Ask chatgpt to translate into corporate speak
Force routine check ins. Build a deck. Set your own expectations and communicate them. Hold leadership accountable. Show how you’re keeping the larger wheel greased while navigating through the icebergs.
Can’t believe I forgot that. If you can only do one thing to advocate for yourself
MAN 👏 AGE 👏 UP
If you can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.
Kind of fuck with the double metaphor, only cos it makes no sense but also does.

Deliver more than you ask for. Make your boss look good first. Then go in with the career goals.

Been working on this too, and feel like I’ve made some headway so here’s my approach:
1. Be more vocal, but do so selectively. Speaking up is obviously part of it but you can’t say everything with a megaphone. Hitting the right moments makes all the difference
2. Get on a heater first or in parallel to the beginning of your advocacy. Being in good standing gets you a soapbox you can speak up from. Nobody will listen to a problem’s problem
3. Come correct. Being honest and direct in a positive manner sets the tone. But you need to bring the bloody glove, indisputable evidence in addition to the passion. It’s like getting hired somewhere, you’re chosen based on proof or potential, so try and show that you have both.
Good luck!
