How to Take Career Conversations from Awkward to Awesome

In this episode I show you how to tackle those difficult work conversations into a positive experience with some top tips including:

Be clear about what you want.
Be clear about your responsibilities.
Be prepared.

I hope from following this podcast that you learn to see the beauty in finding your voice and asking for what you want.

Did you know that June is Effective Communication

Did you know that June is Effective Communication Month? Today's #saythisnotthat topic is about how to be an effective communicator.
Don't say this: I don't have to give context, people will know what I mean.
Say this: If I want to ensure my topic is understood, giving context is crucial to good communication.
Don't say this: Everyone understands my industry acronyms.
Say this: I won't assume that everyone knows every industry acronym.
Don't say this: I know I have a difficult conversation today, I'm just going to wing it.

There’s no such thing as perfect. In this week

There’s no such thing as perfect.
In this week’s podcast I talk about how striving for perfection sets you up for failure. Failure is in your own mind because the outside world will likely never know you weren’t perfect. I talk about how perfectionism leads to procrastination and how nobody is perfect.
I’d love to know if you push forward even if you think something isn’t “perfect”?

#ThisNotThat Getting out of vour comfort zone ca

#ThisNotThat
Getting out of vour comfort zone can get you out of a rut. Why not just try something new and see if that pushes you forward.
Don't say this: You can't teach an old dog new tricks.
Say this: There is no reason I can't learn something new.
Don't say this: What if I try it and don't like it?
Say this: If I try it and don't like it I don't have to stick with it BUT at least I stepped out of my comfort zone.
Don't say this: I'm afraid to try something new.
Say this: I've had a lot of "firsts."
Some worked, some didn't but I gave it a shot.
When is the last time you tried something new?
