You’re Always Creating: People are Partners, Not Obstacles

11/29/21 • 14 min

Getting to management can feel pretty cutthroat for a lot of people. It's a race and only one person can win the ONE open management position.
Your hopes are high. You really want that job. And so do other people.
So what do you do?
The person who gets the job will learn the mindset shift that we discuss here.
You're always creating relationships and those relationships will help you. The people who want that management job are NOT your obstacles; they're your partners.
Make friends. Build partnerships. You're always creating relationships every single time you interact: partners or obstacles.

Struggling with a micromanaging boss? You're not alone.
Join me, Catherine Van Der Laan, as we tackle the pressing issue of staying afloat and excelling in your career despite an overbearing supervisor.
Through the story of Linda, a financial analyst hampered by her manager's tight reins, we delve into the art of being 'excellent out loud' and strategically building a network of allies to keep your achievements in the spotlight.
This conversation is about equipping you with the tools to find projects that beam your potential across the company and securing your growth and visibility, irrespective of who's calling the shots.
It's a jungle out there, but seizing the right opportunities can be your path to career evolution.
If you're eyeing a management role, you'll appreciate our discussion on a special development group and the significance of connecting within your company for those career-boosting projects.

Find Your Own Replacement

Send us a text

The most successful career climbers have a sneaky little secret: they don't leave their positions unfilled.
You heard that right.
Before getting to the next step in their career, they find their own replacements.
Ambitious future- or current-managers know that the best way to their next promotion is not JUST to PROVE they have the skills for their next move, but to backfill their position ahead of time, so there's no possible reason their boss should try to keep them.
I've done it over and over. And over. And over.
You can find your own replacement, too.
This podcast will walk you through how.
