My CEO just publicly praised a male colleague for a strategy I pitched in a leadership meeting three weeks ago. When I gently reminded him that I’d introduced it first, he laughed and said, “Oh right you soft-launched it.” I smiled, but inside I was fuming. It wasn’t a soft launch, it was ignored until a man repeated it. How do you handle these casual moments of erasure without sounding petty or defensive?

Sounds like you did a good job of reminding him you did the work. Sadly, that's about all you can do without making a stink. And once you take it further, you can get labeled a problem, which from my experience can be both freeing and career damaging. Don't stay quiet, but be measured.

I think that is not going to be an isolated incident. So you have to be prepared for introducing pitches properly in the future

What differently he did than you? It’s frustrating for sure but I guess the takeaway is never let it happen again for the same reason at least

OP - I am so sorry to hear that. I have been in similar situations recently where one particular collegue keeps stealing my ideas and strategies. Unfortunately , this person has been put directly on my chain of command recently but don’t have any leadership integrity. They have actively worked to block my access / visibility to anyone above them. I can only hope karma gets to them.
