Career Insights

LegUp Career Insights is where we explore the realities of promotion, leadership readiness, and career decision-making without generic advice or motivational fluff.

This content is written for mid-career professionals who want to understand how decisions are actually made inside organizations, why strong performers get stuck, and how to move forward with clarity and confidence.

Career Insights focuses on topics that consistently stall or accelerate careers, including:

• Why high performers don’t get promoted
• How promotion readiness is evaluated
• Visibility, perception, and leadership signals
• When staying makes sense and when it doesn’t
• Common career myths that create risk
• Decision frameworks for career crossroads

This is not job-search content. It’s decision-support content.

LegUp Career Insights is designed for:

• Mid-career professionals aiming for promotion
• Leaders preparing for broader responsibility
• High performers who feel overlooked or stalled
• Professionals facing “stay or go” decisions
• Anyone who wants clarity before making a major career move

If you’re early in your career or actively job hunting, this content may not be a fit.

If you’re navigating real career decisions, it is.

Most articles fall into one of three categories:

• Promotion Strategy
  Understanding why advancement stalls and what changes matter most.
• Career Clarity
  Evaluating whether to stay, grow, or move on with less risk.
• Leadership Readiness
  Recognizing the signals decision-makers look for before promoting.

Each article is designed to help you think more clearly, not overwhelm you.

If you’re unsure where you stand, the fastest way to get oriented is the Promotion Readiness Assessment. It helps identify:

• How your work style is likely being perceived
• Which promotion signals you may be missing
• Where to focus before pushing for the next level

Insights help clarify thinking. Strategy helps turn clarity into action.

If promotion or career direction is your goal, these services may help:

• Promotion Strategy Coaching
• Career Clarity Coaching

You’re not required to book anything. This content stands on its own.
