You work hard.

You’re reliable, helpful, across multiple projects, and are constantly busy.

But when promotion conversations happen, your name isn’t the obvious choice.

Why?

It’s not a productivity problem.

It’s a Signal problem.

In this episode of Success Subtext, I break down the difference between High Output and High Signal, and why doing more at work can actually reduce your promotion chances.

You’ll learn:

• Why working harder doesn’t guarantee promotion

• How managers really decide who gets promoted

• The hidden risk of being “helpful” across everything

• Why predictable impact matters more than effort

• How to shift from being impressive to being promotable

If you’ve ever wondered, “Why am I not getting promoted even though I work hard?”

This episode is for you.

I’m Jag Dhaliwal. Let’s keep looking at the subtext.

Ever wonder why your discipline keeps failing, despite all your best intentions? This episode #3 of Success Subtext reveals a critical truth: You don’t lack discipline. You lack self-trust. Breaking small promises to yourself quietly impacts your confidence and control.

Most high performers are reliable for everyone else but struggle to keep promises to themselves. Discipline isn’t about motivation or willpower. It’s about integrity and keeping your word, even when life is messy.

Jag Dhaliwal ACA runs a “Self-Audit” on your habits, showing how subtle gaps between intention and action chip away at confidence, and how 'Settled Decisions' can rebuild trust in yourself.

In this episode, we’ll dive deep into:

• The Self-Audit: Where Integrity Breaks Down
• Settled Decisions vs. Daily Negotiations
• Discipline as an Anchor in Hard Times
• Rebuilding Self-Trust
