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
Seeding your own opportunities
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Let's talk about how important it is to be clear about what we want and where we’re going in business (and life for that matter!). When you know those things you feel confident enough to take on new challenges and opportunities.
Today I’m going to share one experience from earlier in my career that made me realize that opportunities belong to those who take advantage of them. It doesn't matter if you don't feel ready yet, go for it and figure it out later. Start being curious about what's happening around you, and don't forget to advocate for yourself.
A look at what I talked about:
[00:01:24] Being clear about where you’re going.
[00:02:45] Look at what others are getting and lead with curiosity.
[00:03:06] Remembering experiences in my career.
[00:04:40] Opportunities are gone if we don't take action.
[00:05:10] Change being jealous for being curious.
[00:06:24] Look around for opportunities.
[00:07:01] Ask your peers how they found their opportunities.
[00:07:40] Some advice to take away.
[00:08:20] Have an abundance mindset.
[00:09:00] Always say ‘yes’ and don’t assume ‘no’.
