I’m starting to get noticed for my work by executives. I’m want to create a 5 year plan to double my salary and/get to executive level. Any tips? I’m kind of quiet and introverted but I have an in demand skill set and I want to make the most of it.

My top tip - find a manager who cares about you and wants to see you succeed. Doors will open for you that will stay closed with a manager you don’t have a strong connection with.

My second tip - find ways to make yourself incredibly helpful to your company and especially your boss. Take initiative, bring new ideas and new work products, chase opportunities to produce value from your models.

With both of these, you’ll be unstoppable!

Being quiet can be an asset. Because when you speak, it carries more weight.

One of the best leaders I met was a true introvert. But he made a point to meet people, network and get out of the office.

If you are in the United States, toast masters might be a good group to join to build up your confidence in speaking and networking.

I do okay, but definitely have to take on more litigation than I prefer. I was thinking estate planning might be a good addition to the mix.
