Welcome to my Friday issue of Peak Performers, sharing my latest high-impact highlights and practical tips to help you stand out, lead with confidence, and land better opportunities.

As always, a big thank you for all of your support 🙌


Getting passed over for promotions hurts, but staying silent guarantees it’ll happen again.

How you respond now determines if you're seen as a leader or a flight risk.

Remember, you’re not here to vent. You’re here to learn, level up, and stay on the radar.

So use my 3-part script to turn disappointment into direction:

1. Start with composure + curiosity

"Thanks again for letting me know about the decision. While I’m of course disappointed, I respect the decision, and I’d love to get some insight on what tipped the scale."

2. Ask for clear gaps + forward focus

"From your perspective, what were the key factors that made the other candidate a better fit right now? What would I need to further demonstrate to be a clear choice next time?"

3. Reaffirm your commitment

"I’m still fully invested in the team and growth here, and I want to channel this feedback into real action. Let’s check in again in [X months] so I can show measurable progress."

Pro tip: The best time to ask is within 48 hours when your performance is still top of mind. Wait too long and the conversation (and opportunity) goes cold.

A missed promotion isn’t the end, unless you act like it is.

Own your reaction, ask better questions, and use it to build your runway with the right support.

You've got this!
