November 9, 2011 By Giovanni Leave a Comment

Give yourself a little more credit, you control you more than you think you do. Get it? There are enough obstacles in life and especially in the workplace, you don’t need to add yourself to the list. I want you to get the attention and the success that you and I both know you deserve so here are a few things you might want to consider when it comes to your success in the workplace.

1. Stop assuming that no one is paying attention and make them pay attention – It’s up to you to make sure that you are getting credit for your accomplishments. Take the time to let your manager know what you did and how you did it so they know how much work you did to get the great results you need.

2. Stop making your career your bosses job - You are responsible for your career. Make sure that you know how the evaluation process works and do your best to make sure you come out on top. Also let your manager or boss know that you do have ambitions to move up in the company or else they will assume you are happy right where you are.

3. Pay Attention! – Their are opportunities all around you. Are you taking advantage of them or are you too focussed on your own job? Pay attention in what’s going on in the upper levels of your company. Show interest in what’s happening with the big picture and make it clear that you have every intention of playing an important role.

5 Things You Should Never Do At The Office

July 18, 2011 By Giovanni Leave a Comment

I am sure that you are a an ambitious, bright, and talented individual. We would like to think that’s all it takes to move up in the world, but, unfortunately it’s not. To keep moving up the power tree or corporate ladder you need to do more than the right things, you need to not do the wrong things. Here are 7 things that will keep you stuck where your at… if they don’t get you fired.

1. Never say or write anything that you wouldn’t want the world to hear. You are a lot safer off assuming that everything that you say or write is on record somewhere and it can and will come back to haunt you.

2. Don’t grovel. Everyone is going to make mistakes, and when that happens it’s good to apologize. However, be sure you aren’t overdoing it. The best thing to do is to take responsibility and move on.

3. Don’t try to make an example out of your boss, or any boss for that matter. Sometimes you will make a point or have an “I told you so” moment with your boss, Don’t let that go to your head and don’t rub it in. Even if you win you lose in this situation.

4. Do not complain in the office. Save all of your frustrations for the eager ear waiting for you at home, or better yet just walk it off. No one wants to hear you complain, especially if they are dealing with the same things.

5. Never over promise or over commit. It makes sense that you would want to over deliver and work hard to get yourself that promotion, but choose your battles wisely. If you are strapped for time you shouldn’t commit to a project that is going to take up even more. Your boss will be more impressed with you getting your work done than you not getting an extra project done.
