    Starting in a new job. Want to make a good impression and show capability while still upskilling. Goal is to be promoted in a years time. My manager likes subtle ways to be promoted doesn’t like people self advocacy and too obvious with their motivations. As a woman how can I do this subtly and communicate I’m working at an executive directors level?
