Isn't it curious that we may go through our entire career and never master anything? We get promoted before we are ready. We switch companies every two years to make more money. We focus on what we can accomplish instead of what we can learn. What if we did the opposite? Turn down the promotion. Stick with a company for 10 years. Strive to master your current role before considering a change. We may find that this different approach is actually the path we should be on. The path to mastery.

Millions of people get hired and promoted every day. And millions of people don't necessarily feel ready for the position. If that is you, hear me, YOU'RE NOT ALONE! It's not easy being new at a job or even promoted to the next level. There are expectations that come with the position and many times we sit in our insecurities of whether we are ready for it or not. But take it from me ... you absolutely are! The first step is just SHOWING UP! Show up on time. Show up with a good attitude. Show up hungry to learn. Show up humble. Show up a team player. Just show up! and then... TRUST! Trust that you are being given the job for a reason. Trust that the person that gave you this position sees something in you. Trust that you are capable of learning it. Trust that you are at the right place at the right time, Just Trust! and finally... STEP INTO IT! You never gain anything without trying. Step into it with a smile and step into it, even if you have to fake it till you make it! 😉 #keynotespeaker #confidence

Being irreplaceable doesn't get you promoted. It keeps you stuck in your current role. In order to get promoted, you should be focusing on the skills that can get you promoted. what are the skills that you think will get you promoted? comment and lets discuss

Do you know? If we want to set ourselves apart from the crowd and achieve elite status, we need to be willing to go the extra mile and do those things that most see as too uncomfortable or demanding. In my first few jobs, I did the bare minimum just to get by and collect my paycheck. I worked only the hours required and wasn't volunteering for extra projects or difficult assignments. And I remained firmly average in my role and impact. Once I got passed over for a promotion I felt I deserved, I realized I needed to kick things up a notch if I wanted to advance my career. I started taking more risks by raising my hand to lead complex presentations and oversee challenges no one else wanted to tackle. It was incredibly uncomfortable at first standing out this way! But slowly, I built my confidence through practice and began achieving results no one else had been able to move forward. Within a couple years, I had been promoted twice. While most of my colleagues kept their heads down to stay safe, I differentiated myself by leaning into growth opportunities outside my comfort zone. As I invested that extra effort, I learned so much more and expanded my skillset rapidly. If your goal is to become a top performer, the lesson here is clear - be willing to do what the average person avoids in order to build your talent and stand out. Stay hungry for challenge and continual improvement. Discomfort today will lead to new levels of excellence and impact over time. You've got this!
