How to Get Ahead: Why Self Promotion is Not Narcissistic

10/08/24 • 19 min

The idea of Coursera is to democratize education. That means breaking down the barriers to learning but also breaking down barriers to career success. That's why Still at Work exists!

Felicia Ann Rose Enuha also known as the Trillest MBA joins us as our guest today. Felicia is here to push us to learn how to self promote! Felicia is a fellow podcaster and she's also a career consultant. Her rallying cry is that it is ok to have a strategy or a tactic to get ahead at work.

Amanda Clark, CEO of WellBiz Brands and Coursera Board member, is here to help us out with this episode as well.

Question: "Do you have suggestions for how Coursera can better support employment and career advancement?"

While today's question asks specifically about Coursera I want to talk about what Black learners need to do to educate themselves and make themselves fantastic candidates for high paying jobs.

What Does my Future Workplace Look Like?

We all wish we had a crystal ball that can tell the future.

Today’s guest doesn’t have a crystal ball, but she does have loads of data and trends about the future of work.

Dr. Kelly Monahan is a Managing Director at Upwork's Research Institute. Today, she'll tell us what those trends show and how to evaluate them for ourselves.

Question: "There's so much uncertainty in the world right now and my job is the one place where I want to feel safe and prepared. I can't get advice from my parents because the working world has already changed so much. What's coming next at work and am I alone in feeling like my relationship with work is changing?"

Talk About Mental Health Right Now

What brings you joy? That’s where we start today’s conversation about mental health.

Tramaine El-Amin is joining us from the National Council for Mental Well-Being. She's vice president for a program called Mental Health First Aid. The course teaches you where to start with conversations about mental health as well as where to go and where not to go.

This conversation includes a mnemonic for how to be there for our co-workers, discussion of how gen z is getting mental health attitudes right, and a call to be more transparent about what you’re doing to take care of yourself.

It’s not always easy to bring up this topic at work so today's question comes from me:

“How should we be talking about mental health? From entry level employee to executive, what training do we need and what conversations should we be having?”
