448: You Don't Get What You Deserve—You Get What You Ask For

<p>You were told to wait your turn. Be patient, keep your head down, and eventually it&#39;ll be your time. Here&#39;s the problem: the person who got promoted last quarter didn&#39;t wait for anything.</p><p>...</p><p>In this episode, Marie breaks down why &quot;wait your turn&quot; is one of the most dangerous pieces of advice a woman in a predominantly male industry can follow — and why time in your seat only makes you eligible, never chosen.</p><p><strong>Key takeaways:</strong></p><ul><li>Time in your position makes you eligible. Being chosen is a completely different decision your boss makes about risk — and eligibility alone doesn&#39;t win it.</li><li>Waiting doesn&#39;t remove workplace bias against ambitious women — it just delays the moment you have to face it.</li><li>Your boss sees a fraction of your work. If you&#39;re not making your impact visible, &quot;wait your turn&quot; quietly becomes &quot;wait forever.&quot;</li><li>Four shifts to make instead of waiting: from waiting → asking, time served → building a case, hoping to be noticed → being known, and fair → strategic.</li><li>You&#39;re allowed to want the next seat, ask for it, and build your case before anyone tells you it&#39;s your turn.</li></ul><p><strong>Resources mentioned:</strong> The Obvious Choice™ (Marie&#39;s program on positioning yourself for promotion)</p><p>If this hit home, share it with someone who&#39;s been &quot;waiting their turn&quot; a little too patiently — subscribe and leave a review so more women find the show.</p>
