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
Starting Over With Josh and Jennifer After They Left Corporate
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This is part two of my conversation with Josh and Jennifer, two former executives who left corporate leadership to build their own businesses. If you haven't heard part one, start there, we spent that episode looking back at their years running big, complex organizations.
In this episode, we look at what it felt like to walk away and build something of their own. Josh talks about the identity he didn't realize was wrapped up in the company he left. Jennifer walks through the slow build toward her own business, and what changed once she got clear on what to say yes and no to. We also talk about what surprised them most about themselves once the title and the office were gone.
In this episode, I'll cover:
- Hear what it took to separate their identity from the company they built their career around
- Learn what actually created stability once the paycheck and structure were gone
- Discover what surprised them most about who they became once they stopped performing for someone else
