The Secret to Advancing Your Career When You Hate Office Politics

As an executive coach, I help smart women who hate office politics get promoted and better paid without throwing anyone under the bus.

If you're thinking, "I'm no fan of office politics myself, so how do you advance your career without playing games?" here's THE secret sauce.

A loving connection with yourself. Lemme explain.

A loving connection with yourself IS what gets you back on your feet...

When you've had a career setback, caused NOT by any wrong doing on your part, but caused by folks in your org who have yet to evolve past misusing authority and power, or have yet to become aware of their own unconscious biases against women and BIPOC women in the workplace.

A loving connection with yourself opens up your capacity to acknowledge and appreciate the value you bring to the table, no matter what sh*tstorm is happening at work.

A loving connection with yourself transmutes your relationship to money, so you courageously ask for and receive more of it without settling for 70% of what you really want.

A loving connection with yourself empowers you to redefine leadership in your unique shape, with your curly hair, and in your authentic voice, even if you are the only in the room.

A loving connection with yourself is what heals imposter syndrome and quiets the voices of the itty bitty sh*tty committee in your head, as you forge a new path forward, as the woman in charge.

And here's HOW to have a loving connection with yourself.

Don't wait for the promotion or raise to start.

Don't wait for the difficult boss to change or the culture at your org to transform overnight.

Start now. This moment.

Place a hand on your heart.

Take a deep breath in. Exhale twice as long.

Take a minute to acknowledge your grit, your efforts, every intention to do good and be excellent in all you do -- no matter what Becky in HR or the yell-y guy in Product said.

No matter how you're wrapping up 2022, give yourself the appreciation you truly deserve.

Receive it from the only person whose appreciation truly matters.

Do this repeatedly and I promise you will generate the courage, commitment, and confidence that makes you compelling and inspiring as the future VP.

Advocating for your ideas, for your team, for yourself will start to feel like second nature.

You will navigate your way through office politics and other workplace BS with your chin up.

You will grow yourself, your income, and your career with genuine satisfaction, not burnout.

P.P.S.

Now, if you're concerned that loving yourself "too much" will lead to arrogance, know this.

At the root of arrogance is a profound lack of self-esteem.

When you have a healthy self-regard, there's no need to brag in order to put others down. You lose the need to compare and despair.

Here's something I know to be true for me and for some of my clients: As women and minorities, we'd been taught to have an abusive relationship with ourselves, the very opposite of a loving connection.

We've been taught to deprive, second-guess, and beat ourselves up to achievements.

This pattern sometimes works, but it's extremely costly to your well-being and to sustainable career growth.

Let 2023 be the year you unlearn this pattern. Let 2023 be the year you love yourself to success.

Happy holidays!
