If you want to succeed at work, you have to make an impact.
But not just any impact, because if you want them to ship you,
you have to give a SHIP. That's a strategic high-impact project.
Let me explain. Hello and welcome back to my channel,
where I help you slay your career and cultivate the successful life you deserve.
I'm so glad that you're here because today's video is all about how to succeed
at work.
Even now you can have all of the career growth and success at work that you
want.
As long as you have the right career advancement strategies in place today, I.
'm going to be sharing exactly that these are the exact same strategies that my
clients have used to get the promotions, the position, the praise, and yes,
even the pay they deserve.
Make sure that you do say all the way to the end because I'm even including a
bonus tiP
that is really going to skyrocket your success at work while cutting the
number of hours that you work each week.
If you're ready to learn my career advancement strategies,
tap that like button and let's jump into it.
The first step to being successful at work is defining what success is.
And you can forget about what everyone else tells you,
you should be doing and what they think success is.
What I'm asking you today is what is success to you?
And career success is something entirely different at different points across
your career. It could be landing a new job, getting the promotion at work,
getting a little bit of praise for the work that you've been doing,
or even just getting some bigger challenges at work.
The biggest obstacle that I see with my clients and a ton of you that I have
gotten to speak with has not been that you're not capable and that you don't
have the potential. And even that no one sees it.
It's that you just don't actually really know what you want in your career.
Skipping this step is the equivalent of trying to build the Burj Khalifa on
quicksand. It is going to fall down immediately.
This is so important I actually have an entire video series to help you figure
out what you actually want in your career and what success looks like for you.
I will link it for you to check out after this video.
This one is really crucial though,
because if you don't define what career success is to you,
you are not going to be able to create it.
And you're not going to be able to get the right
opportunities and the right people for it to actually happen. That said,
knowing what success looks like is obviously not the only step to
creating more success at work.
What I typically see most people do once they've gotten
this step done is they automatically go into action mode and they just start
working really, really hard on all of the things,
but that is the exact wrong step to take.
Instead, I want you to move into the next step to create success at work.
And that is to make an impact. If you want to succeed at work,
you have to make an impact. But not just any impact.
Because if you want them to ship you, you have to give a ship.
That's a strategic high-impact project. Let me explain.
Think of this as being two lines.
The first line is a continuum of the things that you are
exceptional at, the things that you
can uniquely and amazing at that only contribute to your team and to your
company. The second line is going to intersect it.
And this line is the things that are important to your company.
It's what your company really needs,
where those two lines actually meet is the nexus.
And that is where you are going to find your ship.
If your effort and your focus, this isn't on one of those lines,
it is not going to have a high impact.
And if it's not on either of those lines,
there's a substantial chance that no one is.
Going to notice at all.
What we know if that has ever accidentally happened to you in the comments.
I know it's happened to me and a ton of people that I've worked with in the
past. Obviously when you think about what is going into your ship,
it does require a knowledge of both the things that you're uniquely awesome at,
your UAQ, as well as what your company actually needs.
I have an entire system to help you figure
out what this is and really how this fits into your bigger career success
strategy. And by the way,
I'm deep diving into all of this in a free workshop I'm having in a couple of
weeks. I highly recommend you save your spot.
I'll leave the link in the description bar down below.
But I don't want to leave you hanging and waiting for that workshop.
I want to get you on that path to success at work in this video.
So I want you to start by answering to he questions.
What can I do uniquely contribute at work?
And what do I know is really important to my boss?
Answering those two questions is going to give you a great idea in terms of
where you should work on and your focus areas.
The great thing is when you do this correctly,
your impact is going to be on ignorable,
but it's not the full picture.
And without taking the next step to creating success at work,
it might end up being all for not at best or the glory could be snatched up
by a credit thief.
So you're going to want to make sure that you implement this one right away,
The next step to accelerate your career growth and be successful at work is to
build the right network.
You may have heard before your network is your net worth.
Because a lot of people.
Equate this to knowing everyone, but knowing everyone is not the answer.
And if you're an introvert like me, it's really exhausting. Instead,
you need to know who the players are in your network,
and you need to know who you should be building relationships
with so that you can approach it from a place of intention,
building the right relationships
and bringing value into those relationships is the most crucial thing that you
can do to build your success at work.
The biggest mistake that I see most people make is
that they approach networking and professional relationships from a very self
centered perspective. They're always focused on what's in it for them.
And I think that's why a lot of people meet a lot of resistance and quite
honestly feel a little
bit like smarmy when they think about networking within their company and even
beyond it.
The great news though,
is that networking and establishing the right relationships.
Doesn't have to be like that at all.
Approaching relationships from a place of service
and find ways that you can give value to other people.
This builds up reciprocity, karma, whatever you want to call it.
And it is going to help you build real, authentic,
but still highly effective relationships. And quite honestly,
these are probably going to be
the ones across their career success journey that bring you the most fulfillment
and the most joy,
because it isn't just about taking what you can from other people.
It truly is about giving back to others that you can help.
Plus when you have the right relationships, that's actually going to bring you
advocate amplifiers, basically defacto.
And that brings me directly into the next step to build your success at work.
And that's, it's self-promote. I know that saying that just made you cringe,
and want to click both it thumbs down as well as the exit button simultaneously.
But before you do that, I do implore you to stay.
Because self promotion doesn't mean that you need to additionally brag about
yourself at any opportunity you get, because we both know that's gross.
It doesn't mean to insert you into the double bind,
where you do talk about yourself and then everyone hates you for it.
And most importantly, it doesn't need to be inauthentic. A.
nd this is one of the things that most of my clients have the most resistance
around is that they're not comfortable boasting about all of the awesomeness
that they achieve.
It doesn't mean that you're not proud of what you've achieved.
If you don't want to go and talk about it to everyone.
It's just a matter of the fact that some of us are better at sharing credit.
And most of us are much better at breaking about other people.
So instead of being stuck in that double bind, what I encourage you to do is to
escape the double bind by exploiting it.
I did a post on LinkedIn that outlined my
four strategies to self promote without self promoting a couple of weeks ago,
I will link it,
but this is actually something that if you do want to deep dive video,
let me know because I would be absolutely excited to add that to my recording
schedule to be quite honest with you.
When you were awesome and exceptional and making dramatic impacts at work,
some of them are going to be on not noticeable, I guess,
is the best way that I can put it,
but you still need to make sure that you are advocating for yourself and
evangelizing the work that you do across the organization,
and maybe even within your industry.
So people know what you have to contribute.
And ultimately that is going to be what.
Helps you create the most success at work.
But there's one more thing that is really crucial to being successful at work.
And it's something that the high performing professionals
that I work with often struggle with,
and that is knowing the right success priorities at work. This is so important.
It is essentially the difference between spinning your wheels
at work and accelerating your career success beyond measure.
This is absolutely crucial to your success at work so important that I want you
