professionalism, and grace in the workplace, especially if you want to get
ahead, now take my professional tips that I'm about to give you, and treat them
like gold, and I promise you, you will get there, so let's get to it,
Be respectful even if others are not, ok, I know a lot of times we say, take a look
at what the leader is doing in order to emulate their habits, but sometimes there
are leaders who are not respectful, and hey, shame on them, that is their issue,
not yours, the big thing here, if you want to rise in your organization, and just be
a professional rock star, be respectful to everyone, it doesn't matter who they
are, their job title, their position, where they are in that hierarchical level, you
just want to make sure that you want to treat people the way you
want to be treated, so just be respectful, not only that, be respectful of company
policies whether you like them or not, they're there for a very good reason, and
more importantly, from a respectful stance is, do not badmouth anyone, in fact
do not gossip, I have some great videos that you can check out on my channel
about this topic, it is a killer, and it is so not respectful, so on that note,
really focus on being respectful. Have a positive attitude, okay if you want to be
a professional at work then this becomes really important, have you ever in your
history found someone who is extremely negative, and you thought of them as
professional, if you have, tell me in the link below, because I would have to
challenge you on that, I've come across many people, in many different types of
organizations, and the ones that stand out to me, and that I feel are extremely
professional, are the ones that are very positive, they just have a great outlook
on life, they're always looking to see, how can the organization achieve its
goal, they may even be willing to take on
additional stuff, because they understand the bigger scope of things, that positive
attitude really rubs on people in the right way, which is what you want, and it
can have a beautiful trickle effect, so stay positive, you may be leading others
with your positive attitude, be truthful, in essence don't lie, and not even a
white lie okay, this becomes very grave for a lot of
people, because I think it really comes down to values, what do you
value, and I find those who are really looked at in a professional light, and
I've seen as individuals as a rising star, are ones who really are transparent,
they say it for what it is, they don't sugarcoat things,
now you can be truthful without lying, and still be direct, and honest, and tell
people how it is, you can do it in a very respectful way, so there's ways to go
about it, you just don't want to sugarcoat things, you don't want to have
any lies, it will come and bite you, and you do not want it, so transparency as
well does not mean telling your whole story, and sharing everything,
it just means be truthful, if your telling me lies, you then got to protect those
lies, and you got to have stories around them, and then people will catch you in a
lie, and that's not gonna help your career, it's actually gonna hurt you
tremendously, because, falling from a lie, and trying to pick yourself up, is a lot
more work, a lot more work than trying to keep the lie going, so don't even go down
that road, just be truthful, transparent, honest, and you can do it all in a very
respectful way, always go back and look at what the organization goals are, and
that's how you can link it very easily, and it doesn't have to be hard work,
Check your communication, all right, I'm kind of laughing as I'm saying this,
because I feel like, why am I telling you to do this, my kryptonite is on my
communication, my written communication, I am notorious for having grammar and
spelling mistakes, and I'm about to tell you, make sure you check your emails, and
any communication you have, that they don't have grammar, and spelling mistakes,
now that all being said, I recognize that that's my weakness, that's my kryptonite,
so I will do multiple drafts of things, and
even if something is supercritical, I will give it to someone else to do a
quality check, that's really important, because I would like to think, it doesn't
matter if your grammar is off from a professional standpoint, but I have had
people come up to me, and it is a bee in their bonnet, Adriana you spelled this
wrong, I said yeah, but what about the gist of the information I'm giving you,
the vision I have, everything else, it doesn't even fall on their ears, they are deaf
to it, they're just focused on the grammar, so
yeah, I'm laughing, I'm telling you, check your communication, make sure you don't
have spelling and grammar mistakes, critical, it really, really is, and if you
know you're like me, then by all means enlist as much help as you can get,
now another note that is really important too is, how you speak, come
across with the confidence, because when you speak, and stand, when you stand tall,
and you speak clearly, it also has a huge impact, just like the written
communication, walk and talk like a leader, okay, so what is a leader to do,
they're charismatic, they're energetic, they're empathetic, they are there to
serve, and to ensure that they lift everybody else up, because they
understand that by lifting everybody up around them, you're gonna achieve company
goals, and you're gonna hit strategies, and it really is a win-win for everybody,
now do not bring politics into play, I don't know, I don't know, I've seen this
so often, where people have done that, and if you're gonna walk and talk like a
leader, you need to listen as well, leadership is not just about speaking,
and telling people what to do, that's dictatorship, it is about leading,
and it is about serving, and lifting people up, but also
listening to what they have to say, you will be amazed at the great ideas people
come up with, when the feedback in insight they will give you, and that it's
only gonna help you from a professional standpoint, so if your goal is to be a
rising star, ultimately you want to be a leader, so why don't you start now, and
act like one, now that you have some really great solid tips on how to be
more professional at work, I would like for you to go and grab this from the
link below, and this is how to wow your boss, listen, if you're looking to be a
rock star, it's not just about you professionalism, there are some things
that you have to put in place, and you have to impress your boss, because they
ultimately are the ones who are going to be promoting you, so on that note, please

that you have on professionalism, I'd love to hear from you, until next time,
