Have you ever wondered how some people with half a talent who put in half the effort as you get all of the
recognition and not to mention the promotion that you deserve if you've been working on getting to the next up level in your career and
What you're doing isn't working stick around here because I'm going to share four tips to getting the promotion that you deserve
Before we get into it. Let me take a moment to introduce myself
My name is Jennifer brick and I'm a career success catalyst here at cap deca Solutions
Have you been killing yourself? Trying to land your next promotion at work?
I work with a lot of super ambitious top performers and they've been doing all of the right things to get ahead
The thing is that those things aren't the things that are going to get them ahead
And that's why I want to share with you today four tips to accelerate your career
The first tip that I have is focusing on an impact
This is one of the biggest mistakes that I see professionals make they're focusing on the wrong things
What makes you successful in your current role isn't actually necessarily what's preparing you for that up level in your career that you're working for
You need to know what impacts what strategic
Priorities your organization has and how you can actually create those in order to demonstrate your readiness for your promotion
You need to focus on the right things things that are going to get you ahead
So that you can stop spinning your wheels and start actually accelerating your career
now once you've determined what those things are that are going to move you had the next thing that you need to do is
You need to market yourself strategically now if you're a female
You're probably facing a double bind and you feel like you have one of two unfavorable options
Option 1 you can self promote and no one's gonna like you because they think you're full of yourself
they kind of think you're a bee with a niche or
option two you
Never promote yourself because you want people to like you but then the thing is that no one knows the work that you've actually done
You never get the credit or recognition for it. Maybe someone even comes along and takes that credit on your behalf
How nice of them and then they get the promotion instead of you
Neither of these is going to work for you
But the great news is there's a third option that most people aren't aware of and that is leveraging your network of advocates
Which brings me directly into my third tip, your network of advocates is super powerful
I know when I say network of advocates you're thinking about sponsors and mentor and how every single career guru out there is
Telling you that you need these people, but they're not actually giving you any strategies on how to acquire them
The thing is these people are important and getting them in your corner is going to really be rocket fuel on your career
But your network of advocates extends beyond your mentors and sponsors
it really includes anyone who is a cheerleader for you who can help connect you with opportunity or help evangelize and
market you within your organization and
finally the fourth tip and it's kind of related to the first tip but not really and that is a lot of people think that
If they want to be a leader that they have to have the title before they actually start leading and that's not right at all
That's actually entirely wrong. If you want to be a leader the best way to get there is to begin leading from wherever you are
Leadership simply means knowing the power that you already have
Sharing your vision and having other people buy in and being able to inspire action to create fantastic results
Now if you don't believe me
These are the four strategies that I employed to move my career from entry-level to executive in just three years
They really work and since I figured them out and applied them to my own career
I've been working with ambitious
professionals ever since for them to do the same
