Supporters: Do you make it easy for others to support you? One way of garnering more support is to show that you have the resolve to stick to your plans for success. People want to support those who are trying their best to win. When you feel like quitting, reach out to your supporters and express your desire to stay the course, even though you feel discouraged. Nine times out of 10, this is the best way to get a helping hand.

Change is hard, but finding a willingness to change is where you have to start. I had a great privilege to meet and hear Deborah Liu speak about her journey from #facebook to #ancestry.com. Namely, her journey of owning her success, promoting her wins, and claiming power for herself and her team. In Jeffrey Pfeffer's Path to Power class, we learn about the 7 Rules of Power: Rule 1) Get out of your own way As a child of immigrants, the values of my family’s beliefs run deep in my veins: "Don’t make too much noise and stick to the system. If you work hard enough people will notice you, eventually." Hearing Deb’s story in concert with Jeff’s lessons made me realize a truth. No one is actively out there looking for my wins. It’s on me to put my work and effort out there to celebrate and share with others. If I don’t talk about what I’ve done, no one else will. I owe it to others to share what we’ve created and make them realize how awesome we are. I know Jeff’s class is controversial, but I find it absolutely fascinating because it challenges many habits I’ve built about what it means to be successful in the workplace. Does this resonate with anyone else out there? Jeff's page: https://lnkd.in/g9J2Wbcw Deb's Substack: https://lnkd.in/gZiSRenX #stanford #gsb #bepowerful #reframe
