Your Worthy Career
Welcome to Your Worthy Career, a podcast with Melissa Lawrence, a Career & Leadership Coach and former Talent & Development leader inside Pharma that helps women in Pharma and Biotech design their unique career path and build the skills to get a new job, get promotion, and advance their career.
Your Worthy Career
It's Not About the Title
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This is for the woman who’s aiming for a promotion (or a bigger external role) and keeps thinking, If I could just get that title, everything would feel different.
Today we are going beyond the title to talk about the messy middle, what drives advancement and the critical part needed to reach your advancement goal. When you don’t understand your deeper “why,” you can end up pushing for something that isn’t actually the solution… or finally getting it and realizing it feels hollow.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why I ask “why” first when someone says they want a promotion title—and the common answers that quietly stall progress
- The three deeper drivers I hear most often and what each one actually requires in Pharma/Biotech
- Why “I earned it” and “I work hard” rarely works as a promotion strategy in complex organizations
