How to Get What You Want
You already know what you want. The question is, do you know how to get it?
On How to Get What You Want, Susie Tomenchok shows you how to navigate the moments at work that actually determine your career. The conversations, decisions, and situations where what you say and how you show up shapes your career growth, leadership presence, and professional advancement.
Because getting what you want isn’t about being louder or more aggressive. It’s about how you think, how you position yourself, and how you handle those moments at work.
And whether you call it that or not, that’s negotiation.
Not the kind that feels pushy or uncomfortable. The everyday kind you’re already in.
When you decide to speak up in a meeting
When you ask for an opportunity
When you handle workplace conflict
When you position your ideas and advocate for your value
Each week, Susie breaks down real workplace scenarios, communication strategies, and mindset shifts so you can stop second-guessing yourself and start getting what you want in your career and your life.

How to advocate for yourself
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A few days ago I had this interview where I was asked how people advocate for themselves. I realized then that advocating for yourself is a difficult concept to grasp sometimes, that’s why I decided to explain a little bit more about my perspective on this in this episode. Join me today as I share 3 ways so you can put in motion this idea of advocating for yourself.
