 Bridge the Gap: Advocating When Your Champion Is Absent

You’d counted on a trusted colleague or senior leader to highlight your impact — but they’re not at the table. Your manager doesn’t seem to have visibility into some of your proudest work. You can stay silent and hope it surfaces later, or you can speak up in a way that’s grounded, professional, and collaborative. This strategy gives you the tools to highlight your contributions confidently and build credibility without sounding defensive or self-serving. You’ll learn how to reframe your narrative around team outcomes, craft your message thoughtfully, and advocate for your value with clarity and poise.
