How to Act Like a Senior in Your Career

Year end is creeping in and so are promotion cycles. If you’re already thinking about how to advocate for yourself, this one’s for you. Senior energy isn’t earned only through tenure. It’s shaped by how you talk about your work, the way you make decisions, and the confidence you bring into every room. Early-career women often do the work of someone levels above them, but don’t always get seen that way. That’s where communication becomes power. Small shifts can change everything: focusing on outcomes, taking ownership, anticipating what’s next, and showing that you understand the bigger picture. These are the signals that help people experience you as senior, even before your title reflects it. Build the voice now so the recognition follows. 💥 If you want support building this muscle, our community and career coaches help you practice it in real time. Join Toast and get the tools, guidance, and women who’ll champion you from junior to senior. 🍞 https://lnkd.in/g4XbnnVV
