grammar - conjunction-reduction in the sentence



My work ethic together with belief in my ability has led to progress.



Can linking phrases with together with/combined with/along with/as-well-as be seen as using conjunction-reduction so that the first "my" applies to "belief" too?


If ethic and belief were connected by "and" then certainly it would apply but the question is whether it does for the above linkers without other modifications to the sentence.
