How to Advocate for Yourself at Work - the 3 Steps that Work. Step 1: Know What You Want

Описание: Want to get promoted, gain recognition, or finally be heard at work but don’t know how to ask for it? You’re not alone. In this episode, communication expert and author Heather Hansen kicks off her 3-part series How to Advocate for Yourself at Work with Step 1: Know What You Want.

Before you can confidently ask for what you deserve, you must first get crystal clear on what you want and who can give it to you. This foundational step will completely shift how you show up, speak up, and succeed at work.

In this video, you’ll learn how to:
• Define what advocating really means (it’s not the same as manifesting)
• Break down your goals into actionable, strategic steps
• Overcome fear and guilt about wanting more at work
• Identify the right people to ask for opportunities or resources
• Strengthen your confidence by following through on your commitments

Heather also shares a powerful client story that shows how clarity and courage can open unexpected doors from being noticed on LinkedIn to landing interviews and building belief in yourself.
