# 12 Steps to Boost Your Value for 2027. Get Unstuck. Get Promoted.

![12 Steps to Boost Your Value for 2027. Get Unstuck. Get Promoted.](https://www.engineeringleaders.io/_astro/meetup-37.GCQlPYJA_Z2tTe3b.webp)

Stop Being Good and Start Being Great. Your Summer Plan.

You are a software developer, an engineering manager, a tech lead, a director, or a CTO.

If you’re growing fast, it’s not because you’re the most skilled person in the room. It’s because you know exactly what you bring to the table, and you can show it.

If you’re not?

Whether you want to lead a bigger initiative, get promoted, or simply stop feeling undervalued in a role you actually like, the steps are the same.

In this talk, I’ll walk you through 12 concrete steps to go from good to impossible to ignore:

How to find your unique differentiator. The thing that makes you shine.

The success inventory. Documenting what you’ve built, led, and solved. Because your manager won’t do it for you.

Shifting from task language to impact language.

Your 60-second story. Who you are and where you’re going, delivered with confidence.

Building real professional relationships. Not collecting LinkedIn connections.

Guide to start being present in the social networks.

Result: A 90-day summer plan you can start executing tomorrow.

This is a practical, structured talk. No hype, no scare tactics. You’ll leave with a personal framework and a clear next step.

Speakers:

▷ Petr Kubelka (Mews) on leading people and AI

▷ Yurii Bliuchak (Apify) on finding your value and showing it

▷ Emre Karabulut (acttp.org) on running community and beating your demons

▷ Vojtech Masek (FlowUp) on tech speaking the language of sales

Want to raise your market value?

Come listen. Ask questions. Push back.

You walk out with summer homework to get you ready for 2027.
