Today I published my Lead Positive Profile with Bonnie Marcus, women’s success coach and author of The Politics of Promotion on my Psychology Today blog. In the profile, we tracked the evolution of Bonnie’s heroic journey from kindergarten teacher, to corporate executive, to entrepreneur and successful business coach.
Here are some of the most inspirational quotes from her interview. For the full read, please go here.
On self-promotion
Some people are better at promoting themselves, positioning themselves, but it’s not a personality trait. You can learn it.
On moving to the next level
What happens is you reach a peak and then you kind of plateau or you may even go down a little bit before you recognize, wow, okay, now I need to reinvent myself in some way.
On navigating the politics of promotion
You can be really talented, but if you… don’t understand the realities, the complexities of your organization, you’re not going to be able to move forward.
