Hacking your work life

[Kate Huyett]

Hey all -

Curious on the topic of hacking your career/job.

What's the most helpful professional development thing you've ever done (time mgmt, presentation skills, mentorship program, etc)?

Less stress and margin for error. More focus and task dominance.

Asking for things I wanted. Prior to reading The Success Principles by Jack Canfield, I kinda just waited for things to be delegated to me. The Success Principles is a book that really changed my life and if you look into it, definitely read the chapter "Ask, ask, ask". The thing about asking is that you have to believe that you deserve those things too. By asking, I got a raise, a promotion, I got more projects I felt more passionate about, and therefore I felt better at work and it showed in the quality of my work. Hope this helps :)

It's not a cool new app or secret hack, but I'd say getting comfortable using the phone. It's often much faster than the email back and forth that tends to occur all too often. Most people don't pick up the phone soon enough.

Second to that would be learning to negotiate. Everything in business is a compromise and negotiation to some extent, and the average person is terrible at it.

I would have to say it's a variation of delegation.  I outsource non essential items and essentially let others "create" my content where I now work on making sure its syndicated and getting the most exposure.  They do what they are great at and I do what I think I am good at!

For me, I would say it was learning Bill Jensen's Know, Feel, Do framework from his book, The Simplicity Survival Handbook. Whenever I have to write any kind of communication especially emails, I think about what I want the readers of my emails to know, how I want them to feel and what I would like them to do as a result of my email. Also, I try to do it in five sentences or less from Leo Babuata's The Power of Less, since I think people write emails that are too long.
