each of the questions from 28 to 32.
Education has been the focus of media attention since the virus has intermittently closed classrooms and campuses
over the past year. But despite the disruption, the widespread shift to online learning has given learners and education
providers a glimpse of the future.
For our latest Better Managers Briefing. I spoke with Paul Geddes - CEO of technology training provider QA; and
Tim Stewart – the vice chancellor of BPP University and a professor of business education.
Taking education online was the first and most obvious short-term delivery impact of the pandemic. For example,
Tim says that for him and BPP as an awarding body, the biggest accomplishment was being able to move assessments
online, enabling thousands of students to sit hundreds of exams under Supervision and be able to continue gaining
credits and to graduate. "Inevitably, after the pandemic, some of this will move back offline," he predicts, "but I think
we will see a much more significant role for online teaching, online assessment, online socializing and online
libraries."
Mixing "on-demand" digital delivery with live online learning has been essential at QA, says Paul. "For learners,
live lessons mean that you're more likely to tum up, you're focused, you're going to pay attention and not be

distracted... because your trainer could ask you a question at any time," he says. "You can ask questions, you're part of
a cohort that can learn from each other and the subject matter can be tailored to your understanding." Paul believes, "If
you're in a cohort of learners, it's still important that you can have a cup of coffee with them and chat through what
you've just learned in class. But I don't think things will return fully to where they were in terms of physical
attendance."

There's more to getting promoted than showing up and working hard. It's about going the extra mile and exceeding
expectations, said Ian Siegel, CEO of ZipRecruiter. But if you think you're doing that and you still aren't reaping the
rewards, the reasons why you aren't moving up could be a little more subtle. Managers are often in charge of a lot
of people. So, don't shy away from directly asking for a promotion. "Make it an actual topic of conversation," said Joel
Garfinkle, executive coach and author of the book Getting Ahead: Three Steps to Take Your Career to the Next Level.
"You need to share your aspirations openly and specifically with your boss and ask exactly what you need to do to get
promoted.", added Garfinkle.
Doing your job does not show that you're a leader. "Working hard doesn't mean you will get promoted, you have to
demonstrate that you are going to be better for the company at the higher level." said Kathy Caprino, career and

executive coach. And that means finding ways to showcase your leadership capabilities. For instance, raise your hand
to manage a new project, or volunteer to teach a session at work in an area of your expertise.
Also, it's imperative that the people above and below you respect you. "If your boss doesn't like you, you aren't
getting a promotion," said Carpino. Being a team player is also crucial. “Working well with others is incredibly
important for people to see you as a valued partner," said Blair December, a career expert. Asking for feedback from
(peers after a project or assignment can help open the lines of communication and keep relationships strong, she
added.
Finally, remember that being good at what you do doesn't mean you are ready to move on to the next level. Don't
just look at the job description of your current job. Review the responsibilities of the role above you and look for any
gaps or areas where you can improve. "Look at the next level and what that position requires and then look at your
current skill set and the ability to do that position and work toward closing that gap.", recommended Garfinkle.
