STOP taking “just-in-case” meeting notes.
Start taking career-building notes.
In every project review I’ve ever sat through, the promotable people share one trait:
they can prove their impact—fast.
Turns out, strategic note-taking is a shortcut to that proof.
🧠 The Brain Boost
Hand-written or well-structured digital notes trigger deeper memory pathways, so you recall the why behind decisions weeks later—without digging through chat logs.
📈 The Promotion Pay-off
When managers debate “Who’s ready for the next step?”, clear, time-stamped evidence of wins and follow-ups speaks louder than self-promotion ever could.
