As end of year approaches, this is also the time many people start to consider their career moves.  In this episode I bring you a quick, honest chat about why negotiating a promotion internally is often smarter than jumping to a new company — plus simple strategies to confidently ask for (and secure) the senior role you deserve.

Key Takeaways 
Staying in your company gives you leverage because you already have trust, relationships, and a proven track record.
Internal promotions let you negotiate more than just salary — including flexibility, leadership scope, and wellbeing benefits.
Leaving a company means starting from zero again with no social capital or reputation equity.
Senior leaders promote people who show long-term commitment and strategic thinking.
You can grow faster internally because your work is already visible and valued.
Preparing evidence of your impact (“receipts”) strengthens your promotion case.
A promotion should always be framed as a business solution, not a personal desire.
Booking a dedicated conversation with your boss makes the negotiation intentional, not awkward.
Naming the role, responsibility level, and salary you want shows confidence and clarity.
Leadership advancement isn’t luck — it’s a deliberate negotiation and a self-advocacy skill anyone can learn.

Lala Angel Wang

Mum to baby George and a construction professional who has been working in the industry for the last 15 years in Sydney, Australia.

Early on in her career she wasn o stranger to burnout from work.  Having experienced a quarter life crisis in her early 30s, Lala burnt everything down and started from scratch.

Since becoming a mum Lala noticed the lack of guidance and supports are available for corporate women to transition through various stages of their lives and how often she heard about other women talk about the loneliness that they feel as career women, partners wives, and working mums.

Now in her 40s, Lala has a strong desire to share her experiences as well as the experiences of other women around the world so others don't have to make the same mistakes again.

And hopefully bring able to provide the best life and freedom for themselves, as well as the family. It is her desire to support the modern day, corporate woman. To create a life that they truly desire by tapping into their feminine flow through loving themselves, knowing themselves, and reconnecting with themselves.
