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
When Was the Last Time You Checked If This Still Fits?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You take the promotion because it looks like progress. You feel chosen, relieved, maybe even flattered, and you don't stop to ask yourself if it's actually right for you until you're already in it.
That's the moment I keep coming back to. I built a career assuming someone else would tap me on the shoulder with the next opportunity, and by the time I noticed the pattern, I'd already handed the decision away.
This episode is about catching that shift before it happens again, and what it actually takes to stop waiting and start choosing.
In this episode, I'll cover:
- Recognize the difference between staying because it's easy and staying because it's right
- Ask yourself the questions most people wait for someone else to ask
- Build the kind of career capital that keeps your options open, even when you're not looking
🎯 Done feeling overlooked while you watch others move forward?
