Jenny Wood spent 18 years at Google, and her advice is simple: meet your boss’s boss at least twice a year. Then pick two or three of your boss’s peers, the ones who have influence and who you actually like, and find a reason to work with them. Ask for mentorship, partner on a project, or offer to present to their team.

🧐Have you ever reached out to your boss’s boss? Tell us how it went.
