I used to live a one-day, some-day life. I was always thinking that one day my contribution would be noticed at work. I’d get praise from the top executive, maybe get a raise, and certainly a promotion, some day.
Then, I discovered goal setting and planning. At first, I’d start with just a few goals, handwritten in my journal on January 1st. You know, things like “lose 10 pounds by February 28” and “quit smoking for good this year.”
But I often left my career to chance. I was raised with the idea that if I did a great job, I would be noticed and rewarded, all in good time. Then, I met Jeff. He was hired 2 years after me, in the same position – same title, same degree, from the same college. I found out he was making $5,000 more than I was! Within six months, he was promoted. Within 2 years, he had left the firm and moved to another advertising opportunity in a larger market.
You see, Jeff knew how to work it. He understood how to get noticed, how to self-promote and how to get his great work appreciated. He was a Rock Star employee before people used that term. I took what I learned from Jeff and put it into my Career Roadmap.
If you’d like help creating your Career Roadmap, I’m taking appointments now for one-on-one sessions. You get:
- A 90-minute online session to co-create your Career Roadmap
- Review of your current resume
- Follow-up telephone coaching session in 60 days

The Career Roadmap process is designed to get fast results, by working with the job you currently have. It helps you get noticed, work towards a promotion, get a raise, or even win a better job!
I’m looking forward to working with you one-on-one. I know we can create a plan to help you get the job, status and income you deserve.
PS: Jeff came back to the agency 4 years later. By then, he was making double my salary. Instead of resenting his success, I befriended him and began to use his techniques to create my own Rock Star success. Let’s do it for you.
