Being promoted is a big step – especially when it’s within your existing organisation.
You know the culture. You’ve built relationships. But you’re also stepping into a new identity – and that can come with challenges. How do you lead with clarity when the people around you still see you as a colleague, not a leader?
In this episode of the Quiet Leadership Revolution podcast, Juliet and Lucy explore what makes internal promotions uniquely tricky – and how to navigate them with purpose, confidence and fairness.
They discuss:
- The shift from doing to leading – and why it’s not just a new desk and job title
- Why clear boundaries matter more than ever
- How to guide others to see you and your role differently
- Line-managing former peers – why it can feel awkward and how to do it fairly
- Why your support network matters – and the power of asking for help
If you’ve recently stepped up into a new leadership role – or are supporting someone who has – this episode offers practical strategies and honest insights to help you lead well and make the transition smoother for everyone.
