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.

Why Clarity Beats “Put Me In, Coach” with Seyka Mejeur
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You know that temptation to say “I’ll do anything” when you’re ready for something new? My guest today, Seyka Mejeur, is here to challenge that thinking. As the CEO of an executive search firm placing technical leaders in space and climate, Seyka spends her days helping founders and execs clarify what they actually want so they can make better decisions, faster.
We talked about how lack of clarity gets in your way more than you realize, why being “great at a lot of things” isn’t enough, and how to think like a decision-maker at the highest level. This episode is a wake-up call to stop waiting for someone else to figure it out for you and start showing up with a clear, compelling story.
In this episode, I’ll cover:
- How to create clarity in your career (even if it’s still evolving)
- Why vagueness is exhausting for you and everyone around you
- The question that will shift how you approach every career conversation
