Reality
Sometimes no one says “you can’t grow.”
You just:
Stop being included
Stop owning strategic work
Stop influencing decisions
Hard Truth
If your scope hasn’t expanded in 12–18 months, you likely hit a ceiling.
Senior Move
Ask directly:
“What would I need to demonstrate to move to the next level?”
If the answer is vague, growth may not be structurally possible.
Today’s Action
Schedule a career trajectory conversation.
Force clarity.
