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
Live in Your Strengths Everyday with Dana Williams
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You’ve hit your goals, earned the title, maybe even built a strong team. But it still doesn’t quite feel like you. Let’s talk about why that happens and what to do about it.
I sat down with my friend Dana Williams to talk about what it really means to live and lead authentically. Dana spent 25 years as a marketing leader at Southwest Airlines before starting her own business as a Gallup-certified strengths coach and launching the Strengths Journal. She’s all about helping leaders find the through-line between their lived experiences, their values, and how they want to show up in the world. This is an episode that will leave you thinking deeply and probably journaling.
In This Episode:
- How your childhood coping strategies may be shaping your leadership today
- What “personal brand” really means in the context of leadership
- The one journaling practice Dana recommends for everyone
- Why values should be the filter for every decision you make
- How to break old identity patterns and create the future you actually want
- Why confident leadership starts with knowing what makes you unique
