile, this job market is a hot, flaming mess, and quite honestly, my clients (and I) are tired of so much info being gatekept.
We Deserve to Know
what makes us promotable.
We Deserve to Know
how to play the game like our non-Black and Brown counterparts.
We Deserve to Know
how to get the bag like they do.
So I hope you enjoy this summit as much as I enjoyed recording it.
I dun interviewed some POWERFUL Black & Brown women;
you will NOT be disappointed with what you hear and learn.
...So whatcha waiting on???...
LET'S FRIGGIN' GOOOOOOOO!
