I work hard and my team, director and VP is always celebrating me, even other teams that I work with outside my department. I am innovative and proactive but I feel stuck in a company that is growing rapidly and a team that is killing it in the business, what should I do to not bee too hard on myself because I know I am doing a great job?

Talk to your director and VP about other roles you're qualified for and interested in. They're celebrating you because you are a huge asset to the team; it is in their interest to keep you invested in the company. Other than that, maybe look into personal development resources to boost your confidence and self esteem. It sounds like outside accolades don't do much for you, so you need to learn how to be your own best supporter.

I appreciate the feedback. Yes, I spoke with my director on Wednesday, had my quarterly IDP and she said she sees how valuable I am, so yes, I am definitely going to look into self development to help me speak up for myself and have the hard conversations! 😊

Thanks!
