2026-06-09
You keep delivering. You keep saying yes to more responsibility. And somewhere in the back of your mind, you tell yourself it's just not the right time to ask for the title, the raise, the recognition you've been waiting on.

In this episode, I'll cover:
Why silence signals satisfaction, even when you're anything but
The 90-day window that determines whether your yes becomes leverage or assumption
Three moves to take in the next 72 hours so you stop leaving it on the table
