Career Advancement Through Effective Self-Advocacy

We appreciate any and all feedback so feel free to send a text. Have you ever wondered if taking on extra work without a pay raise is worth it for your career? Let's explore this dilemma with a sprinkle of humor and a smattering of Southern hospitality, as Joshua shares his light-hearted adventure at an LSU football game in Arkansas. This sets the stage for our deep dive into the pressures many face in the workplace, especially in industries hit hard by the pandemic like home-building. We chat about the struggle between being a 'yes person' and knowing when it's time to push back, pondering whether the extra load leads to long-term career growth or just burnout. In our second segment, we unlock the transformative power of negotiation and self-advocacy. Discover how mastering these skills can prevent undervaluation and shape your career trajectory. With personal anecdotes, we discuss the art of balancing workload capacities and the risks of overcommitment. We break down the myth of endless productivity and challenge the age-old habits that no longer serve us. By trading less impactful tasks for meaningful ones, we aim to find a balance that maintains personal well-being while driving effectiveness. It's an episode filled with insights, reflections, and a touch of humor, all aimed at redefining career growth and responsibility.Support the showCarolyn can be found on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolyn-mcmahon-937b89158Joshua can be found on LinkedIn at: www.linkedin.com/in/joshuamcmahon15Email for feedback, questions, complaints, etc:[email protected] Journal: https://amzn.to/41p9aKE
