The Office Influencer Shortcast: Influence and People Skills At Work

Don’t be a gatekeeper at work. Its a short-game strategy. And people hate working with a gatekeeper. #howtogetpromoted #howtogetpromotedatwork #peopleskillsforbusiness #ambitiousprofessionals

Its not about being TOO modest about your accomplishments…its about making other people feel Great about themselves around you 🤩 #adviceforthecareergirly #youngprofessionals #careertok #beinglikable #humility

As someone who has presided over both toxic and Very healthy cultures, I’ve seen that calling yourselves a family can actually be very toxic and ruin a good culture. What are your thoughts? #toxicworkenvironment #toxicworkculture #workisnotafamily

If you dont have the ability to emotionally regulate yourself when someone brings you a concern, you dont need to be in a people management position. #leadershipskill #leadershipquality #managerproblems #managersbelike

We all know its annoying when someone drones on and on during a meeting…but then we get the floor, and do it ourselves! No shame here, but here’s a tool to help you get to your points quickly, and sound competent and authoritative when you speak up at work. #meetingsatwork #meetingsatworkbelike #workmeetings #careertok #adviceforthecareergirly

This may not be helpful for everyone, and thats ok. But it was helpful for me. Just sharing a personal experience…i am not a professional in this area. #anxietycheck #socialanxiety #selfawareness #anxietyawareness

Set strong boundaries and act unbothered when people try to make you feel guilty. You will only have to do this a few times before people understand that they cant mess with you. You gain respect when you set and HOLD strong boundaries. #respectatwork #respectatworkplace #boundariesatwork #careerboundaries #careeradvice

Use the PREP framework to structure how you speak up in meetings, and you will see a significant change in the way people respond to you. People have short attention spans—the more you say, the less they hear.

Trailblazing is one of the easiest ways to get noticed at work—and even if it doesnt result in a promotion or recognition from your current job/leadership, its an excellent resume builder, and great opportunity to brag about yourself at your next interview. #careeradviceformillenials #careeradvancement #ambitiousprofessionals #officeinfluencer #earlycareertok #youngprofessionaltiktok

Im here to be real with you about the pros and cons of working for a startup vs big corporate—i’ve experienced both. Either choice is valid. Remember that ALL experiences in your early career are valuable, and become lessons you can take forward with you. I have so much more to say about this—what questions do you have? #startupstory #startupbusiness #adultingseries #collegegradtips #adviceforthecareergirly #ambitiousprofessionals #youngprofessionals

What is the scariest/hardest part about putting your ideas out there? Does it always sound better in your head than it does when you talk about it? Do you struggle to know which info to prioritize? Are you so scared of rejection or not know the answer to a question that you choose to not speak up at all? Or none of the above? Let me know! #anxiousachiever #theanxiousachiever #anxioushighachiever #anxiousperformer #anxiousemployee #anxiousintroverts #awkwardpersonthings #awkwardinperson

Don’t unintentionally build a reputation you don’t want at work—coming across as overly eager and willing to take on literally anything will only tell people that you have no boundaries. Be choosy with what you take on, and make sure it aligns with where you’re actually trying to go. #youngprofessionaltiktok #highperformertok #anxiousemployee #adviceforthecareergirly #careeradvice2023 #careerstrategies #happinessatwork

Sometimes managers can be extremely difficult to “figure out”, and they aren’t good at communicating what their needs are. Managing up is a silly corporate buzzword that most people don’t actually understand. Basically it means (among other things)—tailor your communication to what your manager cares about. I could talk about this subject for a long time, as it gets much deeper than that. Should I make more videos about this? #aspiringleader #youngprofessionaltiktok #youngprofessionalwomen #ambitiousprofessionals #communicationatwork

Every single professional experience you have is valuable, even if it’s negative. Take all of those lessons and apply them to the rest of your career. Remember how every unpleasant experience made you feel, and vow to never subject anyone else to that. #collegegradtips #adultingseries #recentcollegegraduate

