You’re Great, But… Keith Anderson on the Hidden Signals That Get You Promoted

You can be excellent at your job and still feel stalled. That does not mean you lack ability. It often means the room has not connected your performance to leadership readiness. In this episode of Your Next Success, I sit down with Keith Anderson, former Meta and DoorDash leader and founder of Career Alchemy Lab. After hiring over a hundred professionals inside big tech, Keith has seen firsthand what separates those who move up from those who stay stuck. He breaks down the invisible trust signals leaders respond to long before a promotion conversation ever happens. We talk about why praise without advancement keeps happening, how perception shapes opportunity, and what to do when you keep hearing “You’re great, but…” without clear direction. Keith also shares his own story of navigating the corporate ladder largely on his own, redefining his worth, and building career momentum without waiting for permission.
