4: SHOWing UP for Your Career
Show Notes Chapter Markers

You bring specific energy, talents, and skills to your job. While others may possess the same technical skills as you, there is a way you do your job that no one else can do. Yes, you are replaceable. But until that time comes, how you do your job is a big part of how you SHOW UP. 

 

SHOWing UP is more than just physically being in the room. It’s how you connect, engage, inspire, and motivate others to do their work. It’s about the quality of your work and the importance of your client relationships. As a former hiring manager, I used to shutter when I heard a candidate say they were a great team player. I think I know what you mean, but let’s be clear about precisely what you mean by being a great team player. The same is true for how we SHOW UP. This episode is going to help norm the conversation.

 

In this episode, I’m sharing six specific strategies to help you SHOW UP more energetically and impactfully in your career. These strategies will help you define your daily interactions and chart a path to achieving your career goals. I’ll share a defining and influential moment in my life that taught me what it meant for me to SHOW UP and what I did after that. And I’ll highlight one specific strategy designed to help you shift your mindset from being a generalist to a specialist.
