Do you ever feel like you're doing everything right at work, but you're still not going anywhere? You're performing, you're present, but you're not progressing. If a promotion feels far off and there's nothing exciting to look forward to, how do you stay motivated? I'm Octavia Goredema, career coach, author, CEO of Fire Memos, and I break this down in my latest article for Harvard Business Review. You don't need a big move to make a big difference. Here are five small shifts that you can make to reignite your momentum. Go back to your last review. What strengths were highlighted? What next steps were discussed but never acted upon? That document could be the roadmap that you're overlooking. Look for a project that challenges you and aligns with leadership. This can boost your skills and your visibility. If your work feels repetitive, watching how someone else solves problems can actually jolt you out of autopilot. It can help you spot new ways to grow, and you can do this remotely or in person. Explaining your path to someone else can help you make sense of it and surface what matters to you most. Write down three accomplishments at the end of each week. They don't have to be huge. Over time, this builds a record of your growth and makes it easier to advocate for yourself when the time comes. To learn more, you can read the full article at hbr.org.
