Speak up, or prepare a brief summary describing your idea. I see employees in action in their environments.

Why self-promotion is essential for your career—and yet so hard to do. Many of you stepped up and shared some of your own notes, questions and links to help me recreate what was lost.

If you don’t have a weekly meeting, it’s time to set up one so your manager can stay connected to what you’re doing. Are things like a flexible schedule, ability to telecommute, additional days off, other company perks, or an off-cycle promotion an option? These are all forms of compensation that don’t necessarily involve a promotion.
