  • From Hidden Gem to Workplace Star: Making Your Mark in Your Organization

    From Hidden Gem to Workplace Star: Making Your Mark in Your Organization
    Sep 11 2023
    Does the Senior Leadership Know Your Name? Do you know those moments at work when you feel like blending into the wallpaper? You're this hidden gem, but no one has the map to find you. Yeah, I've been there, and trust me, so many of the fantastic people I talk to feel the same way. Whenever someone like you shares their story with me, I always think, 'Wow, if only more people knew just how awesome they are.' You’ve got all these amazing talents and ideas, but sometimes it feels like you're whispering in a crowded football stadium. Today, I’m going to dive deep into this topic. It's not just about getting noticed at work but about celebrating all the cool things that make you YOU. Remember, it's not always about the big office or the fancy title. It's about making waves, leaving your mark, and creating your unique magic. So, if you've ever felt like you’re playing small, grab a coffee or a cup of tea, and let's chat. Because you, my friend, are meant for a more expansive career and life. It is possible! How Did I Become Known? I became “known” for my focus on our customers and deep technical and system focus. This didn’t happen overnight… I spent ten years as an Enlisted Sailor, working as a systems technician Later, I became a defense acquisition expert. I had opportunities to work at organizations where I was directly responsible for the manpower, training, and sustainment of the systems. When working at an organization leading Defense Acquisition efforts, I was directly responsible for developing the modern version of the program I was a technician for in my younger days. Eventually, I had the opportunity to work at an organization that greatly expanded my knowledge, but where there was an abundance of people who understood the training and even a good amount who understood manpower and manning, but a minimal number who understood the entire spectrum of taking a new technical requirement for a capability and transforming it into a powerful system out in an operational environment. Still.. I always remembered what it was like to be a young Enlisted person or a young Naval Officer who didn’t have the network or understanding of budgets, programs, available support, and how it all came together. Some people cared about the Fleet without my expertise, and some had exquisite expertise without understanding what it was like to be a Sailor. Some people cared about the Fleet without my expertise, and some had exquisite expertise without understanding what it was like to be a Sailor. I used my combination of experiences and went ALL IN and became known for making sure our customers (the Sailors) have what they need to conduct their missions, in a MAJOR WAY. Does it Matter if You are Known at Work? For many reasons, it is essential to become "known" for something in a large organization. Here are a few of the most important ones: It can help you get ahead. When you are known for your skills and expertise, you are more likely to be promoted and given more opportunities. It can help you build relationships. When people know you and what you do, they are more likely to want to work with you. This can lead to new opportunities and collaborations. It can give you a voice. When you are known, you have a platform to share your ideas and insights. This can help you make a difference in the organization and the world. It can make you more marketable. If you are known for your skills and expertise, you will be more attractive to other organizations. This can give you more options and opportunities in your career. It can boost your confidence. When you are known for something, it can give you a sense of accomplishment and confidence. This can help you succeed in your career and in life. Of course, there are also some challenges to becoming known in a large organization. It can take time and effort to build a reputation. You may also need to overcome the challenges of being an introvert in a corporate setting. But if you are willing to put in the work, becoming known for something can be a valuable asset to your career. HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU ARE NOT KNOWN? There are a few signs that you may not be known in a large organization: People don't know your name. This is the most obvious sign. If people don't know your name, they probably know little about you or your work. You're not invited to meetings or events. If you're not invited to important meetings or events, it's a sign that people don't see you as a critical player in the organization. Your ideas are ignored. If you share your ideas and no one notices, it's a sign that people don't value your contributions. You're not considered for promotions or new opportunities. If you're not being considered for promotions or new opportunities, it's a sign that people don't see you as a high-potential employee. You feel like an outsider. If you feel like you don't belong in the organization, ...

    Breaking the Chain: Stop Negative Thinking in Its Tracks After a Big Mistake
    Aug 12 2023

    Making a mistake, even what you consider a BIG mistake, isn’t necessarily a problem until you start beating yourself up over something that’s already done and can’t be undone. Your mind is tricky, and sometimes it can get stuck in a loop, especially if you feel shame, humiliation, deep regret, sadness, embarrassment, mortification, or possibly discredited. Maybe you find yourself saying, over and over, “Why did I do that? How could I have been so stupid? I’m a complete idiot!” These feelings are powerful and probably make you want to hide in a hole and never come out. In this episode, I will help you work through these moments so you can come back stronger.
