Doing more, but getting passed over?
We compare your responsibilities and results with promotion expectations, then prepare the questions and examples for your manager conversation.

What we look at
What the evidence can tell you
Results, feedback, repeated responsibilities, stakeholder trust, difficult situations, and the work people already bring to you can reveal both readiness and gaps.
- Evidence is stronger when it names the change, not only the activity.
- Missing feedback lowers confidence; it doesn’t erase your experience.
- The recommendation stays grounded in your actual environment.

How we build your plan
HOW RYZE GUIDES HELPS YOU
Turn experience into a career move other people can understand.
We help you separate the move itself from the evidence, relationships, and conversations it needs—then put the next steps in order.
01 / Define the moveWe clarify the career move you're actually making.
A promotion, new leadership responsibility, or lateral change creates different evidence gaps, stakeholders, and next moves.

First Moves · 30-day walkthrough
Good work, but no clear path to promotion
This shows what a plan could cover, not a finished document or a customer result. Yours would reflect your situation and the time you have.
What's getting in the way
We'd separate three possible problems: unclear promotion criteria, work that doesn't demonstrate the next level, and results the decision-makers haven't seen. Your plan would explain what to clarify first rather than simply telling you to work harder.
A detailed month of action
- Week 1: Write down the role you want and what you understand about its expectations. Identify the gaps you need to clarify.
- Week 2: Have a focused conversation with your manager about the criteria, decision-makers, and next opportunity.
- Week 3: Choose one piece of work that can demonstrate the missing experience. Make the expected result and your responsibility clear.
- Week 4: Record the outcome and discuss what it shows. Decide whether the next step is more evidence, a clearer commitment, or exploring another route.
A conversation guide for your next meeting
Your tool could help you ask: What would you need to see to support my next move? Which opportunity could demonstrate it? Who else is involved in the decision? When should we review progress?
Do you have a clearer agreement about the next step?
You'd look for specific expectations and an agreed opportunity, not just encouraging feedback. At day 30, you'd decide what you can act on and what remains uncertain. The plan can't promise a promotion.
First Moves includes one practical tool. Strategic Path and Master Plan add the materials listed below, with detailed actions throughout three or six months. Each is a one-time written plan; coaching and ongoing support are separate.

Do I need to be pursuing a promotion?
No. The same process can help with a recent promotion, stronger leadership, greater influence, or a change in direction.
Will this tell me what my employer will decide?
No. It helps you prepare evidence, choices, and conversations. Other people and organizations still make independent decisions.
What if my manager is part of the problem?
The plan can separate what you control, what needs a direct conversation, what requires another stakeholder, and when an external move deserves consideration.
