Promotion Readiness Map for High Performers | Translate Your Impact Into Executive Language
How do I get promoted when my feedback is vague?
Define promotion readiness in observable behaviors, build portable proof of outcomes, map sponsorship, and use a simple executive translation frame so your impact is easy to see and advocate for.
🧭 What this tool does
If you are doing strong work but feedback stays vague, you do not need more effort. You need legibility.
The Promotion Readiness Map is a 30–45 day, fillable plan that helps you translate what you do into strategic language so leaders can see, repeat, and advocate for your contribution.
This is not a motivation tool. It is a visibility and sponsorship system.
You consistently deliver, but recognition is inconsistent.
You hear “keep doing what you’re doing,” but cannot get a straight answer on what “ready” means.
You are doing work that matters, but it is not traveling upward.
You want to ask for promotion conversations with clarity, not anxiety.
Clear “ready” criteria in observable behaviors (not vibes)
A portable proof inventory of outcomes leaders care about
A sponsor map so you know who influences the decision and how to engage them
A simple translation frame to communicate impact in executive terms
Clean visibility actions that reduce performance and increase trust
A way to convert vague feedback into usable criteria
A weekly experiment plan so you move steadily, not reactively
A 12-page fillable PDF with a 7-step sequence:
Define “ready” in observable terms
Build portable proof
Map sponsors and low-risk sponsorship
Translate your work for executives
Create clean visibility without performing
Convert vague feedback into usable criteria
Run the 30–45 day promotion experiment
Fill it out on your computer or tablet, or print it.
Designed for reuse in skip-levels, performance conversations, and promotion cycles.
This tool cannot guarantee a promotion. It can guarantee something more useful: a structured way to make your value visible, repeatable, and decision-ready.
Format: Fillable PDF
Length: 12 pages
Use: Digital or print
Best for: High performers, senior ICs, new managers, and anyone navigating ambiguous advancement criteria
