About this episode

Jac and Ral discuss the importance of self-advocacy in the workplace and how to effectively highlight one's contributions to gain recognition and advance in one's career.

Hoping your hard work will be noticed, appreciated and rewarded? Unlikely to happen. In this episode Jac & Ral break down one of the biggest myths in your career - the belief that great work speaks for itself. If you want to step into your next promotion, lead with authority, or simply get the recognition you deserve, you have to become your own best advocate. We share practical ways to intentionally highlight your successes and contributions to managers and leadership with authenticity. How to actively share project outcomes, speak up in critical meetings, and network with intent. So stop waiting for someone else to notice. It’s time to find your voice, take control of your narrative, and make sure your impact is felt. ---- Your support helps keep this show going — join us on Patreon. https://tinyurl.com/jacandralpatreon New Episode Every Monday Follow the show https://www.instagram.com/keepingitrealwithjacandral/ https://open.spotify.com/show/5yIs5ncJGvJyXhI55Js0if?si=aCNOdB68QnOGnT0vCTPcPg Follow Jac https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacphillips/https://www.instagram.com/jac.phillips.coaching/ Follow Ral…
