3 Internal Power Moves to Build your Corporate Career

Hi there!  I’m glad you’re here with me.  I’m Sherri Thomas. There’s a lot of churn going on right now inside so many companies… re-orgs, layoffs, this revolving door of changing leaders, changing bosses - where you get a new boss every few months… all of this can really take a toll on your emotions and the exhaustion of having to build, and re-build your credibility all the time with company leaders and new managers.

What I teach are things you can do right now to help you uplevel your reputation, your influence, your self-confidence - so that you be more of a decision maker in your own career and YOU get to decide who you want to work for and the type of job role and work you WANT to be doing. I want to help you get more promotions and leadership opportunities in your corporate career.

Working the last 15 years with Fortune 100 leaders (including 8 years in HR at a Fortune 100 company as the lead branding strategist and leadership coach for VP’s, leaders, and high performers), has given me expertise into why so many professionals are able to move up the corporate career ladder so easily, while others stay stuck.

And what I’m seeing through my own career and those of my clients - is that it doesn’t matter if you’re an individual contributor, manager, or leader – it doesn’t even matter what your job title you have -  I’m seeing that the ability to build a powerful executive presence in front company leaders can significantly EXPAND or LIMIT your career growth, especially in changing environments.

So yes, getting BIG results is KING when you’re going after a promotion or big salary increase.  You HAVE to make a BIG IMPACT in your department, and that means get BIG RESULTS… but many times, that’s not enough.  Many times, you achieve these big goals and stretch goals, and then nothing really happens. The big PAY DAY doesn’t come.  So if this is YOU, and you’re feeling invisible in your corporate career, or a little bit under-valued, or under-appreciated…

I’m going to give you 3 strategies to help you rise up from your peers, and build a bigger reputation with company leaders. And these are just a handful of strategies that I give to my clients who are professionals in the corporate world.

So in this podcast I'm giving you 3 strategies you can start doing immediately to help you build a stronger reputation and get more influence and control in your corporate career...

I’ve successfully reinvented my own career four (4) times and I fully believe that life is way too short to stay stuck in a role you’ve outgrown, or in a job where you feel unappreciated and under-valued. It’s your career, so own it.  Learning how to strengthen and role model your executive presence can help you rise above your peers for more opportunities, faster promotions and a bigger, more meaningful career.
