I wasn’t visible enough (through feedback). I did my job very well, but I was introverted in a way and didn’t showcase a lot of what I’ve accomplished and built.

This is a struggle. I am grateful that my leadership puts a heavy focus on getting me and my team in front of the decision-makers in the company. I have presented to 5 layers over my head, as well as to all employees under 4 layers above me (5k people).

In previous roles I was only allowed to speak to my boss and be in the room with his boss if he were to ask any question my boss was not comfortable with.

I am very grateful for the leadership I currently have and how they put such a focus on our growth by pushing us so far out of our comfort zone.
