4. ‣ Embrace Technology: Commit to learning
the platforms that your company is using.
You don’t have to be an expert but knowing

conference technology to sharing
information will help you communicate
effectively across teams.
‣ Leverage yourself internally: Don’t stay
in a silo expand across departments and
become knowledgeable in multiple areas
within your organization.

5. ‣ Time to learn Social Media: Your profile
on LinkedIn, Twitter and other social
platforms matters. Take an online course,
watch YouTube tutorials to stay in touch
with latest trends
‣ Network Daily: Spend 5-10 minutes
internally and 5-10 minutes externally a
day and you will have an engaged network
to reach out to for advice when you need it
most.

6. ‣ Find Speaking Opportunities: Start with
Toast Masters if you feel nervous about
public speaking. Once you are
comfortable join organizations where you
can share your knowledge. Promote your
speaking on LinkedIn.
‣ Resist the temptation to be an introvert.
Get Out There!

7. ‣ Mentor/Sponsor: Everyone benefits from
both mentors and sponsors. Even if you
yourself are both, you need someone to
help guide you on decisions and have your
back internally when you are not present.
‣ Continue Education: Even if you have
your MBA or advanced degree, things
change constantly. Make it a point to take
a course once a quarter and learn
something new. Share your knowledge
with your team and network.

8. ‣ Take Action: Don’t wait to raise your hand
or make sure you have everything on a list
of qualifications for a career move.
Express an interest in advancement and
find out what you need to do and then…do
it! Too often we wait for perfection which
is unattainable.
‣ Be Responsive: One of the quickest ways
to be viewed positively is how you respond
to others. Engage, attend, respond and be
present. You will be remembered for your
contributions to the discussion.
