It's not enough to do great work. You have to make sure people can see it! Make sure to share what you're working on -- and why it matters -- so the higher-ups can see the value you're creating. 📽👉🏻 buff.ly/p3PRubf

It sucks to be on the receiving end of disparaging comments from your colleagues. Learning how to combat the sh*tty comments is, unfortunately, a pretty crucial career competency. 👀 Darrell Farrow's Video, Stop Sh*tty Comments From Undermining You buff.ly/IUyZCmE

Ever heard the wrong number come out of your mouth in the middle of a #negotiation? ARG! Don't worry -- it happens to the best of us. I tell all of my clients that they'll kick themselves over AT LEAST one thing they do in the negotiation -- & it won't be a deal breaker. 📽👉🏻 buff.ly/MqX86eF

You don't need to depend on anyone else to sing your praises. Whip out your pom poms & megaphone and acknowledge the great things you're doing...or you know, write it in an email or Slack message like a normal person 😁 📽👉🏻 buff.ly/vOsNoAK

Progression lag is when your title & pay lag behind your skills & expertise.
It's a hidden form of workplace discrimination that is too common. You're technically being paid "equally" for your level -- but the problem is your level is lower than it should be! 📽👉🏻 buff.ly/qZd7w3X

When you approach your promotion conversations from the mindset of "Can I?", you put all the control into your boss's (or your company's) hands. If you want to be able to find creative ways to get to a yes, you've got to come at it from a "How Can I?" mindset 📽👉🏻 buff.ly/wiPe3ap

Worried people will feel jealous if they see your skills and talents? What if you approached sharing your talents as if people would be inspired to reach new heights instead? 💡

Lots of us pre-lower our initial salary ask in the hopes of getting a yes right away. Ack! Don't do their job for them! Make THEM tell you your ask is too high -- they just might surprise you and agree to the ask you thought was too high! 📽👉🏻 buff.ly/ltsMhGo
