Hello Friend,
If you are talented, skilled & hard working but you aren't growing in your career these 4 tips might be of help 👇
1- Speak up before the opportunity arises.
Eg- Sometimes a colleague gets promoted, or a new hire comes in for a job you never even knew existed—a job you would have applied for if you'd known about it.
Action 👇
> Let your boss know the paths you're interested in. > Set your future goals, talk about what you want to do, and ask for assignments to projects that will help you achieve this.
2- Speak up when the opportunity arises.
Eg- Your manager may make an assumption that you won’t be comfortable traveling a lot because you have a little kid at home.
👉Decisions are based not just on merits but on assumptions too.
Action 👇
> Keep in mind that you probably have skills and interests that your boss knows nothing about. > If you don’t speak up or tell her about your interest areas she may pass you up for an employee who did speak up.
3- Invest in your self-development.
Eg- You shared an idea with your boss but someone else presented it to the management & got the promotion just because you don’t have good presentation or public speaking skills.
Action👇
> Find out what training you need, and who can mentor you on that & pursue it. > Nobody will ask you to get a certificate or learn a skill. You are expected to be a learner & a performer.
4- Take Responsibility
✔️ Your boss is focused on her own career and hitting her performance goals.
✔️ Your HR department is focused on legal compliance and filling the top spots.
So, who will pay attention to your growth?
👉 YOU
Action 👇
> Don't ever sit back and wait for someone else to notice that you'd do a great job in a higher-level position.
> Volunteer for challenges. > Build relationships outside of your direct line of reporting. > Become more likable & credible at the workplace.
👉 For every new & bigger role you are expected to know more, do more & be more.
✔️ You are a business of one. You are a Brand.
✔️ Selling yourself effectively & wisely is your responsibility.
If things aren't moving your way, it's time you Rebrand Yourself.
