Being [at Work]
What if the secret to real resilience isn’t just powering through, but learning to pause—even when it’s the absolute hardest thing to do? I’ve been there myself, caught in the frantic pace, feeling like the world’s too loud and demanding. Maybe you too, as a leader, find it easy to keep going… until suddenly, you realize you don’t even know how you feel anymore. You’re supposed to be strong, to keep it together.

info_outlineAre you still waiting for someone to notice your hard work? How long have you been hoping for a promotion or raise? Have you ever been told to be patient, wait for your turn, or that your time will come?
Too many talented professionals are waiting to be noticed, waiting for the right time, waiting for permission to take the next step in their careers. But here's the thing: You don't have to wait.
My guest today is Nate Dinet. Since 2016, more than 55,000 professionals have gone through his program to learn how to advance their careers and ask for what they know they’ve earned.
Nate walks us through the powerful “CARA” method for documenting your wins and shows you how to run a campaign for yourself (because no one else is going to do it!). It’s all about taking ownership, building confidence, and stepping into rooms where you fully belong.
By the end of this episode, you’ll know how to demonstrate your value, build your career narrative, and confidently advocate for the next step—whether that’s a raise, a promotion, or simply more respect at work. You’re done waiting. It’s time to take control of your career.
