In short, you must show initiative at work. During company meeting, don't just sit back and enjoy the time away from your cubicle.

Enroll yourself in courses to improve your knowledge or get extra qualification that will give you the edges for that promotion. And i have invest a lot of my time into this area before.

Take The Lead

Look for opportunities to take the lead on new assignments, even if they appear to be risky or unpleasant. When no one is willing to take change on a particular initiative, you can volunteer for the task and use the opportunity to demonstrate your leadership ability, which your boss may have overlooked up to this point. But, make sure you are fully equipped with the necessary skills and time to take on the project, or the plan will backfire and make you look really bad instead.
