Every day I talk to people who want to move their careers forward. Some of them are clients and some want to be. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
After 20 years in this work, I can often see very clearly who will be successful in their career progression, and I can see who will be most benefitted by working with me. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Sometimes it’s a woman who gets in her own way and sabotages her success. ​​​​​​​​
Sometimes it’s someone who doesn’t know how to play the secret game (I call it “The In-Between the Lines Game”) that gets people promoted. ​​​​​​​​
Sometimes it’s a guy who thinks all he has to do to get promoted is work hard and do his job really well. ​​​​​​​​
Sometimes it’s an individual who lacks confidence and doesn’t know how to fake it. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Sometimes, I find someone so deeply rooted in the stories they tell themselves that they can’t see that there are other versions of those stories that are more empowering and more true. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
There are things that each of these folks can do to benefit their career – immediately. But they often don’t know what those things are or they’re unwilling to do them. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
What do you think could benefit your career? What’s holding you back from doing that thing? Have you sought out guidance and help? ​​​​​​​​
