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
3 keys to success
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In today's episode I’ll be sharing 3 essential keys to success. You must first start with knowing how to signal your value by asking for things you deserve, moving to assuming the role you want before you get it, and saying yes to opportunities even if you don’t feel ready yet!
Tune in and listen to the lessons I’ve learned from my peer "Dan", and I have to say, he has taught me a lot! I want to share with you one of the most important things I learned from him, which is asking for want you want or need and avoiding the path of least resistance. It is time to change things and start advocating for yourself, and I’m going to show you exactly how!
A look at what I talk about:
[00:01:13] My favorite character: Dan.
[00:03:24] The one thing Dan taught me.
[00:03:55] Becoming the path of least resistance.
[00:04:39] Asking for things that make you uneasy.
[00:05:45] How to signal your value.
[00:06:21] Notice what people around you are getting.
[00:07:30] Ask for more than what you want or ask more often.
[00:08:57] Assume the role that you want.
[00:10:23] Say yes, and then figure it out!
[00:11:56] Challenge yourself to do things differently.
