If you’re sick of pushing so hard for your promotion, tired of grinding through the steps to demonstrate your leadership, or even ready to step away from the whole corporate *thing,* there’s a good chance you’re making your promotion about yourself. And of course it’s about you because it's your promotion, right? But in a bigger sense, it’s not about you—not even remotely. Understand that your promotion benefits *everyone.* Maybe it helps your company make more money. Maybe it makes your boss’s job easier (it should!). But definitely it gives you a voice at the table and helps to transform the face of leadership and lift other women up behind you. That matters because you matter. And you matter because you have so much more to give before you retire. The thing you have to give is what matters. And that’s why your promotion matters. Let that thought fuel your energy to keep going.
