Because let's be honest, influence isn't about being the loudest voice in the room. It's about being strategic, memorable, and indispensable. Welcome to a special episode of Young Improfiting, sponsored by Masterclass. Today, we're breaking down how to build influence at work from every angle. We'll talk about how to find your role, communicate with confidence, increase your likability, ask for meaningful feedback, strengthen your relationships, promote yourself, and so much more.
You'll hear powerful insights from top experts like Chris Voss, Kim Scott, Patrick Lencioni, Tori Dunlap, and Ken Coleman. By the way, Chris Voss and Kim Scott also have classes on Masterclass that you can check out. All right, yeah, fam, the climb starts now, so let's get it. If you want to grow fast, get noticed, and become indispensable at work, it starts on day one. And it's not just about what you believe. It's about what you do. Whether you're in sales, operations, or middle management, the most influential employees treat their jobs like a business. The ones who act like business owners, who find ways to grow revenue, reduce friction, and solve problems stand out fast. Derek Kinney, a financial educator and the host of the Good Money podcast, gave me some great pointers on how you can become the go-to person that your company can't live without.
I want to make sure that you are the person to stand out where there's opportunities. When there's a challenge that comes up, they call on you as the go-to person. And it's all about a mentality that I think you want to lay the moment you get to the office and say, look, I want to be here long term. I want to think like an entrepreneur. How can I help you grow this business? And I will tell you, if an employee says that to me, that's gold. That is absolute gold because you stand out and we know that that person wants to add more value and they're likely going to be making more money as well.
And not to mention, if you work for a small startup, you're setting up yourself to eventually get equity in that company. I mean, I'm looking at my two top employees and they're getting equity in my company because they helped me grow the business. And when you act like an entrepreneur, even when you're an employee, especially in a startup environment, you open yourself up to those types of opportunities.
That's exactly right. And I think right now, employees have a very unique opportunity. So they can choose to stay mentally on this path of, look, I'm just an employee. I show up at the office. I do my work and I leave. And you're probably going to get paid exactly what you're getting paid right now, maybe 3% more this year. Or you can say, you know what? I'm going to go out on faith. I'm going to say, take what Hall and Derek talked about. And I'm going to apply these principles and let's just test it. There's literally no risk to you to put a list together of here's ways I have found to help grow this business or this part of the company. Your odds are going to walk out of that meeting with either an idea for three months from now.
