Want to know what it takes to kick ass at work? It's all about how you approach your career.
You can't just be in the office every day and hope for the best. You have to actively work on your career and make sure you're doing everything you can to get ahead.
Check out these tips for women who want to make their mark in the workplace:
1) Have a strong network of contacts (both inside and outside of your company). This will help you get access to information that no one else has, which is key when it comes to growing your influence in the business world.
2) Always be prepared. Whether it's with research or writing up an email, having all your ducks in a row means that you'll be ready for anything that comes up in your day-to-day life at work.
3) Don't let anyone tell you what they think is right for you. This may sound like an obvious thing, but sometimes we let other people's opinions dictate our own decisions without even realizing it and that can really hurt us later on down the line!
4. Be yourself. Don't try to be someone you're not. You'll just end up getting frustrated by trying, and then put your energy into something else.
5. Find out what you like to do at work and focus on that don't worry about having a job that pays less than what you want, or having one that pays more than what you want. It's all about finding the right fit for who you are as an individual, and trusting yourself to make a decision that feels good for both of those things.
6. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it! If there's something that's making your work performance suffer, talk to someone in HR or your manager about it. they'll do their best to help!
