How to Get Promoted in 6 Months at Work
How to Build a System That Keeps You Performing at a World-Class Level
Most people think promotions come from working harder. In reality, they’re earned by consistently creating value, earning trust, and becoming indispensable.
In this free masterclass, I’ll share the practical system that helped me get promoted within my first six months at Andela, consistently perform above expectations during my eight years at Meta, and build a career leading high-impact programmes across Meta, Google, and Andela. This isn’t about shortcuts — it’s about building a repeatable system that helps you consistently perform at a level that creates opportunities.

Founder

Over the last 14+ years, I’ve had the opportunity to, amongst many other things:

🚀Scaled programmes at Meta, Google & Andela — 500,000+ creators & developers.
🌍Designed and led a learning program for 9,500+ developers, 79% skill improvement.
💰Led a $7.5M creator incentive programme across 208 creators, impacting hundreds of thousands of players.
👥Grew communities of 130,000+ members.
⭐In 8 years at Meta, consistently earned "Exceeded" or "Greatly Exceeded" ratings — except when too new to a team to be rated.
💼Created employability initiatives generating 260+ opportunities, lifting participation by 400%.
💡Raised over $500,000 in partnerships to drive Program & Developer Training.
🎓Built one of Africa’s largest dev communities — 100,000+ learners — the Andela Learning Community.

My hope is simple: to pour out all that I’ve learned so you don’t have to go through the pain or challenges I have gone through — helping you accelerate your career, expand your impact, and become one of the people who connect technology to the world. I’m excited to build with you.