I have a lot to say about this. I’m 33 and I’ve learned so much over the past 10 years that I wish I could go back and tell myself, so I’ll just share it here instead. #collegegrad2022 #recentcollegegraduate #recentcollegegrads #collegegrad2023 #adviceforthecareergirly #adultingseries #fulfillingcareer

Your leadership is not going to feel confident in you if you’re a wildcard and your decision-making is all over the place. When you establish your internal self-awareness, you make it so much easier on yourself to make decisions because you have guideposts and criteria to guide you—you’re not starting from zero every time. #ambitiousprofessionals #ambitiousprocrastinator #corporategirlies #aspiringleaders #decisionmakingskills #leadershipskills101 #selfawarenesspractice

Toxically charismatic leaders—how do they make you feel soo good…yet SO bad about yourself?? When you have one of these in your life, you have to protect your reputation—giving them BIG emotional reactions makes YOU look out of control, even though they are the ones wreaking havoc. Protect your mental health and your professional image by being stoic in the face of the manipulation and games. #toxicleader #ambitiousprofessionals #ambitiouswoman💪 #professionalimage #protectyourmental #charismaatwork #youngprofessionaltiktok #OlsaSüperOlur

If you gossip about your team members with other team members, you’re not bonding—you’re just making them realize that you speak the same way about them. #peoplemanager #peopleleaders #aspiringleader #gossipatwork #toxicgossips

How many times have you heard this rant, or done it yourself? “They have zero concept of whats important to the company” 🙄 there tend to be different personality types, different vocabulary, and different (yet valid) perspectives on the business in each department. Become a bridge…and you’ll be IN DEMAND. #communicationskills #communicationatwork #careertok #careeradviceoftheday

I would never wish a toxic work environment on anyone. Ive experienced them myself multiple times. Now, i am incredibly grateful for them. I would not have a job i am in love with, without them. #careermindset #careermotivation #toxicworkplace #careertiktok

Which level are you typically at? #communicationatwork #careeradvicedaily #ambitiousprofessionals #communicationskills

Are you this person? Do you know this person? Theres a difference between occasionally getting passionate, and consistently letting your emotions get the best of you. #emotionsatwork #youngprofessionals #careertiktok #careeradviceoftheday

Don’t get angry, just provide a clear comparison that shows you are better, safer, and more authentic. #careertiktok #ambitiousprofessionals #careeradvice

If you’re feeling lost/disconnected/awkward at work—this is for you. #ambitiousprofessionals #careeradvice #howtogetpromotedatwork

Are you guilty of giving a fake compliment? I definitely am!!! When I realized how this makes the other person feel, i learned it truly was better to either say nothing at all, lr even to give honest, negative or constructive feedback. Dont damage your reputation by becoming someone who is known as “fake nice”. It doesnt do you any favors. #beingliked #howtobelikeable #professionalrelationships #careertok

You can gain a lot more respect in the long run by not wasting your time arguing over whose fault it was, especially if it was a small thing. Be the bigger person, take ownership, and move on. Leaders have to take responsibility for a lot of things that werent technically their fault—if you ever plan on pursuing leadership, start getting used to it. #leadershiplesson #careertips #careertiktok #ambitiouswomen #ambitiousprofessionals

Especially in a work context, people can feel forced to interrupt you if you are making these communication mistakes. #communicationskills #youngprofessionals #careertok #careeradvice #communicationatwork

Job title w/ authority=vanity metrics. Develop this type of power instead. #ambitiousprofessionals #careeradvice #leadershipdevelopment

Who has experienced this? 🙋🏼‍♀️😣 i actually had to completely write off one of my managers once because they did this constantly. I just avoided them at all costs and spoke as little as possible. #careertiktok #redflagsatwork #toxicworkenvironment

Reason 2 you’re overworked and underappreciated that YOU can change. #ambitiousprofessionals #ambitiouswomen #aspiringleader #youngprofessional

#anxiousachiever this is for you! Notice how people are treating you and responding to you—is your behavior prompting people to discredit you? #anxiousemployee #careeradvice
