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 Get What You Want
Thinking beyond yourself
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
I had this really interesting conversation with a good friend recently and I wanted to share some takeaways with you today during this solo episode! We were going about the fact that she is asked to do certain things at work that she’s not happy about and I asked her, what would she like to be doing. Her answer was, ‘I don’t know’.
How often do we find ourselves and others in the same position?
So I challenged her then and I challenge you now to do this exercise, to get clarity into what you want in your life! Ask 5 people in your workspace to tell you where they see you in the near future. Tune in as I walk you through the step-by-step of doing this challenge in the best way possible and what to do with those answers.
A look at what I talk about:
[00:02:42] Thinking bigger than yourself
[00:03:10] A challenge for my friend
[00:03:28] Reasons this a great idea
[00:04:37] How to do this challenge
[00:05:45] Someone to help think outside the box
[00:07:10] Brainstorm out loud with them
[00:08:08] Sit and just listen

[00:10:14] I challenge you to do this exercise!
