On this week episode of Career Espresso, which is also the Season 3 finale, I'm discussing the topic of confidence, which is a common challenge for many of the female leaders I support.

The path to getting more done is to reduce the number of things you are doing in the first place.

On this week's episode of Career Espresso, I'm looking at why a not to do list has way more power than an endless list of tasks to complete when it comes to get the stuff that really counts done.

I'll provide a step-by-step guide on how to create a 'not to do' list and share my own examples along with some tips if you are struggling to develop your ability to say no to yet more tasks.

Sometimes it doesn't seem to matter how much we've already achieved in the moment, all of our accomplishments are so easily forgotten.

It's hardly surprising when we rush from one career accomplishment to another, barely taking time to register what we did and the results that all your hard work created. Before we know it, the time comes for the next project or workplace goal, and it can feel almost inconvenient to stop and celebrate or acknowledge your wins.

On this week's episode of Career Espresso, I'm discussing why writing down your accomplishments in real time can make a significant difference to your career development and improve your confidence and outlook at work.

I'll be looking at how you can get started, find a system that works for you and most importantly one that you will keep coming back to!

On this week's episode of Career Espresso, I'm talking about why a mid year career is essential for taking charge of your development as we find ourselves in the second half of 2024.

A mid year review doesn't only give managers a formal opportunity to check in with their team & their employees. Your mid-year review is also the time for you to talk about everything that you've been doing, highlight your accomplishments and make sure, most importantly, you feel heard and valued at work.

I'll look at the benefits of doing a mid-year review in your career and how you can take a DIY approach if you're still waiting for your boss to book yours in. There's no standalone career coaching question for this week as I'll be giving you lots of questions to reflect on as you go through the review process!

On this week's episode of Career Espresso, I'm talking about why hard work alone isn't always enough to get you noticed in your career.

Advancing in your career doesn't only depend on how well you perform. Career development tends to be presented as a rational process where you acquire the appropriate skills, knowledge and experience to boost your chances of success.

What about self-promotion? We know it's important, so why don't we do it more?

It's not always an easy skill to master, but it's a powerful tool that you can't afford to overlook if you want to take control of your career.

I'll share 5 ways to get started with self-promotion in a way that makes you stand out for all the right reasons.
