In his new book “Secrets of Career Game: 36 simple strategies to win at work“Career coach Kendall Berg reveals a number of strategies to manage our careers that combine to find the work performing both greater promotions, headlines and salaries.
His weight caused more than half a million viewers InstagramYouTube, which is trying to move forward and be happy at work.
I asked Berg to share some concepts. Here’s the extraction of our conversation.
Kerry Hannon: What is the key to success in a career game?
Kendall Berg: Wherever you want to play the game and you want to play strategically, you want to play and choose where you will play the game. In our career, there are times more useful to do something for our progress, but it has passed a border or line of value that we are.
How is a career?
It is much like a chess without movement and opposite actions, rules and rules. My husband and my wife and first decided to teach me to play chess. He left a large number of rules in my comfortable win.
Your career acts in the same way, there are rules you say here: Here your description. Expectations to be successful. Here’s the results. Here are your deadlines.
But only by learning by playing, there are other sets of rules you learn, which is not difficult for you to work. This is how you supporter how you are, you build relationships with how you are talking about what you’re doing.
Each time you receive the first job offer, you are the only person you are just caught, regardless of how your passions, skills or values fit. If you remain loyal to a company that does not introduce you or growth for growth, you are the only person.
There is an important rule that spreads for both chess and a career game: it is possible to be the queen, the most valuable piece on the board.
You rarely depend on all this career progress. Give details about it.
Most of us think our career will be a flat meritocracy. Go to work, we will fulfill our duties and will only be enough to preach.
But it is not true. Progress in your career is about the development of soft skills correctly to be an effective leader, not about the intention of doing your basic business.
We have a tunnik vision. I always see: Millions of different projects increase the mental loads and stress levels, just to be unaware of the guidance.
Although your manager pays attention, you probably do not have time to understand that the work you do is the amount of detail, the cooperation required, the amount of time required.
So if you don’t defend yourself, share these details, it will not be a job to introduce you to the value of the work you do. So many people stick. Maybe you are able to act on the next level, but you don’t talk about it.
Why should we work our career as our work?
If I think my career as a job, I think it’s like a CEO. I think this client is the company you choose to choose to oppose the section to be hired by a customer.
I always sell myself and my work. Here’s what I’m fine. Here’s the value that your company has brought. Here’s why it is important. I am considering the effect of my work. Anyone who is a solo entrepreneur has launched a rush or business side, it knows you’re selling 99% of the time. There is the value of the work I brought. Here’s the impact on your bottom line.
When you start moving into a CEO mentality, you are constantly developing your work in the future to grow your business. Otherwise, you are a cog in the machine that takes a salary. You do not intend to see the same upper mobility and trajectory you want.
Kendall, you write about the importance of developing yourself, let’s discuss.
Our development is mostly our craters when we hit 40. We begin to achieve this mindset we think we know everything. I have been doing this for 20 years. Saw one or two things,
Our reality views are constantly changing. If you do not invest in yourself, if you do not learn the AI, new technologies, there is someone and that person will get to promote.

What is your list of 11?
11 The list is a home-owner tool that I have built over the past eight years to help you understand who you are, and how you want to show.
Here is five things you want to be known, five things you do not want to be recognized at work and a personal brand expression.
We really work hard. And to be self-evaluation rubric, it can help you to measure a good day against a really bad day. Here we help us see that we grow up in the direction we want to be known or start to slide in bad habits in the way we do not want to be known. After you understand yourself, you can start to express better than what you want to be as you want to be.
Sucks down. There is a lot of feeling that really feels you feel uncomfortable. They can be very harmful to your trust. You feel there is a decline. This post-Esmousal is a sad process.
You should give yourself time and place to feel these things, but not much. There are two weeks. Feel all your feelings. If you have personality type, cry him. Go to Aruba.
Sit with it then you should return to the game relatively.
Meet someone who works in a company you want or any company and anyone and everyone. These can be personally or virtual for 15 minutes to catch, but personally better. These are not “you can contact me” calls.
Then determine your 11 list, passion expressions, personal brand statement, the work you want to target.
Your personal brand, when you talk about yourself in reports, how you talk about yourself on your CV, how you talk about yourself in a coffee conversation, how you talk about yourself.
Just start applying this right passion to warm up this right, recovering this right of the question, to create this right passion question
Then go out to the business market. It can take three to nine months to be mercenary, but workplaces are filled by referrals, because the ceiling and people can contact.
