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 Handle Pressure Like a Pro
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Pressure is everywhere right now, and when it doesn’t let up, even small things start to feel high stakes. From deadlines to team conversations, everything carries more weight. And the longer we sit in that pressure, the harder it becomes to move forward.
In this episode, I’m talking about how to navigate leadership and decision-making when you feel like you’re carrying too much. I share a story of one client’s real-time negotiation with a shifting, high-stakes project, and walk you through three ways to move through pressure more clearly and intentionally. You can’t always control what’s happening around you, but you can build the tools to lead through it.
In This Episode, I’ll Cover:
- Why pressure turns even low-stakes moments into high-stakes ones
- What to do when emotional weight keeps you from seeing options
- How to move through discomfort instead of waiting for it to pass
