Are you putting your best self forward virtually? Without face-to-face personal connection, are you concerned that your leadership presence isn’t coming through?
Although leadership and executive presence is a big topic, optimizing how you come across virtually is easy! Here’s a checklist-style discussion of tips you can implement right away, so grab a pen and paper – because this episode is for you.
In this episode of The Career Rx we’ll discuss:
How to dial up your leadership presence in virtual settings
Verbal and nonverbal ways to maximize effectiveness of your messaging
Simple tweaks that have a major impact on how others see (and hear) you virtually
Today we’re going to be talking about putting your best self forward virtually. Inspired by a note that I received from one of my students who is currently taking my course, The Speaking Rx. They asked, “I’m just so much better in person, it’s hard to connect and make a good impression virtually. How do I do that in an all-Zoom environment? Do you have any tips?”
This episode highlights my pro-tips for how you can actually gain ground and continue to grow and develop your executive presence, your executive reputation, and your leader reputation virtually. I give a variety of actions and resources to further your understanding of communicating in a more digital world. By the end of this episode, you will have a checklist of things to do immediately that will improve your online authority.
Do you struggle to advocate or negotiate for yourself (but aren’t at all afraid to speak up for someone else)? Are you afraid of being perceived as overconfident, greedy, or pushy?
If you’re worrying too much about how others might view you, or if you have trouble finding the mindset or words to advocate for yourself, this episode is for you.
In this episode of The Career Rx we’ll discuss:
• Styles of negotiation, and a critical mindset shift
• How self advocacy manifests in professional opportunities (or lack thereof) – it’s not just money!
• “Healthy entitlement” – what it means, and how you can use it
Today we’re going to be talking about everyday negotiation situations. Inspired by a question asked at a virtual conference I attended. Selena Rezvani was the speaker, and she asked us: “What is the number one word that comes to mind, for you, when you think of advocating for yourself?” The responses (and her follow-up) were too good to not share.
This episode explores why professional women think the way we do about how we show up and ask professionally. After this episode, you’ll think of self advocacy, negotiation, and healthy entitlement in an entirely new way.
Do you want to move up within your company or organization? Do you fear your career development is stagnant? Are your goals aligned with your boss’ goals, or do they differ? These are common midcareer concerns.
If you have big growth goals but zero explicit plans to make them happen, today’s your day to turn it around. Most people dread their annual reviews because they don’t know what to discuss – or how to discuss – what they really should be addressing with their boss. In fact, many people don’t even realize that they can use the opportunity to take some control. Sounds appealing? This episode is for you.
In this episode of The Career Rx we’ll discuss:
• Four things you should discuss with your boss to help you advance thoughtfully
• Where to find additional (and deliberate!) growth opportunities
• How to approach “succession planning” – not just for royalty!
Today we’re going to be talking about your annual review and how to actually leverage this time for your own benefit (instead of sweating the evaluation and feedback that makes so many people really nervous). This topic came directly from the listener question, as usual. Mitch writes, “Thank you so much for Episode 29 about how to get the best results using recruiters [we were talking about nonclinical career transitions, among other things]. But what about if you want to move up within your (current) company or organization?” So, in this episode we’re going to cover some strategies to plot your career growth in a deliberate way that accelerates your advancement, whether that’s within your own organization or a new one.
Listen in to hear four topics you should discuss with your boss during your annual (quarterly, or monthly) review. I’m sharing how to navigate having a transparent discussion about compensation, long-term goals, and gaining a deeper understanding of your company’s succession plans (or lack thereof).
