How to build a powerful support network in your new job
Her Career, Her Life
This episode is about how to build influence in your new job. I introduce a tool I created for myself about a decade ago in my corporate career. I call this tool 'Influence Radar' and I’m going to explain what it is and how it works - and pretty soon it’ll become obvious where the ‘radar’ name comes from.

Building influence in your new job
Her Career, Her Life
This is episode 7 and we’ve already started to address mistake number 3 - failing to build influence. In the last episode I talked about the need to get really clear on your personal brand - what people say about you when you’re not in the room. In this episode (and the next one too) I dive into the detail of 'influence'. I explain what I think Influence is (and what it isn’t) and also why it’s so important.

If you’re nodding, Her Career Her Life podcast is for you.
I’ve designed this podcast in a series of ‘seasons’ with each one designed to tackle a specific flashpoint in our career and lives. I’ll cover some of the biggest challenges I’ve faced in my successful, 30-year corporate career, starting with how to be successful in a new job.
Each season has multiple episodes designed to give you a ton of valuable content and lots of real-life stories providing a view into my career including the trials, tribulations, successes and failures. It’s an honest approach, I welcome you into my world, so you can learn from my experiences and my mistakes. I give you my best tips and actionable advice you can put into practice right away and provide detailed notes and lots of great resources so you can continue learning.
The first season is all about the challenge of starting a new job and the first 10 episodes will dive into the things we need to think about when we’re embarking on a new role - whether that’s in a new organisation or if you’re being promoted within the business you already work for.
Future seasons will cover other challenges - for the second season I’ll tackle that thorny issue of work life balance, or rather how to avoid sacrificing your personal life for your career.
If you’re a guy and you’d like to listen, then you are (of course) also welcome.
