Ep #124: How to Overcome the ‘Aggressive’ Label at Work

Do you worry about receiving feedback that you’re too aggressive at work? This is a topic that came up on a panel I was presenting on recently, and the way the women in the audience fixated on this problem was a big red flag for me. Because, how are you going to raise your hand, speak up more, share your opinions, ask directly for that promotion or pay increase, and build relationships with the executive team when you’re constantly monitoring how “aggressive” you’re being at work? Nope. Not on my watch. That’s why I’m dedicating this episode of Maximize Your Career with Stacy Mayer to showing you a different path. One where you lean into the beautiful, powerful POSITIVE feedback you are already receiving right now, and one where you don’t let your fear of being seen as aggressive completely hijack your career. Let’s dive in.

Ep #123: How Bad Feedback is Killing Your Career

You’re going to get a lot of feedback over the course of your career, about all kinds of things, and from all kinds of people. And the ability to solicit golden nuggets of feedback – while avoiding the types of feedback that are simply distractions or, worse, career landmines – is going to become increasingly important as you make your way to the top of your organization. So in this episode of Maximize Your Career with Stacy Mayer, I’m going to give you some super practical shifts you need to make in order to receive BETTER feedback. Adn by better, I'm not talking about sunshine and roses feedback, right? I’m talking about real, honest feedback that you can use to transform your career and get you the promotion you want.

Ep #121: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at My Executive Reboot Process

I’m always looking for ways to get better and better results for my Executive Ahead of Time students. Recently, I noticed that in addition to the trainings and modules inside of Executive Ahead of Time, there were a lot of really cool things happening on our weekly coaching calls, too. We were taking the teachings from my program and diving even deeper. And the strategies we were using on these deep dives hadn’t been captured into a teachable process before. This was my lightbulb moment. I have taken these deep strategies and insights and turned them into a 36-day Executive Reboot course – and starting April 21st I am making it available to everyone inside of Executive Ahead of Time (including you when you join). So in this episode of Maximize Your Career with Stacy Mayer, I am giving you a behind-the-scenes look at this process and breaking down the exact skills you’ll have once you complete it.

Ep #120: How Being ‘Irreplaceable’ is Sabotaging Your Career

The fact that you’re irreplaceable in your role is ruining your chances of getting promoted. Look at it this way: When you are irreplaceable, it’s easier for your organization to hire someone NEW to fill the role you want than it is to promote you and find a replacement (or, let’s be real, three replacements) to take over the work you are doing right now. So what do you do instead? You start grooming your successor starting now AND you communicate this to the executive team so they know you have a plan. In this episode of Maximize Your Carer with Stacy Mayer, I’ll show you how to do both.

Ep #119: 3 Promotion Strategies Your Boss Will NEVER Tell You

Right now, your boss is probably giving you advice on how to manage your team better, hit your deliverables, and manage your time...but these aren’t the skills the leadership team is looking for when deciding whether or not to promote you to the executive suite. But that totally-against-the-grain work I love to do? That kind of advice sets you up to reach and flourish at the executive level (while still nailing the role you have now). So that’s why I’m dedicating this episode of Maximize Your Career with Stacy Mayer to laying out three promotion strategies that your boss is NEVER going to tell you. Tune in now to discover what you need to start doing differently if you really want to get yourself into those higher level executive positions.

Ep #116: Why Titles Matter (And ALSO Why Titles Don't Matter At All)

Titles DO matter when it comes to taking charge of your own career. But…they also DON’T matter, too. Because, yes, you don’t need a higher title to start having the impact you want to be making right now. But on the flipside… Your title can open doors for you. It can help you have a seat and a voice at the table, so you can be the change you want to see in your organization. And it can provide you with the bonuses and pay raises that you 100% deserve. So in this episode of Maximize Your Career with Stacy Mayer, I’m going to show you the Middle Way between titles being the ‘be-all and end-all’ of your career, and titles not being important at all. And finding this balance is going to help you reach your next level of leadership and have so much more success once you get there.

Ep #115: How to Get Exactly What You Want at Your Performance Review

What if, instead of walking into your performance review filled with dread or feeling pretty ‘meh’ about the process…you could instead walk in feeling confident because you know exactly what you’re going to get? No guessing. No doubts.  You’ve already planted the seeds of your next promotion, you’ve nurtured them, and now it’s time to collect your harvest (and it’s going to be so good). This is exactly what’s happening with my Executive Ahead of Time students right now. They’re receiving “exceeds expectations” on their performance reviews and are coming out with higher salaries, amazing titles, big bonuses, AND a seat at the table. In this episode of Maximize Your Career with Stacy Mayer, I’ll be sharing exactly what YOU need to do to never be surprised at your performance review again.
