Promotion Planning Playbook: A Strategic Career Workbook to Build Your Promotion Case, Scripts & Timeline

Most promotion advice assumes there’s a ladder — and that someone is watching.

In reality, promotions happen through evidence, timing, and strategic conversation — not effort alone.

The Promotion Planning Playbook is a self-guided career workbook built using the Geneèn Wright Career Architecture Methodology, designed to help you take control of your promotion narrative inside modern, often ambiguous organizations.

Rather than vague encouragement, this playbook helps you:

• Clarify what role you’re targeting — and why now

• Build a documented case tied to business impact

• Prepare for promotion conversations with scripts that match real manager behaviors

• Push back strategically when timelines stall or expectations shift

• Track visibility, feedback, and “receipts” so your work travels upward

This is not a motivation workbook.
It’s a practical promotion system.
