125: Self Advocacy Made Easy with Liz St. Jean

Your work is excellent, but it may not be enough to help you get your next promotion or be recognized by your boss. Advocating for yourself and your career trajectory is essential for mid-career professionals. 

 

Liz St. Jean helps sensitive professionals enhance their leadership skills and feel confident to set themselves on the path to Director level positions – and thrive in the position when they get there. 

 

In this episode, Liz and John discuss various career triggers for high performers and share how to deal with a missed professional opportunity. Plus, they’ll talk about what it means to be over-mentored and under-advocated, how to address imposter messages and how you can be a better self-advocate.
