How do hard hardworking employees move forward
|
Hi Reader Have you ever looked around your workplace and wondered... "How did they get promoted before me?" They're not necessarily smarter. They're not always more experienced. And they don't always work harder. So what are they doing differently? After coaching professionals for years and spending nearly two decades in the corporate world myself, I've noticed a pattern. The people who consistently move ahead understand one thing that most hardworking employees completely overlook. Once you see it, you'll never look at career growth the same way again. I made a short video explaining exactly what that missing piece is. As you watch, ask yourself this question: "Am I being recognized for my expertise... or am I assuming my work speaks for itself?" I'd love to know what you think. After watching the video, simply hit Reply and answer this question: What has been the biggest obstacle to your career growth? To your growth, P.S. If you know someone who's incredibly talented but struggles to get the recognition they deserve, forward this email to them. It might change how they approach their career.

How to connect with the audience. Then I stopped. Because my wife had already stepped in. She was the one coaching him. And honestly, she did...
Hi Reader, Hope you are off to a great start this week. If you remember (if you had read!) in my last email, I promised I'd share the shift that helped me bridge the gap between understanding something and explaining it clearly. It's a very simple shift and here it is... I stopped preparing for myself. And started preparing for my audience. At first, that sounds like the same thing. It isn't. When most of us prepare, we ask questions like: Do I know this well enough? What if they ask me a...
Hi Reader, Yesterday, I promised I'd tell you what Jerry meant when he looked at me after that speech contest and said, "Rama... you're not intelligible." At the time, I honestly thought he was talking about my speaking. Maybe my pronunciation. Maybe my delivery. For a moment, I even wondered if he meant I wasn't intelligent! (Thankfully, that's a different story.) I couldn't have been more wrong. It took me almost fourteen years to understand what he was really trying to tell me. And when I...
