Who do you want to be when you get to the top?
Many women feel pressure to play the political game at work. To sacrifice family time to schmooze at networking events or play golf with colleagues.
But I’m here to tell you, you can be both true to yourself and well-connected. You can rise through the ranks at your company and build political capital—without becoming someone you don’t like.
On this episode of Career Confessions, I explain why you don’t have to be someone else to have a successful career, challenging you to get clear on your core values and stand by them as you climb the corporate ladder.
I share what I do to foster connections in a way that feels good to me, describing how one-on-ones with senior leaders lead to meaningful, targeted discussions and why it’s beneficial to build relationships with people outside your group.
Listen in for insight on providing value as you build political capital and learn how to forge your path to the TOP in a way that’s authentic to you!
