In Episode 75 of Promotion Path with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna tackle a subtle but powerful promotion lever: building a strategic network. They break down research from a 2025 McKinsey study showing that executives with diverse networks are 2.3 times more likely to be promoted. Lucas shares a real-world example from a mid-level marketing manager at P&G who landed a director role by cultivating relationships across R&D, finance, and sales—not just within her own department. The hosts discuss practical tactics like the '30-minute rule' for weekly outreach and the difference between a network of allies versus a coalition of advocates. They also address common pitfalls: networkers who collect business cards but never deepen ties, and those who only reach out when they need something. Luna pushes back on whether introverts can do this effectively, and Lucas offers a surprising reframe—strategic networking isn't about being a social butterfly; it's about being a connector of ideas. This episode is packed with concrete steps, not generic advice. #PromotionPath #Careers #StrategicNetworking #McKinsey #P&G #ProfessionalGrowth #Mentorship #Advocates #CrossFunctional #ExecutivePresence #NetworkingTips #CareerAdvice #Introverts #LadderClimbing #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna #CareerStrategy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
