Hi, I'm Adriana Girdler, president of CornerStone Dynamics and a productivity
expert and in this video I'm gonna give you 6 tips on how to get noticed at work
for that big promotion that you want. Be sure to stay tuned at the end of this
video when I'm going to answer that very tricky question as to when is it the
right time to ask for that promotion at work. I used these strategies, this formula
on myself when I used to work for organizations before I became an
entrepreneur, I promise you they work like a charm. Know your motivation. Why are
you asking and wanting a promotion? Is it for ambition, opportunity, money, are you
just sick of what you're doing? Really getting clear with knowing where your
heart is coming from as to why you want this promotion is going to be key
because it's gonna allow you to create the story you need in order to talk to
your manager about it. Do some digging. If you're hoping for a position that
someone is leaving then you know what? Talk to them, get some information about
the job like what were the things I loved about it? What were some of the
challenges? What's the scope of what they're doing? This is gonna allow for
you to have a better understanding and prepare accordingly. Aim high, sometimes
you have to present your request higher up than your boss. I remember when I
actually had to do that when I worked for an organization way back when I
actually had to go to our global counterpart and ask for some permission
to do some courses and as a result it actually really helped me with my
company today but I had to go above my boss because there was no way my
boss was gonna allow me to do it and that's the interesting thing, sometimes
you have to go up a little bit higher than your boss because you may not have
a great relationship with your boss and you don't want to be stagnant because
you don't have that great relationship, as well as, your boss may just not know
of some other opportunities so develop those relationships with those higher up
and it's going to help you. Now, in order to do that, check out
my networking video because it teaches some techniques on exactly how to
develop those relationships. Do more. Whenever you have the ability to take on
more responsibility that shows that you are right for the position, do it. This is
going to show your boss that you're capable. Not only that, you may want to
even reach out to the person who you know is potentially leaving and that you
want that job and ask them if you can help them. You would be then the perfect
fit just to slide in once they leave. Comment below, I would love to hear what
your primary goal is for your career! Build and present your business case. The
first thing you need to do is you need to sit down with your boss and let them
know that you're interested in your promotion. You cannot assume just because
you're working hard and you're doing a great job that people know that you even
want that promotion. Once you do that, make sure through all the digging you
did, you have a really good business case. Explain why you're the right fit, explain
the benefits to the company, explain how this is really gonna work for the
strategy overall. This is the selling that you're going to do to ensure that
you get this promotion but part of it is building that business case and ensuring
that you speak to your boss, letting them know that you're even open to the idea.
Time is right. Okay, this is what we've been waiting for. When is it the right
time to ask for promotion? Well, let me tell you, I wish I had a crystal ball
because then I could tell you perfectly when the right time is. There is really
no right or wrong time but there's some really good guidelines that I can give
you, so think about it, when things are going well for your organization, you had
a great quarter, things are really busy, there's a need for additional resources,
anything that provides a positive light is a great time to ask for a promotion. The
others flip side of that is, think of the bad times to ask for a promotion. Things
aren't going well, there's some layoffs going on, you probably don't want to be
knocking on your boss's door saying hey, I know you just laid off ten people but
can I have that promotion? So a little bit of common sense here but if you
start seeing cyclically what's happening in your organization you can plan for that
promotion. If you're aiming for a promotion in the near future comment below, PROMOTE
ME but just remember not to say it like that to your boss! Now that you know how
to land that new promotion that you really want
