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
Situational Awareness = Your Secret Super‑Power
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Ever walk into a high-stakes meeting thinking you're ready, only to realize too late that you missed the moment? That was me, on a packed airport train, suddenly thrown into a deal conversation I had no business leading.
In this episode, I’m breaking down what situational awareness really looks like, why most people miss it, and how to stay grounded and clear-headed when the pressure is high. You’ll learn the CLAW framework I teach in workshops, how to apply it in real conversations, and the one move that will help you avoid making reactive decisions you regret later.
In this episode, I’ll cover:
- The common mistakes people make in high-stakes moments
- A simple four-part framework for staying focused and prepared
- What it sounds like to walk away clearly and confidently
