On this week's episode of Career Espresso, I'm talking about why a mid year career is essential for taking charge of your development as we find ourselves in the second half of 2024.

A mid year review doesn't only give managers a formal opportunity to check in with their team & their employees. Your mid-year review is also the time for you to talk about everything that you've been doing, highlight your accomplishments and make sure, most importantly, you feel heard and valued at work.

I'll look at the benefits of doing a mid-year review in your career and how you can take a DIY approach if you're still waiting for your boss to book yours in. There's no standalone career coaching question for this week as I'll be giving you lots of questions to reflect on as you go through the review process!

On this week's episode of Career Espresso, I'm talking about why hard work alone isn't always enough to get you noticed in your career.

Advancing in your career doesn't only depend on how well you perform. Career development tends to be presented as a rational process where you acquire the appropriate skills, knowledge and experience to boost your chances of success.

What about self-promotion? We know it's important, so why don't we do it more?

It's not always an easy skill to master, but it's a powerful tool that you can't afford to overlook if you want to take control of your career.

I'll share 5 ways to get started with self-promotion in a way that makes you stand out for all the right reasons.

In this week's episode of Career Espresso, I'm talking about influencing the performance of people who don't report to you, otherwise known as managing sideways.

Think for a moment about the last time you needed to pull in a favour at work. Who was it that came to your rescue? I'd put money on it being one of your peers. The relationships we form at work help us to get stuff done when it counts most and managing sideways is about building a cooperative spirit that reaches across teams and departments.

I'll share 6 ways to manage sideways and do it well, and as always I'll finish up with a coaching question.
