If you want to get a raise the first time you ask, here are the three secret ingredients to getting that “Yes” and taking the next step in your career.

If you’re feeling stuck in a rut in your career, don’t wait for your circumstances to change. Don’t wait for someone to rescue you. Instead, take this simple advice and get back on track toward your goals today.

Once you let go of  “knowing” and instead embrace learning, you’ll stop being defensive at work and start getting ahead in your career.

Whether you’re leading hundreds of employees, a small team, or just yourself, developing these qualities and behaviors will take your workplace skills to the next level. 

Your mindset is directly linked to the way you behave. And how you behave at work is critical to your performance, no matter how many skills you have acquired. 

Mentors can be more than someone you know, and meet with. They can be people you admire and follow through other forms of contact like listening to their podcasts, or reading their books.

If you want to be a great leader, you need to act like one. I’m sharing my top ten behaviors of a great leader. How many of these attributes do you already have?

One of the best ways to get more job satisfaction is to be proactive! When you know what your boss wants, you can make sure you’re doing it.

A workplace is full of gray areas. Even though it can feel a little unnerving when you can’t control what’s happening, remember that you can control what you do in those situations.

Workplace relationships might be the most difficult part of the job.  More difficult than learning the skills to master your position.

The majority of people have this false belief that they don’t make enough money to be able to save. I’m offering a different perspective: You can start saving right now, no matter where you are financially.

Overwhelm can be caused by a mismanaged brain. Most people don’t want to work hard. Our brains tell us to seek pleasure, avoid pain, and do things that are easy.

It’s hard to overcome the things we resent, but the ability to look at things we find irritating or frustrating and then express appreciation for them is powerful, useful, and unexpected.

You’re never going to wake up and feel motivated to start doing things that are hard, scary, new, or uncertain unless you understand the three components of motivation.
